Abstract
Curriculum and pedagogy are the fundamental dimensions of any education system. Timely evaluation of these aspects is essential for active student participation and achieving quality outcomes in education. The present bibliometric study examines the research trends and productivity in curriculum and pedagogical practices at the school level based on published articles from 2015 to 2024. Initially, we identified 1,560 studies from the Scopus database using selected search string. Finally, we selected 775 articles for analysis after filtering by articles, book chapters, and conference papers published in English. Utilizing VOS viewer software, we observed a significant upward trend in publications from 2020 to 2024. Most studies were in social sciences, and the USA is the dominant contributor, followed by the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia, and India. Volman, M. is the most prolific author and the most prominent theme based on the author’s keywords is “Critical Approaches to Inclusive Curriculum and Pedagogy in Secondary Education”. This study provides valuable insight into the research landscape of curriculum and pedagogical practices at the school level. The study suggests a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of relevant studies for improved generalization.
