1 st Decade of E-learning in Mathematics Education: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Mathematics education has increasingly focused on e-learning in the past ten years. We conducted a bibliometric analysis to examine the trends, research focus, and advancement in the utilization of e-learning in mathematics education from 2013 to 2023. The objective of this study to provide important assets for the field and offer novel insights to academics who will be investigating this subject. The data obtained from the Scopus database was collected and analyzed. It was subsequently stored in two formats, CSV and RIS, and processed using VOS viewer, Publish or Perish, and Microsoft Excel Software. We conducted an analysis to determine the patterns of publication and citation, the geographic distribution and collaboration between countries, as well as the originality and specific areas of focus in research. The analysis reveals a consistent annual growth in publication related to e-learning in mathematics education. Ini 2020, the number of citations reached 569, surpassing the number of publications in prior years. The research has been organized into five primary areas focus: 1) Environment and students; 2) Education and teaching; 3) Curriculum and technology; 4) STEM and mathematics education. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the progression of e-learning in the fiels of mathematics education, along with potential avenues for further in investigation a advancement.
