MORESI, Eduardo Amadeu Dutra  and  PINHO, Isabel. BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.238-256. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v24i1.8666120.

The emergence of the new coronavirus and the declaration of the pandemic by the World Health Organization forced many governments in several countries to determine that institutions interrupt classroom teaching, demanding that students and teachers switch, almost overnight, to virtual education. Faced with this totally new and unexpected scenario, profound changes took place in educational environments. The objective of this paper is to identify the research subject in education during the pandemic, based on bibliographic research in the Web of Science database and the network analyses of keyword co-occurrence and co-citation of cited references. The research methodology followed the following steps: research design with the definition of the objective and the search expression; obtaining the networks of keyword co-occurrence and co-citation of cited references; calculation of network analysis metrics – average degree, modularity classes and eigenvector centrality; identification of keywords and co-cited references with the greatest eigenvector centralities. The bibliographical research revealed that there was a mobilization of the scientific community to investigate and publish their research results on the subject. The co-occurrence and co-citation networks showed a predominance in the use of information and communication technology to support pedagogical activities, enabling the continuity in a virtual environment.

Keywords : Covid-19; Educational research; Bibliometric; Document networks analysis.
