BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE DOCUMENT INDEX ON SCOPUS ABOUT TEACHER IN PRIMARY SCHOOL FROM 2012-2021

Abstract

The increased interest of the scientific community in the investigation of elementary school teachers is

reflected in the volume of material written on the subject. However, there is a paucity of thorough and systematic research that focuses on primary school teachers as key characters in promoting children's learning and development and school quality. The primary objective of this paper is to consolidate cutting- edge research on primary school teachers through bibliometric study articles published between 2012 and

2021, and to analyze and present the results from the perspective of growing trends in the field; productive and influential countries, institutions, governance patterns, and international cooperation. The results of the study indicate a gradual growth in research on elementary school teachers from 2012 to 2020, with the most recent five years showing the greatest increase. During this time period, a total of 1,424 scientific journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, books, and reviews were published and indexed by Scopus. Researchers showed a preference for articles as the mode of publication. Analyses were conducted on the top ten most productive and influential countries. A substantial number of institutions from both emerging and wealthy nations are compared (based on the quantity of papers and citation scores). On the basis of keywords derived from three factor studies, it was found that primary school, teacher, and primary school teacher had garnered significant interest as terms during the past decade
