Research on Ethnoscience in Science Education: An Analysis of the Literature
Abstract
We examined 231 papers from the Scopus database that were written about ethnoscience in science education and were published between 1967 and 2023. This article aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric evaluation of the ethnoscience literature in science education research. The characteristics of this study were organized, categorized, and visualized using VOSviewer software based on the study’s title, author, country of origin, and institutional affiliation of the author. Overall, this assessment provides a solid foundation for future studies on ethnoscience in science education research.
Keywords: Ethnoscience, science education, an analysis of the literature
