The purpose of this scoping review is to synthesize knowledge of gamified online course design processes and practices extracted from the peer-reviewed research literature. The scoping review followed a systematic process involving five main stages: (a) identifying research questions, (b) identifying relevant studies, (c) study selection, (d)…

Background/purpose: Recent developments in information and communication technology have opened up many new opportunities in various research fields, including religious studies (Burton, 2020). One of the most notable innovations was integrating artificial intelligence and deep learning in religious studies, including Quranic education and…

This study analyzes information accumulated in WoS databases on special education and technology with bibliometric methods. Bibliometric analyses, seen as an alternative to systematic literature reviews, meta-analysis, and meta-synthesis, contribute to determining essential actors in the field by analyzing the publication and citation trends, the…

Educational research is reflective of the nature and structure of national and regional education systems and their historical evolution. Educational technology research, as an area within educational research, reflects this case particularly prominently. Although individual countries and regions have varying research traditions, the publication…

The aim of this study is to reveal the bibliometric profile of articles published in the field of science education and technology. In the study, in which descriptive research model was used, bibliometric analysis method was preferred in order to reveal and examine the research trends of scientific publications on science education and technology.…

Educational technology (EdTech) possesses comprehensive content and an accumulation of topics requiring extensive analyses for monitoring its development over time. Conducting comprehensive analyses facilitates acquiring a plural perspective instead of subjective experiences and facilitates focusing on the places where deficiencies occur in the…

The concept of ubiquitous learning has emerged as a pedagogical approach in response to the advancements made in mobile, wireless communication, and sensing technologies. The domain of ubiquitous learning is distinguished by swift progression, thereby presenting a difficulty in maintaining current knowledge of its developments. The implementation…

Bibliometric mapping is widely used in educational technology research to visualize research field development (e.g. the current status and trend). However, there has been limited research examining the present state, challenges, and potential applications of bibliometric mapping techniques in the field of educational technology. In an effort to…

This study employs bibliometric methods to analyse impactful and emerging research topics in the digital education ecosystem, using Scopus data from 2019 to 2023. It introduces a new Impact Factor (IF) that considers productivity, growth rate, core papers, and citations to identify key research fronts. The top five areas identified were artificial…

A bibliometric analysis of 309 publications related to Education 4.0 published in both Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases has been conducted to analyze the development of this research field since the first articles published in 2017. Although being an emerging field, the number of publications increased quickly. Scholars from developing…

This study sheds light on the existing void regarding wartime and online education in Africa. Over three-quarters of African nations have experienced various forms of conflict over the past three decades, resulting in a significant loss of life and immense suffering for African citizens striving for education. The African continent has witnessed…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the state of mobile game-based learning in the field of cultural heritage education. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric methodology based on scientific mapping and an analysis of co-words was used. The scientific production on this field of study indexed in Scopus was analyzed. The analysis…

This study provides a bibliometric analysis of 702 documents related to digital teaching and learning conducted by scholars from Southeast Asia (SEA) countries. The number of publications was limited before 2018, but rocketed during the 2019-2023 period. Based on scientific production of six most productive SEA countries, it is possible to…

Thanks to digital technology, methods for finding and analysing research literature have become dramatically more powerful over the last decades. Also, new bibliometric techniques have been developed and applied to the results of such literature search queries. The application of these bibliometric tools to mathematics education research, however,…

Educational artificial intelligence (EAI) means an integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and educational science that is going to serve as an authoritative element of the education system in the future. However, limited bibliographic analysis study have been carried out with the purpose of conceptualising the advancements in this field of…
