Abstract

The present study investigated the research trends in knowledge building area during the past 20 years. More specifically, the divergence in knowledge building was identified using scientometrics method. The features observed in the articles concerning knowledge building in education and non-education were identified in terms of keywords, cluster themes, and journals. In addition, the frequently cited references were analyzed in order to determine which studies played a leading role in the interaction network and why. Findings revealed that the knowledge building approach in education tended to be studied in instructional education and the learning sciences; however, it was likely to appear in broader areas in non-education, including business and economics, public administration, humans and technology, and social work. In addition, several researchers and co-cited papers were influential in education and non-education fields. This study provides the broader perspectives of the various domains under knowledge building by examining the previous studies.
