economic education, trends in economic education, bibliometrics analysisAbstract
This study aims to systematically review the future of economic education and identify
the trends and implications for policy and practice. This study adopted bibliometric
analysis using VOSviewer software. The findings indicate that there has been a
substantial movement over the last two decades regarding the theme of economic
education. The top three countries—United States, Germany, and Indonesia contribute to
this theme, whilst Universitas Negeri Malang, the University of Nebraska, and the
University of Richmond are the three highest organizations that contributed to this scope
during this period. The visualization from VOSviewer illustrates that the theme of
economic education is linked with various dimensions. The frequency occurrence of this
theme is often associated with financial literacy, pedagogy, pluralism, higher education,
active learning, financial education, home economics education, teaching economics,
economic literacy, heterodox economics, and entrepreneurship. The findings provide
implications for concerning studies in this theme with a focus in shaping graduate
students.
