Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.79, pp.1706-1722.  Epub Feb 22, 2024. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.23.079.ao21.

Learning Pathway are didactic sequences defined by a teacher, aiming to guide the learning process of a certain topic, consisting of a resource suitable for use in Virtual Learning Environments. Therefore, for the good creation of these materials, it is important that the teacher is familiar with research that demonstrates the adoption of Learning Pathway and, thus, adapts the findings to their context. In this sense, the objective of the present study was to verify the profile of international scientific research, on Learning Pathway implemented in Virtual Learning Environments, for higher education, between 2013 and 2022. To this end, a bibliometric research was carried out on the Scopus platform. The year 2021 was the year with the largest amount of research. The most cited study was “Learning Analytics and Digital Badges: Potential Impact on Student Retention in Higher Education”. The areas of social sciences and computer science were those with the most work. It was noticed that each author in the sample published only 1 article on the subject and that Portugal and Germany were the countries with the largest number of studies. In turn, English was the most used language in research. Regarding keywords, the most adopted were higher education, e-learning, learning paths, blended learning, credentials, digital badges, learning analytics, learning management systems, microlearning, online course, sustainability, making it possible to organize 4 main lines search based on the networks that exist between them and the other keywords.

Keywords : Bibliometric Study; Higher Education; Virtual Learning Environments; Learning Routes..
