توجهات بحوث التربية العلمية في المجلات العالمية خلال الفترة (2019-2023)
The study aimed to investigate the state of science education research in international journals, with the objective of understanding the nature of such research and its areas of interest. The study utilized a descriptive approach through content analysis. The research sample consisted of 165 published studies from two international journals, namely the Journal of Science Education and Technology and Research in science education, during the period from 2019 to 2023. These studies were analyzed across four dimensions: research methodology, scientific domains, research instruments, and research methods. The results revealed that the descriptive approach was the most commonly used methodology. The most prevalent scientific domains were educational technology, followed by teachers, STEM projects, and designs. Survey instruments were the most frequently used, followed by observations. Quantitative methods were the predominant research methods employed. The study provided recommendations, including encouraging researchers in the field of science education to address research topics that lack sufficient information, such as communication during learning, graphical representations in education, and student skills.
