Abstract

As its first objective, this article carries out a bibliometric analysis aimed at serving as a guide on how to conduct bibliometrics using Biblioshiny, an interface of the Bibliometrix statistical software. To achieve this, a search has been used as an example, detailing the methodology, procedures, and strategies employed to address research questions and, as a secondary objective, to understand which works jointly develop Computational Thinking, Modelling, and Inquiry in the field of sciences. By utilizing quantitative statistical methods for data visualization, the intention is to identify the most relevant authors and journals, along with their impact indices, as well as the main thematic areas and their temporal evolution, in order to gain insights into what is being studied and how in this field. The results indicate that modelling is one of the salient themes among the 31 selected articles, accomplished through research, construction, and design of simulations in digital environments using block-based programming.

Keywords: bibliometrics; bibliometrix; modelling; computational thinking; inquiry; science education learning.
