Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to examine the general trends of digital storytelling studies in the field of education through bibliometric maps. Additionally, the objectives of this research include expanding the scope of the data by systematically examining the most cited studies, conducting in-depth analyses of related studies, and comparing the obtained data. In the related study, multiple research methods were used. Accordingly, bibliometric analysis and systematic review methods were used together in this study. Within the scope of bibliometric analysis, 436 studies (articles and paper presentation)) published in English in the field of education in the WoS database were analyzed with the VOSviewer application. Then, the twenty documents with the highest number of citations were identified using the same application, and the relevant documents were included in the systematic review. Thus, combining the data obtained from both methods is considered very important in terms of expanding the scope of the research, examining the relevant subject in more depth, and comparing and confirming the data obtained. In this context, analyses were conducted on 436 documents using VOSviewer software to identify the most frequently used keywords, the most publishing countries, universities, journals, and the most cited documents and authors. In addition, the publication years of 436 studies selected in line with certain criteria were determined through the WoS database. Furthermore, the number of authors of the studies included in the systematic review was coded, and the first authors were identified. The WoS profiles of these authors were analyzed in terms of the number of digital storytelling studies, their h-index, and their authorship positions. The data obtained from these two stages are presented by comparing them.

Eğitim Alanındaki Dijital Öyküleme Araştırmaları: Bibliyometrik ve Sistematik Analiz

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, eğitim alanında gerçekleştirilen dijital öyküleme çalışmalarının genel eğilimlerini bibliyometrik haritalar aracılığıyla incelemektir. Bunun yanı sıra, en fazla atıf alan çalışmaları sistematik bir şekilde inceleyerek verilerin kapsamını genişletmek, ilgili araştırmaları derinlemesine incelemek ve elde edilen verileri karşılaştırmak da bu araştırmanın hedefleri arasında yer almaktadır. İlgili çalışmada çoklu araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda araştırmada, bibliyometrik analiz ve sistematik inceleme yöntemlerinden birlikte yararlanılmıştır. Bibliyometrik analiz kapsamında WoS veri tabanında eğitim alanında İngilizce olarak yayınlanmış 436 araştırma (makale ve bildiri) VOSviewer uygulamasıyla analiz edilmiştir. Ardından aynı uygulama kullanılarak en fazla atıf alan yirmi doküman belirlenmiş ve ilgili dokümanlar sistematik incelemeye dâhil edilmiştir. Böylece her iki yöntemden elde edilen verilerin birleştirilmesi araştırmanın kapsamını genişletmek, ilgili konuyu daha derinlemesine incelenmek ve elde edilen verileri karşılaştırarak teyit etmek açısından oldukça önemli görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, 436 doküman üzerinden VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılarak ilgili araştırmalarda en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimelerin, en fazla yayın yapan ülkelerin, üniversitelerin, dergilerin, yazarların, en fazla atıf alan dokümanların ve yazarların belirlenmesi için analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte belirli ölçütler doğrultusunda seçilen 436 araştırmanın yayın yılları WoS veri tabanı aracılığıyla tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sistematik incelemeye dâhil edilen araştırmaların yazar sayıları kodlanmış ve ilk yazarları belirlenmiştir. Bu yazarların WoS profilleri dijital öyküleme araştırmalarının sayısı, h-indeksleri ve yazarlık pozisyonları açısından incelenmiştir. Bahsi geçen iki aşamadan elde edilen veriler kendi aralarında karşılaştırılarak sunulmuştur.
