Abstract

In recent years, changes in the educational and social sector have been reflected in the growing interest in defining how the attributes of the educational space affect the teaching and learning process of students. In this context, the classroom is characterized by combining physical, environmental and spatial variables; so that, together with design and organization, it is considered a facilitating element of learning. The aim of this study is to identify the scientific publications related to the impact of the design of the educational space in the process of learning of the students of Higher Education, during the period between 2005 to 2019. The analyzed searches include the network of collaboration between authors, countries and institutions, in addition to the relationships between the keywords. A bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature was performed using the Scopus database. Thus, 2,173 documents on the subject of research were identified. The results of the analysis revealed that, productivity increased considerably since 2010. Likewise, the analysis of the effect that the classroom design induces in the cognitive and emotional processes of the student are detected as the main research trends.
