bibliometric analysis, learning videos, science educationAbstract
Introduction: Instructional videos play a vital role in science education because they make abstract concepts more understandable and engaging. However, few bibliometric studies have mapped their global research development, creating a gap in understanding trends, impact, and future directions. This study addresses that gap to highlight the importance of video-based learning as a transformative educational tool.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using 130 documents indexed in Scopus between 1971 and 2024. The articles were identified through Publish or Perish, filtered for relevance, and analyzed using VOSviewer. Data were examined across publication trends, affiliations, country contributions, author keywords, collaborations, citation impact, and emerging themes.
Results: Publications increased sharply after 2010, reflecting growing attention to technology-supported science education. The United States, Indonesia, and Australia were the leading contributors, with New York University and Stanford University as dominant institutions. Common keywords included teaching, education, and science learning. Collaboration networks showed strong links among authors such as Goldman and Pea. The most cited article (Derry et al., 2010; 734 citations) emphasized the methodological and ethical challenges of video research. Future potential areas include AI-driven personalization, gamification, VR/AR-based learning, teacher professional development, collaborative learning, and cross-country comparisons.
Conclusions: Instructional videos have become a critical component of science education, with significant contributions across countries and institutions. The findings underline their transformative impact on teaching and learning while identifying promising directions for future research. This study contributes to filling gaps in the literature and guiding scholars toward innovative, technology-integrated approaches to science education.
