https://doi.org/10.37233/trsped.obr.1795775

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the studies on mathematics education for gifted students with a bibliometric approach. The data of the study consisted of 675 documents on mathematics education in gifted students that were searched in the Scopus database. The documents were analyzed within the framework of eighteen research questions using the Bibliometrix R-package program "Biblioshiny". The publications on mathematics education for gifted students were analyzed in terms of number of scientific publications, number of citations, journal-author-topic relationships, sources, authors, institutions, distribution according to responsible author countries, cited countries, keywords, strategic map of themes, conceptual map of key concepts, and collaboration network between authors. In the study, the main research themes in the field of mathematics education were identified, and conceptual connections were made to be revealed. As a result of the analysis, "University of Haifa" made the highest contribution to mathematics education for gifted students with 675 documents between 1980 and 2024. The most cited journals in the related fields are "ZDM- Mathematics Education, Educational Studies in Mathematics" and "Mathematical Thinking and Learning". The most prolific author was by far Leikin Roza. As a result, the importance of research on improving mathematics education in gifted students and the need to increase it have become evident. It is thought that this research will make great contributions to the development of mathematics education for gifted students.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, üstün yetenekli öğrencilere yönelik matematik eğitimi üzerine yapılan çalışmaları bibliyometrik bir yaklaşımla analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri, Scopus veri tabanında taranan üstün yetenekli öğrencilere yönelik matematik eğitimi üzerine 675 dokümandan oluşmaktadır. Dokümanlar, Bibliometrix R paket programı "Biblioshiny" kullanılarak on sekiz araştırma sorusu çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. Üstün yetenekli öğrencilere yönelik matematik eğitimi üzerine yapılan yayınlar; bilimsel yayın sayısı, atıf sayısı, dergi-yazar-konu ilişkileri, kaynaklar, yazarlar, kurumlar, sorumlu yazar ülkelerine göre dağılım, atıf yapılan ülkeler, anahtar kelimeler, temaların stratejik haritası, anahtar kavramların kavramsal haritası ve yazarlar arası iş birliği ağı açısından analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, matematik eğitimi alanındaki ana araştırma temaları belirlenmiş ve kavramsal bağlantılar ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, 1980-2024 yılları arasında 675 makaleyle üstün yetenekli öğrenciler için matematik eğitimine en fazla katkıyı "Hayfa Üniversitesi" sağlamıştır. İlgili alanlarda en çok atıf alan dergiler "ZDM-Matematik Eğitimi, Matematikte Eğitim Çalışmaları" ve "Matematiksel Düşünme ve Öğrenme"dir. En üretken yazar ise açık ara Leikin Roza'dır. Sonuç olarak, üstün yetenekli öğrencilerde matematik eğitimini iyileştirmeye yönelik araştırmaların önemi ve bu eğitimin artırılması gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu araştırmanın üstün yetenekli öğrenciler için matematik eğitiminin gelişimine büyük katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
