Abstract

Günümüzde sosyal medya araçları, öğrenme süreçlerinde giderek daha fazla rol almaktadır. Özellikle görsel ve etkileşimli bir araç olan Instagram, öğrenmeyi destekleyen araçlardan biri olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Thus, assessing the state of instagram studies in educational research today helps to imagine the future. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada, eğitimde Instagram kullanımı üzerine yayınlanan çalışmalar bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanında 2015-2024 yılları arasında yayınlanan 836 akademik çalışma analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, bu alanda yapılan araştırmaların özellikle 2020 yılından itibaren hızla arttığını göstermektedir. Araştırmaların, Instagram’ın tıp eğitimi ve dil öğrenimi gibi eğitimlerde kullanımının yanı sıra yükseköğretimde de kullanımına yöneldiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca eğitimde Instagram kullanımına yönelik yayınlanan makalelerde ABD, açık ara farkla en fazla yayına sahip ülke olarak dikkat çekerken bu ülkeyi İspanya ve İngiltere takip etmiştir. Bu bulguların yanı sıra yayınlanan makalelerin sıklığı bakımından “Cureus Journal of Medical Science” dergi olarak öne çıkarken kurum bakımında “University of Barcelona” öne çıkmaktadır. Diğer taraftan eğitimde Instagram kullanımına yönelik makale yayınlayan yazarlardan en çok yayın yapan yazar olarak “Li JW” öne çıkmasına rağmen en çok atıf alan ve geniş işbirliği ile merkezi konumda yer alan yazar olarak “Elizabeth R. Lyden” öne çıkmaktadır. Araştırma bulguları literatür bağlamında değerlendirilerek bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Year 2025, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 116 - 126
https://doi.org/10.36222/ejt.1693364

Abstract

Today, social media tools are increasingly playing a role in learning processes. Instagram, which is a visual and interactive tool in particular, stands out as one of the tools that support learning. Thus, assessing the state of Instagram studies in educational research today helps to imagine the future. Therefore, in this study, studies published on the use of Instagram in education were examined using the bibliometric analysis method. In the study, 836 academic studies published between 2015-2024 in the Web of Science (WoS) database were analyzed. The findings obtained show that research in this field has increased rapidly, especially since 2020. It has been determined that studies are focused on the use of Instagram in higher education as well as in education such as medical education and language learning. In addition, the USA stands out as the country with the most publications in articles published on the use of Instagram in education, followed by Spain and the UK. In addition to these findings, the “Cureus Journal of Medical Science” stands out as a journal in terms of the frequency of published articles, while the “University of Barcelona” stands out in terms of institutions. On the other hand, although “Li JW” stands out as the most published author among the authors who published articles on the use of Instagram in education, “Elizabeth R. Lyden” stands out as the most cited author and the author who is in a central position with extensive collaboration. The research findings were evaluated in the context of the literature and some suggestions were made.
