E-learning has become an emerging approach to delivering knowledge and information to students. It presents significant challenges to sharing and understanding learners' knowledge, inquiries, interest, and needs. Educational organizations are expected to apply the appropriate practice to address knowledge-sharing challenges in the e-learning…

Researchers and practitioners are paying increasing attention to blockchain's potential for resolving trust, privacy, and transparency-related issues in smart education. Research on educational blockchain is also becoming an active field of research. Based on 206 studies published from 2017 to 2020, we identify contributors, collaborators,…

The purpose of this study is to determine the trend in studies related to Science instruction and ICT. The study has been studied with extensive data, and the data mining method has been used. Some articles entered the ERIC database within the research scope and published in January 2020, starting from 1965. In this context, 1,783,418 articles…

Learning analytics (LA) involves the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, aiming to understand and optimize both the learning process and the environments in which it occurs. Among many themes that the LA community considers, natural language processing (NLP) algorithms have been widely…

This research aimed to determine the trends related to blended learning studies conducted in science education through descriptive content analysis. This study was performed using the document review method. For this purpose, 120 studies on blended learning in science education were determined between 2005 and 2022 in the Web of Science (WoS)…

Data-based decision-making is a well-established field of research in education. In particular, the potential of data use for addressing heterogeneous learning needs is emphasized. With data collected during the learning process of students, teachers gain insight into the performance, strengths, and weaknesses of their students and are potentially…

The application of information technology (IT) in education has opened new scenarios for this ancient process. With the rapidly changing field of IT, the adoption of IT in education has been changed drastically. It is quite difficult for researchers to keep pace with changing research trends. An analysis based on the keywords could provide a…

The application of natural language processing (NLP) technology in the field of education has attracted considerable attention. This study takes 716 articles from the Web of Science database from 1998 to 2023 as its research sample. Using bibliometrics as the theoretical foundation, and employing methods such as literature review and knowledge…

Distance learning has assumed a relevant role in the educational scenario. The use of Virtual Learning Environments contributes to obtaining a substantial amount of educational data. In this sense, the analyzed data generate knowledge used by institutions to assist managers and professors in strategic planning and teaching. The discovery of…

The purpose of this literature review is to understand the current state of research on tools that collect data for the purpose of formative assessment. We were interested in identifying the types of data collected by these tools, how these data were processed, and how the processed data were presented to the instructor or student for the purpose…

Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning (m/u-learning) are finding an increasing adoption in education. They are often distinguished by hybrid learning environments that encompass elements of formal and informal learning, in activities that happen in distributed settings (indoors and outdoors), across physical and virtual spaces. Despite their purported…

Background/purpose: ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence program released in November 2022, but even now, many studies have expressed excitement or concern about its introduction into academia and education. While there are many questions to be asked, the current study reviews the literature in order to reveal the potential effects of ChatGPT on…

As the fields of learning analytics and learning design mature, the convergence and synergies between the two are becoming an important area for research. This paper intends to summarize the main outcomes of a systematic review of empirical evidence on learning analytics for learning design. Moreover, this paper presents an overview of what and…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific features of the articles on augmented reality (AR) published in the journals of education indexed in the SSCI database between 2012 and 2017. In this context, the articles were examined in terms of their years of publication, number of authors, countries, educational disciplines/fields,…

The goal of this research was to discover and compare themes of the top blended learning (BL) articles from seven different regions of the world. Top cited articles in BL from these regions show strong similarities in research processes, practice, terminology, and focus. Small differences are apparent among the regions and top articles in general,…
