minería y educación 4.0, revisión sistemática, bibliometría, competenciasResumen
Este artículo presenta una revisión sistemática (PRISMA 2020) y bibliométrica de 157 documentos (Scopus/WoS) para determinar la estructura intelectual, las brechas de competencias y la arquitectura curricular en la educación universitaria. Los resultados revelan un crecimiento anual de 18.4% y un núcleo de nueve revistas Q1. El análisis conceptual identifica nueve clústeres, destacando gemelos digitales, sostenibilidad/ESG, inteligencia artificial, sistemas ciberfísicos, Educación 4.0 y reskilling. A partir de esto, se propone el marco MC4–Mining, integrado por cuatro capas curriculares: alfabetización ciberfísica, analítica físico-computacional, integración disciplinar minera y capstone academia–industria. La contribución central es transformar esta evidencia en una arquitectura curricular operacionalizable —con matriz de brechas y ruta crítica quinquenal— para guiar a las universidades latinoamericanas frente a la transición digital, energética y sociotécnica de la minería contemporánea.
