Teachers' education in articles of the "Ciência & Educação" journal (1998-2014): a scientometric review

Abstract:

Teachers' Education appears frequently in discussions in the field of Science Education. We have found several papers in events, books and journals that corroborate the breadth and relevance of this subject in the area. However, there is still a lack that could expose contributive and complementary indicators on the status of knowledge of these papers. In order to fill part of this gap, we conducted a survey that aimed to draw a scientometric profile of the articles about teacher education, published in the journal "Ciência & Educação". From 579 articles published from 1998 to 2014, we analyzed 345 articles with keywords related to teacher education. We draw special attention to authorship indicators, production, content, and bibliography. The results expose a quantitative panorama, which expands our knowledge of this field of study in the area of Brazilian Science Education.
