Abstract

Bilingual and multilingual education have certainly gained popularity in the past decades since societies are increasingly becoming more aware of the need to welcome additional languages into the school curricula in order to equip citizens with a functional use of several languages. However, research about the extent to which bilingual practices are present at preschool education has not been fully exploited, mainly because this is a non-obligatory educational stage in most countries, and the wide variety of educational contexts in which practices can take place. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of early bilingual education, using as a reference the publications in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1988 to 2022. For this purpose, 1011 publications were analysed by applying advanced bibliometric techniques in SciMAT bibliometric analysis software. This research is hoped to serve as a framework to identify existing research lines and outline new ones, establishing synergetic relationships that were not visible without the maps generated herein.
La enseñanza bilingüe y multilingüe han ganado en popularidad en las últimas décadas, ya que las sociedades son cada vez más conscientes de la necesidad de introducir lenguas adicionales en los currículums con el objetivo de que los ciudadanos puedan tener un uso funcional de distintas lenguas. Sin embargo, la investigación en relación con la presencia de las prácticas bilingües en educación infantil apenas ha sido desarrollada, principalmente debido a la no obligatoriedad de este nivel educativo en la mayor parte de los países, así como a la enorme variedad de distintos contextos donde se desarrolla. Este estudio pretende llevar a cabo un análisis bibliométrico de la educación bilingüe temprana utilizando como referencia las publicaciones en Web of Science Core Collection de 1998 a 2022. A tal efecto, 1011 publicaciones fueron analizadas aplicando técnicas bibliométricas avanzadas utilizando el análisis bibliométrico SciMAT. Se espera que esta investigación sirva como marco para identificar líneas de investigación existentes y nuevas, estableciendo relaciones sinérgicas que no serían visibles sin el mapeado generado en el artículo.
