AB  - This study aimed to investigate the research trends in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NST) Education through a bibliometric mapping analysis. With its focus on NST education and an analysis of a comprehensive number of studies, this study is expected to provide a guide for new studies, identify the trends in the field and compare the existing research on this topic. VOSviewer software was used to examine and visualize bibliometric networks between the research units. The bibliometric analysis included a total of 196 articles published between 2001 and 2021 in peer-reviewed journals covered by the Web of Science database. The results indicated that the most used keywords were nanotechnology, hands-on learning, upper-division undergraduate, graduate education, and laboratory instruction. The most-productive countries in NST education research were the United States, Israel, France, and Taiwan. The results provided a comprehensive review to understand the recent developments in NST education research.

N2  - Bu çalışmada, bibliyometrik haritalama analizi yoluyla nanobilim ve nanoteknoloji (NNT) eğitimi üzerine araştırmalardaki eğilimler ortaya konmuştur. Önemli sayıdaki makalenin analiz edildiği bu çalışma; yeni araştırmalar için bir rehber oluşturmayı, ilgili alandaki eğilimleri tanımlamayı ve mevcut araştırmaları kıyaslamayı hedeflemektedir. Bibliyomektik analiz için VOSviewer yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Web of Science veri tabanı kapsamındaki hakemli dergilerde 2001 ve 2021 yılları arasında yayımlanan toplam 196 makale bibliyometrik analize tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz sonuçları, incelenen makalelerde nanoteknoloji, aktif öğrenme, 3 ve 4. sınıf lisans öğrencileri, lisansüstü eğitim ve laboratuvar eğitimi kelimelerinin en sık tekrarlanan anahtar kelimeler olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İsrail, Fransa ve Tayvan’ın NNT eğitimi üzerine en çok yayın yapan ülkeler olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte çalışma, NNT eğitimi araştırmalarındaki son gelişmelerin ortaya konulması için kapsamlı bir inceleme de sağlamıştır.
