Abstract

The study examines STEM education through a bibliometric analysis of 6008 publications. Using the Web of Science database, it identifies trends and key players in the field. The findings reveal a steady increase in STEM education publications since 2011, with the United States leading in both publications and citations. Purdue University stood out as the institution with the most publications, while the University of Washington was the most cited institution. Charles Henderson stood out as the most prolific author, while Scott Freeman was the most cited author. Cbe-Life Sciences Education was the leading journal in terms of publication volume, while Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America was the most cited journal. The 10 most cited studies focus on productivity, achievement and gender ratios in STEM education, while the most recent studies focus on productivity, curriculum and improvement. In addition, studies on Islam and STEM education examine the relationship between them, while religiously-neutral studies examine the connection between STEM education and various religions.
