BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH ON 21st CENTURY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS
Öz
Education systems continuously evolve, resulting in significant changes in how learning environments are designed and perceived. Previous studies demonstrate that physical space directly influences student achievement; however, existing learning environments largely fail to meet the expectations of twenty-first-century education. This article examines the requirements of contemporary learning environments through a bibliometric analysis based on publications indexed in the Web of Science database. A search conducted on June 19, 2025, identified 2213 relevant studies. The metadata was analysed using Biblioshiny to examine frequently used authors’ keywords, temporal trends, and conceptual relationships through co-occurrence networks. Thematic mapping and trend topic analyses reveal core themes, emerging concepts, and active research areas related to twenty-first-century learning spaces. The aim of this study is to examine educational spaces from an architectural perspective and to bridge the gap between these fields. As a result of this examination, it has been observed that learning spaces are no longer considered merely “physical spaces”, but rather as a system component that shapes the learning experience. The findings suggest that existing learning environments need to be updated to meet the evolving demands of contemporary learners. Additionally, the results highlight the importance of expanding academic research, strengthening global collaboration, and prioritizing spatial innovation to enhance learning experiences and better prepare students for future challenges.
