Geometry Education and Technology: A 25-Year Journey Through Topic Modeling

Abstract

This study explores the evolution of research on the integration of technology in geometry education from 2000 to 2024 using Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling. Analyzing 1,229 articles, the study identifies 11 dominant topics, including "Reasoning and proof," "Teacher preparation and development," and "AR, STEM, and creativity." Findings reveal a significant increase in publications overtime, with a growing emphasis on immersive technologies like augmented reality and virtual reality, as well as affective dimensions such as motivation and creativity. While topics like "Reasoning and proof" and "Teacher preparation and development" remain central, emerging areas such as AR and STEM integration show the highest momentum. Conversely, traditional collaborative learning in virtual environments has seen a decline. The study highlights the dynamic interplay between technological advancements and pedagogical practices, offering insights into shifting priorities and future research directions in technology-enhanced geometry education.
