Bibliometric Analysis: Technology Studies in Science Education

Abstract

It is thought that the results of a study examining the articles published in peer-reviewed journals on technology in science education in terms of many criteria will provide important information to researchers. For this purpose, bibliometric network analysis was chosen as a method. The purpose of choosing this research method is to clearly summarize the relationship between science education and technology in order to identify technology in science education. In order to answer the research questions, bibliometric data consisting of 8511 articles in the Scopus database were evaluated using the bibliographic data obtained with the VOSviewer program. In addition, Pareto Law, Price Law, Lotka Law were used within the scope of citation analysis in the research. The results obtained from the research are presented.

Innovations in science education: A bibliometric exploration of trends and future directions

“…Furthermore, besides the identification of International Journal of STEM Education and Journal of Science Education and Technology as among the most cited journals in this field, the analysis also highlighted according to Tas and Bolat (2022). These citations (Ertem & Aypay, 2023;Kadirhanogullari & Kose, 2023;Kundakci & Atay, 2023;Masalimova et al, 2023;Medias et al, 2023;Savas, 2022) are essential to both the researchers and the experts working in the field of science education and ensure that they utilize the insights as well as the findings of other experts when designing future research and implementing these practices. Doing a bibliometric analysis of where articles related to science education innovations are published reveals that there are certain nations that stand out as they have the most prominent contributions to scientific discussions.…”
