Özet:

This study aims to make a bibliometric analysis in terms of the research trends, trendsetter institutions and staff in physics education departments in Turkey. The papers published by staff in physics education departments indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases between 2010 and 2020 were examined. 286 articles by 91 academic staff were included in the study. The information obtained from the databases was analysed descriptively. Paper statistics, statistics on preferred journals, statistics on institutions have been analysed. In addition, research trends are determined. As a result, it is concluded that the quantity of the researchers' papers is affected by the important social events in the country, and the quality by the academic promotion criteria. The proficiency of English and the publishing policies of the journals are influence in the preferences of the journal. Institutions that set research trends tend to focus more on misconception, learning difficulties and conceptual learning. These trends are in line with trends in the world in physics education.
