Contexto: La transformación digital ha modificado los modelos tradicionales de gestión pública educativa, generando la necesidad de fortalecer marcos institucionales, capacidades digitales y estrategias de gobernanza orientadas a responder a los desafíos tecnológicos contemporáneos. Objetivo: Analizar la evolución, tendencias y agenda de investigación sobre transformación digital en la gestión pública educativa durante el periodo 2015-2025. Metodología: Se desarrolló una revisión sistemática bajo el protocolo PRISMA. La búsqueda se efectuó en las bases de datos Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO y Google Scholar, mediante la combinación de descriptores como "digital transformation", "digital government" y "educational governance", utilizando operadores booleanos AND y OR. Se identificaron 1.173 registros iniciales y, tras la eliminación de duplicados y aplicación de criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 23 estudios empíricos y de revisión para el análisis final. Resultados: Los hallazgos evidenciaron un crecimiento sostenido de la producción científica desde 2021, con predominio de enfoques cualitativos y una concentración temática en gobernanza digital, competencias digitales docentes e inteligencia artificial aplicada a la gestión educativa. Asimismo, se identificó que la transformación digital requiere superar limitaciones vinculadas con infraestructura tecnológica, capacidades institucionales y desigualdades de acceso, especialmente en contextos latinoamericanos. Conclusiones: La transformación digital en la gestión pública educativa constituye un proceso multidimensional que demanda articulación entre políticas públicas, infraestructura tecnológica y formación de actores educativos. Aunque existe una expansión de la investigación en el área, persisten brechas regionales que requieren estrategias institucionales orientadas a una digitalización inclusiva, sostenible y contextualizada.
Background: Digital transformation has reshaped traditional models of public educational management, generating the need to strengthen institutional frameworks, digital capabilities, and governance strategies aimed at addressing contemporary technological challenges. Objective: To analyze the evolution, trends, and research agenda on digital transformation in public educational management during the 2015-2025 period. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. The search was performed in the Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases through the combination of descriptors such as "digital transformation," "digital government," and "educational governance," using Boolean operators AND and OR. A total of 1,173 initial records were identified, and after removing duplicates and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 empirical and review studies were selected for the final analysis. Results: The findings revealed sustained growth in scientific production since 2021, with a predominance of qualitative approaches and thematic concentration on digital governance, teachers' digital competencies, and artificial intelligence applied to educational management. The evidence also showed that digital transformation requires overcoming limitations related to technological infrastructure, institutional capacities, and inequalities in access, particularly in Latin American contexts. Conclusions: Digital transformation in public educational management constitutes a multidimensional process that requires articulation among public policies, technological infrastructure, and the development of educational stakeholders' capacities. Although research in this field is expanding, regional gaps persist, requiring institutional strategies aimed at achieving inclusive, sustainable, and context-responsive digitalization.
