Abstract

This research seeks to map several significant aspects in moral education bibliography. The mapping of moral education research that covers the country of contributors, collaborating authors, terms used in article titles and abstracts is needed to direct future research. The aim of this article is at classifying and analyzing moral education studies published in reputable international journals during 2010-2019 through a bibliometric study. This study uses the systematic and structured mind mapping method. There are four stages of the study: (1) searching for articles using the Publish or Perish application from the Scopus database, (2) filtering out articles to be included in bibliometric analysis, (3) checking and completing article metadata, and (4) conducting bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer application. The results of the analysis were: (1) the countries of authors who publish moral education articles. Many countries have contributed in journal publications and the largest contributor is the United States. Analysis results showed that author collaboration did not occur often in moral education articles. (3) The most widely used terms in moral education article titles. The most used term is ‘moral education'. (4) The most widely used abstract terms in moral education articles. The most used term in moral education articles is ‘moral education'. This study concluded that the research on modal education has been spread in many countries, although the collaboration between institutions or the state is still lacking. Collaboration becomes an opportunity.

Highlights

In the first part of the paper, entitled Moral Education (2010-2019): A Bibliometric Study (Part 1), the authors have analyzed a moral education bibliography from aspects of publication trends, the numbers of contributed citations, journals and publishers, and the most used author keywords
We complete the study of moral education from bibliometric analysis to provide a more comprehensive analysis and information with a focus on four other aspects, including the most contributive analysis based on the countries, author collaboration, the most used terms in the title, and the most used terms in abstracts
When the addresses of the authors listed in moral education articles were extracted in the form of coordinates via the GPS generator, it can be identified that the authors of moral education articles were spread in various countries and continents

Summary

Introduction

In the first part of the paper, entitled Moral Education (2010-2019): A Bibliometric Study (Part 1), the authors have analyzed a moral education bibliography from aspects of publication trends, the numbers of contributed citations, journals and publishers, and the most used author keywords. There are several studies, which revealed that most of these traditional efforts did not have a significant effect on attitudes and behaviors on the effects of widely recognized best teaching practices that emphasize classroom community, intellectual autonomy of students, and high-level academic teaching [3,4,5].The research on moral and social development has supported that, in addition to obtaining social standards or noble habits, moral education should consider the construction of moral and social judgments of students [6,7,8,9,10] This indicates that moral concern for justice and human welfare has been formed from an early age to focus on moral education [11,12,13,14,15,16]. Moral education varied approaches to prepare students in dealing with moral complexity by considering personal behavior and efforts to create a fair and compassionate community [20,21,22]
