Abstract

One of the trends currently developing in Higher Education is open education. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the impact of Open Educational Practices in Higher Education. In order to carry out this research, a literature review focused on a descriptive-retrospective approach was carried out. Regarding the choice of the sample, a non-probabilistic purposive sampling was used, where 24 studies published in the Web Of Science database between 2018 and 2022 were chosen as the sample. Among the most noteworthy results, more than half (66.6%) are quantitative studies, within which, for the most part, we find research based on questionnaires, implementation of projects to promote the use of OER and literature reviews. Finally, 60% of the publications analysed conclude that Open Educational Practices are a tool that improves student learning. This work concludes that student motivation and interest, as well as meaningful learning and critical thinking, are influenced by the use of Open Educational Practices.
