The Impact of Digital Literacy on the Quality of Economics Education: A Bibliometric Analysis of Teachers and Students in the Digital Era

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of digital literacy on the quality of economics education through a bibliometrikc analysis of publications from 2015 to 2024, focusing on teachers and students in the digital era. Data were sourced from Scopus-indexed journals, identifying key research trends, influential authors, and the most highly cited publications. The analysis reveals a significant upward trajectory in research on digital literacy within economics education, with primary emphasis on e-learning, digital skills, teaching strategies, and socio-economic status. The most cited article is "The effects of ICT-based social media on adolescent students’ academic performance," published in the journal Computers and Education. Prominent researchers, such as Hu J. and Yu R., have played pivotal roles in advancing this body of literature. Research trends indicate an integration of digital literacy with modern teaching methodologies and the development of students' digital competencies to enhance economics education outcomes. Despite substantial progress, gaps remain in understanding the long-term implications of digital literacy on educational achievement in economics. This study offers valuable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers in designing effective digital literacy frameworks within economics education systems.
