Abstract
High-quality research on family education has increased significantly over the past decade, with 1,040 documents recorded in Scopus. This study aims to analyze research trends, identify key terms, highlight the most active journals, examine author collaboration and citation networks, determine author affiliations and funding sources, map contributions by country, and explore related scientific fields. Data were collected from Scopus.com and analyzed using VOSViewer. The results show a positive trend with steady annual growth. Family education is closely linked to early childhood education, parenting, early intervention, and overall quality of life. Frontiers in Psychology is the most active journal in its field. Landier, W., is the most influential author. The top contributing institutions include Harvard Medical School and the University of Washington. Primary funding sources are the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The United States leads in publication output, followed by China and Canada. Most articles are from the fields of medicine and social sciences. These findings highlight family education as a growing multidisciplinary field with wide-ranging impacts. The results guide policymakers in creating targeted parental training on digital literacy and emotional regulation, while education practitioners can apply family-centered interventions to enhance parental involvement in early learning.
