ARDUINO IN TEACHING LABS: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Öz
Arduino microprocessors are increasingly used in teaching laboratories as a technology that attracts attention with its superior features and ease of use. In this study, it is aimed to carry out a bibliometric analysis to examine the studies using Arduino in teaching laboratories and to assist researchers by predicting the direction of future studies.
This study used bibliometric and content analysis. By scanning the WoS and Scopus databases 404 studies were reached and according to various exclusion criteria 215 of them were included in this study. Biblioshiny software was used for analysis, and the studies were also examined with content analysis based on technology-based learning. It is found that Arduino in Teaching Lab. (ATL) research has a high growth rate and the publications in this field mostly have two or more authors, the country with the most publications is the USA. In the studies, it was seen that the majority of the studies aimed at developing the laboratory setups/devices/equipment available on the market at a lower cost, and the majority of studies were carried out in the engineering laboratory with university students. It can be concluded that the use of Arduino in science laboratories is important both in terms of eliminating concerns about laboratory costs and creating opportunities in the learning process. This study focuses on the use of technologies like Arduino in education. The findings presented in this study can be considered as guiding principles for future research.
