The ChatGPT Impact on Education: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Review

Abstract

This bibliometric study involves 241 articles about ChatGPT within education, revealing a robust study field with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 23,900% and a high level of international collaboration (18.67%). The results also show that leading countries contribute distinct insights. Five unique study clusters emerged from co-occurrence analysis, concentrating on the development, role, and practical impact of ChatGPT. The multidisciplinary scope of the research highlights ChatGPT’s broad applicability from transformations to ethical dilemmas. Sentiment analysis also showed that teaching is essential, especially in higher education and medicine. The limitations of this study are concentrated on specific databases. Future research suggests adding more databases, the ethical, and pedagogical implications.
