Education and TIC: The use of network theory in the analysis of social and academic relationships in educational contexts

Abstract

This research work focuses on analyzing the use of social network theory in the educational context. For this, three research published in various indexed journals were taken as a reference where the methodology used and the conclusions reached after using this methodological framework as a methodological framework have been described. The results obtained, have allowed to show the incorporation of this methodology in these contexts, however, as there is no detailed knowledge on this subject and inter and multidisciplinary work of the research professionals, it has been concluded that this methodology of the proposed analysis, it may not always be capable of being applied and replicated in other contexts. © 2020, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao.
