YouTube, Multimedia learning, Bibliometric analysis, Educational technologiesAbstract
This article investigates the use of YouTube as an educational tool through bibliometric analysis. Using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the research identified and screened 1,660 publications on the topic, extracted from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, covering the period from 2005 to 2024. The analysis was carried out using the RStudio software together with the Bibliometrix library and revealed a significant growth in scientific production related to the intersection between YouTube and education, highlighting keywords such as “learning”, “students” and “videos”. In addition, collaborations between authors and institutions were identified, as well as the evolution of research themes over time. The results show that YouTube maintains a central and growing position as an educational resource, reflecting the maturation of research in the area, and provides insights for educators and researchers into the potential of YouTube in the educational context, allowing for a better understanding of trends and collaborations in the use of videos as pedagogical tools.References
