Abstract

In the current era of educational informatization, the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) into special education has witnessed significant growth. Utilizing the expansive Scopus database and leveraging the Bibliometrix tool, this study systematically examines 130 scholarly documents within the domain of special education informatization, spanning the years from 2006 to 2021. Complementing a quantitative analysis, the study conducts a qualitative examination of 10 pivotal and widely cited works in the field. The research findings unveil a primary focus on the diverse application of ICT in special education, particularly its effectiveness in the diagnosis and intervention for various categories of special needs. Noteworthy concentrations of research output are identified, with a clear emphasis on publications in prestigious journals such as the International Journal of Emerging Technologies In Learning, Revista Brasileira De Educacao Especial, and Technology & Disability. Furthermore, the examination brings to light the dominance of keywords like "special education" and "information technology" in the literature, underscoring their pivotal role and persistent significance in the discourse. The consistent recurrence of these terms highlights their critical influence in shaping the landscape of special education informatization research. In conclusion, this comprehensive bibliometric analysis provides valuable insights into the trajectory of special education informatization research, elucidating key thematic areas and prominent journals. As the educational landscape continues to evolve, a nuanced understanding of the dynamics of ICT integration in special education becomes imperative for educators, policymakers, and researchers. This study serves as a foundational resource for further exploration and advancement in the ever-evolving field of special education.
