Online Submission, Paper presented at the International Convention of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) (Las Vegas, NV, 2019)
This study presents a social network analysis of the keywords attached to articles published in the "Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education" ("TOJDE"), a prominent journal in the field of open and distance learning. The social network analysis applied was based on a data mining and analytics approach. A total of 1120 keywords from 784 selected articles constituted the sample of the study. The keyword analysis revealed that the articles published in the "TOJDE" largely focused on technology-related issues, suggesting that the issues related to educational technology are a popular research area. However, the analysis also found that there was an imbalance between educational technology-related topics and pedagogy-related topics, a critical issue that needs to be further considered.
