摘      要：This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on nanotechnology in education utilizing data from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. This analysis provides a detailed overview of the field s structure and development by examining trends in authorship, publication, keyword usage, journal impact, country contributions, and citation metrics. The findings reveal significant variability in journal productivity and impact, with the Journal of Chemical Education standing out as a dominant contributor. Keyword co-occurrence and centrality measures highlight the emphasis on practical, experiential learning and the field s interdisciplinary nature. Country-level analysis underscores the central role of the United States, with substantial contributions from European and emerging Asian countries. The insights derived from this analysis suggest strategic directions for enhancing nanotechnology education programs including integrating hands-on learning, early education, and interdisciplinary collaborations. This study offers valuable guidance for researchers, educators, and policy makers who aim to advance the field of nanotechnology education.
