Trends of high impact educational research in scientific disciplines
Abstract
Abstract Educational research in scientific disciplines has gained increasing importance as a source of scholarly support for evidence-based improvements in science teaching and learning. Trends in this area can be examined not only through individual publications on specific topics over time, but also through the broader development of science-based education journals. To capture these trends, this study examines the inclusion and impact of education-focused journals indexed in Clarivate’s Science Citation Index Expanded over time. The findings suggest that the nature and scope of educational scholarship in scientific disciplines have gradually evolved, characterized by the increasing visibility and impact of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in STEM and STEMM education.
