Abstract

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in education presents numerous opportunities and challenges. However, there remains a lack of deep understanding regarding the research landscape, making it challenging for educators, researchers, and policymakers to comprehend AI's potential in learning environments. This scientometric analysis maps the development and trends in AI research in education over the past four decades by identifying key contributors, influential publications, and significant areas of focus. By analyzing citation and publication data, the study highlights the structure of the field through citation analysis and co-authorship networks. Findings indicate a rise in AI-related research, with notable journals such as Education and Information Technologies and Computers and Education, and influential researchers including Hwang and Chen. The study highlights vigorous research activity from Asian institutions, particularly in China and Hong Kong. Focus areas include AI in language learning, adaptive learning, and learner-centered tools.
