THE APPLICATION OF MIXED REALITY IN AUTISTIC STUDENTS FOR EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS THROUGH BIBLIOMETRIC INDICATORS

In today's societies, technology plays a fundamental role in the development of everyday tasks.This tool is increasingly being used in a wide variety of fields of knowledge.In recent years, the use of mixed reality is spreading in educational environments.This is because mixed reality offers the possibility to create learning situations where communication and social interaction skills can be practiced.Therefore, this tool is adjusted to a type of student that is increasingly present in the classrooms of schools, namely autistic students.As a consequence, the aim of the research is to carry out an analysis on the use of mixed reality in students with autism using all the databases of the Web of Science, in the period 2019-2024.Search words were chosen from the ERIC Thesuarus.These words were autism, autism spectrum disorder, autism spectrum disorders, high-functioning autism, low-functioning autism and Asperger.After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample was 58 documents.The most important results show that the United States is the largest producer of publications with 16 of the papers.Likewise, the most prolific period was the year 2024 with 13 publications, with computer science and engineering being the areas most present in the Web of Science.Finally, the most published document types are conferences and articles.As future lines, the possibility of extending the period of analysis and using other databases is proposed.
