Detecting Blended Learning, Collaborative Learning and Internationalisation in Military Education: A Systematic Literature Review

Since the 1990s, the topic of Military Education has begun to receive greater attention from researchers following the transition of the armed forces into a configuration as a professional entity. This transition required specific training that adhered to national standards and, over time, included both European and international ones. Moreover, interest has also been directed towards teaching methodologies to improve the officer education process, considering technological evolution and openness to the foreign as essential factors within this process. Therefore, alongside the theme of military education, thematic areas that seek to improve and innovate military education have begun to coalesce. These areas include Blended learning, Collaborative learning, and Internationalisation. The purpose of the paper is to understand the specific research state of the art in the world of reference literature on the topic. This research, through a systematic literature review, aims to investigate the combination of military education with forms of blended learning, collaborative learning, and internationalisation. The paper intends to be a point of reference for future research and carry the reins of innovation in the field of military education.
