Harnessing the Power of Technology in Statistics Education: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Study

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric mapping of research articles on technology in statistics education. The articles under analysis are those published in English-language journals and indexed in the Scopus database. VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software were employed in the data analysis. The search yielded 59 relevant articles published since 1985, with a 1.84% annual growth rate, an average of 11.02 citations per document, and an average document age of 13.7 years. The publications involved 135 authors from 31 countries, with an average of 2.44 co-authors per document. The research findings revealed the formation of five clusters through networking visualization. Based on the thematic map using Bibliometrix, we identified that "higher education" and "R" are themes that have shown significant development and are crucial for shaping the technology field in statistics education. This bibliometric analysis provides ideas and references for selecting current, potential, and evolving research themes related to technology in statistics education.
