Abstract

The rise of the economy's productivity depends on the number of educated employees since the efficiency of performing tasks is enhanced by skillful workers. This paper analyzes the relevance and state-of-the-art performance of educational services and programs for the higher education system's higher contribution to the digital economy. It reviews changes in three common aspects of education concerning digital economy challenges: funding mechanisms for education; changes in the duration of learning; changes in how and what we learn. The systematic mapping study aims to structure the most recent knowledge in higher education to contribute to the digital economy by identifying, classifying, and evaluating the current state of the art in the target research area. The research process followed common steps based on the guidelines of similar systematic mapping studies. A classified portfolio of key publications is recommended, each of which proposes its own sets of educational change solutions in reaction to digital economy challenges. The most commonly cited change in education relevant to the main challenge (integrated skills) in the digital economy is the STEAM movement, which is useful for educators and academic managers to know. Finally, we will show the future research agenda, weaknesses of the study, and observed trends.
