This study probes the notable gap between the theoretical endorsement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDGs 7, 12, and 13, and their tangible implementation in higher education curricula. We hypothesize that entrenched unsustainable practices in key academic disciplines, such as engineering and business, persist despite the global shift towards sustainability. The study engages a diverse cohort of participants from academia, public, private, and nonprofit sectors, chosen for their distinct roles and insights in integrating SDGs into educational and industrial frameworks. Our research design integrates an extensive qualitative literature review and critical analyses with quantitative surveys using specially designed instruments. The study was conducted with a sample of 48 participants, representing various sectors, using specially designed survey instruments to gauge expert opinions on the barriers and opportunities in advancing sustainable education. Our findings identify economic and administrative hurdles as primary impediments to academia’s shift towards sustainability. The data underscore the urgent need for targeted strategies in transitioning to a net-zero educational paradigm. The study concludes with a call to reshape academic initiatives, highlighting the critical role of education in preparing future leaders. It emphasizes bridging the gap between theoretical support for SDGs and their practical application in academia, proposing actionable strategies for this alignment.

“…In the same direction Loaiza, (2002), Manzano et al, (2023 denotes, virtual education frames the use of new technologies, towards the development of alternative methodologies for the learning of students of special populations that are limited by their geographic location, the quality of teaching and the time available. In this perspective, virtual education provides the opportunity for all interested parties to access training according to the needs and requirements of the learners, thus becoming a space for inclusion and democratization of education, so that the incorporation of the virtual education approach as a process of learning facilitation becomes an excellent resource, in line with the current international educational scenario.…”

Virtual education at the university has become a reference to undertake actions with great contributions to current higher education. In relation to this, the general objective of this study was to analyze virtual university education as an opportunity to respond to current changes. To this end, a review of a series of research works related to the subject was carried out. From the methodological point of view, content analysis was used, through a documentary-bibliographic review of studies published in recent years; however, information from previous years, considered of value for this research, was also taken into account. For the compilation of information sources, the Internet database of reliable specialized academic sites was used. The most relevant results show that virtual education in higher education is a valuable tool that offers multiple possibilities for the development of the teaching-learning process in an environment consonant with today's educational demands. It is concluded that the incorporation of the virtual university education approach as a process of learning facilitation in national universities, contributes to the necessary transformation that the current reality imposes in terms of what corresponds to the university academic formation of a quality, competent graduate, who responds to the demands of the highly changing and demanding environment.

“…In international education, the most popular innovative trends are information and communication technology (ICT), assets blending, artificial intelligence (AI), and game play, and others (Ren et al, 2021). Invigorating innovation management has become an important factor especially in the context of educational process conduction; and innovation is an inalienable tool of educational reforms (Pérez et al, 2023).…”

This article carries out a bibliometric research review to present the evolving landscape of innovations in science education. The study acknowledges the dynamism of the contemporary educational practices and uses the bibliometric analyses for identification of trends, assessment of impacts of scholarly outputs, and mapping the future directions in the field of science education innovation. Starting with a review of the standard bibliometric indicators, e.g., citation analysis and co-authorship, the review lays down the theoretical basis for the understanding of the scientific impact of the innovations in science education. The analysis, moreover, consists of identifying thematic foci and emerging topics through keyword mapping, which together present a holistic picture of the intellectual map of the field. The review points to seminal works and trends, demonstrating the nature of interdisciplinarity in research in science education innovation. By the analysis of collaborative networks and research hotspots the research not only demonstrates the present status of the field, but also predicts its future directions, which could help researchers and educators at the same time. Also, as a retrospective tool, the article explores the general relevance of bibliometric insights for educators, administrators, and other researchers. It highlights the application of bibliometrics in evidence-based decision-making, curricula design and international collaboration, because it is common knowledge that it can trigger the great revolution in innovative science education. This bibliometric review generates useful outcomes, which are beneficial to academic discussions and provide guidelines for future research efforts as a key reference for researchers who would like to have a deep, general overview of the innovations in science education.
