摘要
Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the education system, causing a shift towards online distance education. This systematic review aims to systematize research studies focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) higher education in Latin America. The search was conducted on the Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, ACM Library, and Scielo databases. In total, 18 studies were selected from the fields of biology (01), chemistry (02), computer science (04), information science (02), engineering (06), systems engineering (02), and interdisciplinary (01). The results show that online learning partially followed a constructivist approach, but sometimes caused stress and depression in students. While online teaching employed gamification, and virtual laboratories, it increased professors' workload. Universities implemented online courses, and some promoted interdisciplinary research. This review discusses the challenges and opportunities of online distance education by demonstrating the efforts made to introduce this modality of education in Latin American higher education institutions.
