Research Trend on Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK): A Bibliometric Analysis

TPACK is a framework that serves as a guide for educators in utilizing technological advancements in learning activities. TPACK has now become a popular topic in both educational circles and research domains. Previous studies have examined the development of TPACK research through various methods, including literature reviews and bibliometric analyses. Research trends in this field have shown consistent growth up to 2023, highlighting sustained scholarly interest and the importance of conducting comprehensive and up-to-date studies to better understand the framework's nuances. This study utilized bibliometric analysis to review 1,634 English-language articles from the Scopus, covering TPACK research trends from 2006 to September 2024. It focused on keywords such as "TPACK," "TPACK framework," "technological pedagogical content knowledge," and "technological pedagogical and content knowledge." The analysis revealed a consistent annual increase in TPACK-related publications between 2006 and 2024, with an average growth rate of 30.13%. Additionally, the study identified the most prolific authors, leading journals, active countries, and influential institutions in TPACK research, along with the most frequently used keywords. These findings offer valuable insights for future researchers, helping them pinpoint key contributors, resources, and regions central to TPACK-related studies.
