Active methodologies emphasize student participation, autonomy, and skill development, offering an innovative approach to education. However, their implementation in Spain faces challenges, including limited teacher training, resource shortages, institutional constraints, and resistance from both educators and students. This research aims to explore teachers’ perceptions regarding the integration of active methodologies into their teaching practices. The research employed a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional survey design to systematically analyze population characteristics. The study utilized a validated questionnaire with Likert-scale items to assess teachers’ use of active methodologies. Data were collected anonymously via Google Forms, ensuring confidentiality and a robust reliability (Cronbach’s alpha 0.942). The study sampled answers provided by 994 Spanish teachers aged 20–65 using stratified probabilistic sampling, ensuring representation across educational levels, disciplines, and urban–rural contexts. This study shows that teachers prefer traditional active methodologies, such as cooperative learning, while emerging technologies like artificial intelligence face limited adoption due to training gaps. Women show a greater inclination towards active methodologies, with minimal impact from geographical context. These findings underscore the importance of targeted teacher training and support the idea that it is of paramount importance to bridge the gaps in active methodology implementation, fostering inclusive, innovative, and student-centered learning environments across diverse educational contexts.

En el contexto actual de la Investigación Educativa, el análisis bibliométrico emerge como una herramienta esencial para comprender las tendencias, patrones y dinámicas de producción científica en esta disciplina. La necesidad de sintetizar y evaluar la ingente cantidad de literatura existente en educación ha llevado a la adopción creciente de enfoques bibliométricos, que permiten identificar áreas de interés, investigadores prominentes y evolución temporal de temas. Para este estudio, se llevó a cabo un análisis bibliométrico exhaustivo, utilizando técnicas cuantitativas para analizar una amplia muestra de artículos académicos en el campo de la educación. Se recopilaron datos bibliográficos de diversas bases de datos académicas, como Web of Science y Scopus, y se aplicaron criterios de inclusión para seleccionar los artículos relevantes para el análisis. Los hallazgos revelaron un aumento significativo en el uso de enfoques metodológicos mixtos en la Investigación Educativa, lo que sugiere una tendencia hacia la integración de métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos para abordar preguntas de investigación complejas. Además, se observó un incremento en la colaboración internacional entre investigadores en el campo de la educación, destacando la naturaleza cada vez más globalizada de la investigación en este ámbito. Aunque el análisis bibliométrico ofrece importantes perspectivas sobre la producción científica en educación, es crucial reconocer sus posibles limitaciones, como la dependencia de bases de datos específicas y los sesgos inherentes a la selección de estudios. Sin embargo, a pesar de estas limitaciones, el análisis bibliométrico sigue siendo una herramienta valiosa para investigadores y profesionales de la educación, proporcionando información clave para la toma de decisiones informadas y la identificación de áreas de investigación prioritarias.

This article identifies the socio-emotional competencies of school counsellors working with children and adolescents. The aim is to address problems related to mental health and conflict and to implement training programmes. The study sample was composed of 149 counsellors working in schools. The instruments used were the CCPES-II (questionnaire on teacher competences) and a series of open-ended questions on conflict resolution. A mixed methodology was used, with a concurrent triangulation design with two phases: a quantitative one (QUAN) and a qualitative one (QUAL). Univariate, bivariate, and correlation quantitative analyses were performed. Parametric and non-parametric tests were applied depending on the number of dependent and independent variables. The qualitative analysis was performed with the NVivo 12 computer programme, which determines word frequencies using a classic content analysis. The results confirm the relationship between socio-emotional training and rapid response to school conflict; the generalised view that conflicts are difficult to anticipate and, thus, to prevent; and the demand for specific training in socio-emotional competences, intervention strategies, more specialised school staff, more time for intervention with and support for families, and more socio-professional recognition.

La sociedad de la información y del conocimiento ha crecido a pasos agigantados en la docencia a partir del auge de la educación a distancia y la inclusión de las TIC. Esto implica que los docentes deben ser, y sentirse digitalmente competentes para poder desarrollar su labor de forma eficaz. Hemos desarrollado un estudio para analizar tres de los parámetros que definen la competencia digital, en docentes de la provincia de Badajoz: el tratamiento de la información, la selección y creación de contenidos y la comunicación docente. Junto a estas variables, hemos incluido parámetros sociodemográficos que nos ayuden a definir cuáles son claves dentro de la configuración de la competencia digital docente, como son el género, la edad, la experiencia, la titulación académica máxima, el nivel educativo de docencia y la población del municipio de docencia. Los resultados han indicado que, prioritariamente, el profesorado otorga mayor importancia al tratamiento de la información y que, tanto la edad como la titulación académica del docente, son variables fundamentales, ya que, a medida que aumenta la edad y mejora la formación del docente, mejoran las variables que configuran la competencia digital, capacitando al profesorado para una labor docente correcta en términos digitales y, por ello, más adaptados a las necesidades de la escuela contemporánea.

This study offers a comprehensive examination of the scientific output related to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education using qualitative research methods, which is an emerging intersection that reflects growing interest in understanding the pedagogical, ethical, and methodological implications of AI in educational contexts. Grounded in a theoretical framework that emphasizes the potential of AI to support personalized learning, augment instructional design, and facilitate data-driven decision-making, this study conducts a Systematic Literature Review and bibliometric analysis of 630 publications indexed in Scopus between 2014 and 2024. The results show a significant increase in scholarly output, particularly since 2020, with notable contributions from authors and institutions in the United States, China, and the United Kingdom. High-impact research is found in top-tier journals, and dominant themes include health education, higher education, and the use of AI for feedback and assessment. The findings also highlight the role of semi-structured interviews, thematic analysis, and interdisciplinary approaches in capturing the nuanced impacts of AI integration. The study concludes that qualitative methods remain essential for critically evaluating AI’s role in education, reinforcing the need for ethically sound, human-centered, and context-sensitive applications of AI technologies in diverse learning environments.
