| Abstract: |
Background/purpose: In the ever-evolving landscape of education, student behavior and classroom management have always been subjects of concern for both scholars and academicians. Given the lack of in-depth summaries in the literature, the bibliometric analysis employed in the present study aims to conduct a detailed exploration of the literature. Thus, providing an overview of trends, patterns, and knowledge gaps in the domain. Materials/methods: A pool of 747 articles extracted from the Scopus database was analyzed using RStudio and VOSviewer software. Various bibliometric techniques, including production analysis, journal analysis, citation analysis, and influential author analysis, were conducted. Results: The findings of the study reveal that studies on student behavior and classroom management have increased significantly over time, especially in the past two decades. The significant contribution to literature originates from the developed Western countries. Additionally, terms such as classroom discipline, psychological aspect, and behavioral disorder are trending topics within the domain. Conclusion: The study presents a detailed, data-driven overview of the evolution and thematic focus of student behavior and classroom management work, which has not been explored adequately in the literature. The findings serve as a guide for educators, policymakers, and researchers, offering a roadmap for future research. |
