Non-Digital Games That Promote Mathematical Learning in Primary Years Students: A Systematic Review

“…There is evidence that the concentration of research across countries is somewhat different for research into non-digital games compared with mathematics education research more generally. For example, whereas almost half of the high-quality English-language mathematics education research articles reported on research conducted in the United States (43%, [26]; 46%, [27]), this was only the case for around one-sixth (5 out of 32) of the studies in the scope of our systematic review. By contrast, Indonesia and Australia had the same number of studies in the scope of our systematic review as the United States, despite Indonesia not being listed in the top 10 countries in terms of the quantity of high-quality English-language mathematics education research articles published, and Australia generating only around one-twentieth of the research articles focused on mathematics education more generally [26,27].…”

Although there are likely multiple reasons for these differences, one factor may be that game-playing to support learning is more prevalent in particular countries, cultures, and communities than others.…”

A Bibliometric Analysis on Sustainable Research in Mathematics Education

“…United States holds the first place in both studies for the different time periods. United States was also found to be the highest contributor in the study by Yig (2022) who employed bibliometric analysis and social network analysis. These results validate that United States consistently has been publishing the highest number of articles for forty decades.…”

Problem-posing research in mathematics education: A bibliometric analysis

“…In this study, articles related to problem posing in mathematics education in the Web of Science database were examined using the bibliometric analysis method. The bibliometric analysis method, which is one of the tools considered important in the evaluation of academic research (Dede & Özdemir, 2022;Yığ, 2022) is a quantitative data analysis application to explore, evaluate and examine large amounts of scientific data (Donthu et al, 2021;Zupic & Cater, 2015). The bibliometric analysis approach uses techniques, such as co-occurrence analysis, keyword analysis, cluster analysis, and bibliometric maps to examine studies in the literature systematically (Song & Wang, 2020).…”
