Abstract

This study aims to reveal online education research trends in science education through content analysis and to examine the bibliometric structure of articles on online education in science education. A total of 68 articles were accessed from the Web of Science database for bibliometric mapping analysis, and all articles published without a year limit were included for content analysis. The data set was analyzed in the Web of Science database and the VOS viewer program. Science education, e-learning, distance learning, and online education were found to be the most used keywords in 71 publications produced between 1992 and 2022. Among these keywords, it stands out that e-learning is used in more recent publications. When the distribution of articles by year is examined, it is seen that there was an increase in publications according to the years, but the peak is in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The most cited journals were Computers & Education, Science Education, Journal of Research in Science Teaching, and International Journal of Science Education.

Keywords

Science Education, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Bibliographic Analysis, VOS Viewer.
