AB  -                    Publication and Cooperation Trends in                   K-12 Engineering Education ResearchAbstractThis research provides a systematic, organized overview of K-12 engineeringeducation research (EER) between 1980 and 2010 through analyzing the bibliometricinformation from the Web of Science® (WoS) database. It defined K-12 engineeringeducation research (EER), traced the trends in EER, and conducted a social networkanalysis on EER researchers by building and analyzing a database of EERpublications. A manually generated list of words relevant in K-12 ENE was used tocompile a sub-database consisting of bibliometric information from scholarly journalstaken from the Web of Science® (WoS) database created by the Institute for P-12Engineering Research and Learning (INSPIRE) staff at Purdue University. Thesekeywords were used to evaluate the trends of contribution in EER by year. A socialnetwork analysis was also done to analyze authors’ productivity and corporationswithin the EER network.The major results are as follows: (1) K-12 EER has just begun to bud in the last 10years and has developed to cover a greater number and variety of keywords in themore recent years, which indicates how the field has reached a higher level ofacademic standard; (2) ENE epistemologies and ENE learning mechanisms have beenthe most widely researched areas; (3) the classification and demographic analysesshow that most researchers have an interest in high school ENE while more attentionneeds to be paid to elementary ENE; (4) the social network analysis results revealedthere was a high trend of collaboration between authors in the K-12 EER community.Krause, S. and Roberts, C.were found to be the most collaborative authors— who alsohad a significant position as a bridge for communication for other authors in this field.The fact that the two most collaborative authors are connected is a good sign;however, more collaboration could greatly improve the field as a whole.
