Funciones ejecutivas, estudiantes universitarios, bibliometría, innovaciónResumen
El funcionamiento ejecutivo es crucial en el ámbito educativo, ya que influye en el éxito académico y profesional de los estudiantes universitarios. Esta revisión bibliométrica tiene como objetivo explorar los avances recientes en la investigación sobre este tema, identificando tendencias emergentes y vacíos de conocimiento. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda exhaustiva en bases de datos científicas, utilizando palabras clave específicas y aplicando criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los artículos seleccionados provienen de revistas científicas de alto impacto y se analizaron en función de su contribución al entendimiento del funcionamiento ejecutivo en estudiantes. Los resultados destacan una tendencia creciente hacia el uso de enfoques innovadores y metodologías diversas, que van desde la identificación de factores que predicen el rendimiento académico hasta la relación entre funcionamiento ejecutivo y bienestar psicológico. Este estudio ofrece una visión actualizada del estado del arte en este campo, identificando brechas en la literatura actual y sugiriendo futuras líneas de investigación para mejorar la comprensión de las habilidades ejecutivas en el contexto universitario.
