Abstract
Over the last decade, we have seen a large amount of research performed on technology-enhanced learning. Within this area, the use of games and gamification in education has gained popularity over the years. In this work, the author aim to identify the main topics in these areas within the last 10 years. The researchers propose a new methodology to conduct text analytics-driven topic analysis following a bibliometrics and text analytics-driven approach. The authors collected all the metadata from 7815 papers in these areas over the last 10 years. The author used it to find the main topics across the papers and hidden relationships between author and papers. The analysis in this work has focused on three main objectives: 1) discover the main topics in games and gamification in education based on paper keywords and topic modeling; 2) discover the evolution of said topics over the last ten years of research; and 3) discover how papers and authors from different communities have interacted over the years from a network's perspective.
