A Review of the Research Studies in Science Education Published in the Proceedings of the ESERA Conferences (2009-2011-2013)

Abstract

One of the platforms to communicate the international studies in science education is the conferences held by the European Science Education Research Association (ESERA). The sample of the study includes a total of 903 presentations published in the conference proceedings of the ESERA conferences held in the years of 2009, 2011 and 2013. In the study the technique of document analysis which is part of qualitative research was employed. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics, more specifically using categorial analysis and frequency analysis. In the analysis the following points were revealed: the host countries, the number of presentations, study topics and changes in the study topics over time, the country of origin of studies, the number researcher per presentation, and the study topics by country of origin. It is significant to reveal study trends in science education in order to have a complete picture of the current status of research in science education. Such an insight is also important for the future studies in science education.
