  • The purpose of this study is to understand the trends and changes of the articles publishing the Journal of the Korean Association for Science Education(JKASE) in the past forty-four years. To this end, Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA) topic modeling analysis was performed on a total of 2,115 English abstracts of papers published in the JKASE from 1978 to 2021. As a result of LDA topic modeling analysis, a total of 23 topics were extracted, and each topic was presented with its related keywords and articles. Next, in order to examine how these topics have changed over time, we visualized the average weights of each topic for a 4-year cycle by using heatmaps. The topics that have risen or fallen were identified. The results of this study provide new insights into science education research in Korea in terms of revealing not only traditional research topics that have been consistently studied but also the topics that have changed in response to the development of educational philosophy or research methods, social or policy demands related to science education.
