Abstract

Digital transformation belongs to industry 4.0, and has positively impacted the economic sectors through the digitization of processes and adoption of digital technologies, generating a digital culture, changing environments, new development models, new processes, creation of products and services in an organization. Analyzing the positive effects of digital transformation, a systematic review of the literature has been carried out to know the current status of digital transformation processes in the education sector, where there is evidence of few frameworks validated in higher education scenarios to implement digital transformation processes. This article presents previous results related to the current state of digital transformation processes in higher education institutions, which has allowed to advance in the development of a proposal for a framework that supports the implementation of transformation processes in educational institutions in their mission functions. The proposal will be focused on a projective analytical research methodology, the method of action research of quantitative type proposed, makes it possible to analyze the data of a population in 7 higher education institutions in the city of Popayan, department of Cauca (Colombia).
