A bibliometric study on the use of games in the Production Engineering area

Abstract

Keeping the student focused for long periods of time has been a challenge for teachers. The adoption of new teaching strategies in which students leave the position of listeners and share with the master the active position is already known and even adopted. These strategies give students the opportunity to have more interactive experiences, stimulate independent thinking, create discussions within the group thus contribute to the improvement of the teaching- learning process. In that sense, the use of educational games has been an alternative, as they can mitigate the difficulty that students have in making the parallel between the concepts theorists learned from situations of application of this knowledge. Monitor the growth of the literature and research patterns in a given thematic area is an important step to understand the development of this domain. Therefore, the bibliometrics has been an emerging area, as it aims to describe, evaluate and monitor research published in a given field of knowledge. In this way, it is defined as the general objective of this work to map and characterize publications on the use of games and related terms in Production Engineering from bibliometric research in the annals of the National Meeting of Production Engineering. In this research, techniques such as Citation, Bibliographic Coupling, Co-author, Co-citation and Co- word were used, from which bibliometric maps are generated with the aid of the VOSviewer software, in which, for example, the most used keywords are shown; institutions and authors who publish works in the field; the authors who are engaged bibliographically; those who work together; and those that appear simultaneously in the reference lists.

The Phenomenon of Panic Buying and Scarcity during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Bibliometric Study

“…In the development of bibliometric studies (as well as in the expansion of use in scientometrics), there are two procedures for conducting research, namely by using Performance Analysis and Science mapping (Rosado & De Souza, 2021;Yu & Muñoz-Justicia, 2020). Deep performance analysis describes evaluations of scientific publications and citations comprising databases such as author(s), author affiliation(s), total citation, type of document, and main information.…”

Trends in scientific publication of traditional game learning models in physical education and sports in Indonesia: A bibliometric analysis

“…This is significant because the bibliometric method provides a macroscopic summary of the vast scientific literature, which is required for proper decision making among experts on a specific issue. Bibliometric reviews of learning models have been conducted in a variety of disciplines and fields, including: the concept of games in digital learning environments (Schöbel et al, 2021), induced games (Baccini et al, 2019), the use of games in the production engineering area (Rosado & De Souza, 2021), incorporating adaptation in educational games (Liu et al, 2020), and gamification in education (Swacha, 2021).…”
