Abstract

The rapid development of technology in society makes research in mathematics education relevant. However, their comprehensive analysis is complicated due to some factors (different scientific journals and publishers, many documents, etc.) The article aims to analyze the publication landscape to understand the current state of mathematics education, identify key trends, and formulate strategies for further development of this field. The research method was bibliometric analysis. The data for this study were obtained from the Web of Science core collection on December 3, 2024. The objects of analysis were the number of publications, authors, geographical and institutional distribution of publications, citation of publications, and keywords. We analyzed publications from 2020 to 2024 and used the VOS (visualization of similarities) methodology in the VOSviewer computer program. We obtained the following characteristics of the publication landscape: quantitative trends for articles, reviews, conference materials, the most active authors, the most cited publications, and the top 5 countries with the most significant number of such publications. We identified key areas of research in mathematics education based on keyword networks and predicted vectors for further development of mathematics education.
