چکیده

هدف: نابرابری آموزشی یکی از چالش‌های اساسی جوامع مدرن است که تأثیرات عمیقی بر فرصت‌های یادگیری و توسعه اجتماعی دارد. این پژوهش با رویکرد علم‌سنجی به بررسی روند تولیدات علمی، نشریات برتر، پژوهشگران پرکار، همکاری‌های بین‌المللی و روند موضوعی پژوهش‌های نابرابری آموزشی می‌پردازد.
روش‌شناسی: این مطالعه از روش کتاب‌سنجی و تحلیل شبکه استفاده کرده است. داده‌های مربوط به مقالات علمی حوزه نابرابری آموزشی از پایگاه‌های داده معتبر استخراج و از ابزارهای تحلیل هم‌واژگانی و همکاری علمی برای تحلیل ساختار پژوهش‌های این حوزه استفاده شده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که تعداد مقالات منتشر شده در حوزه نابرابری آموزشی به‌طور مداوم افزایش یافته است. نشریات معتبر مانند British Journal of Sociology of Education  و PLOS ONE بیشترین تأثیر را در این زمینه دارند. پژوهشگران کشورهای اروپایی و آمریکای شمالی بیشترین میزان تولید و همکاری علمی را داشته‌اند. تحلیل موضوعی نشان داد که نابرابری اقتصادی، نابرابری دیجیتال و عدالت اجتماعی از موضوعات پررنگ این حوزه هستند.
نتیجه‌گیری و پیشنهادها:  نتایج پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که توجه به سیاست‌های آموزشی عادلانه و توسعه فناوری‌های آموزشی برای کاهش شکاف دیجیتال از اهمیت بالایی برخوردار است. پیشنهاد می‌شود که مطالعات آینده بر بررسی تأثیر سیاست‌های کلان آموزشی بر کاهش نابرابری تمرکز کنند.
نوآوری و اصالت:  این مطالعه با بهره‌گیری از روش‌های کتاب‌سنجی و تحلیل شبکه، تصویری جامع از روند پژوهش‌های نابرابری آموزشی ارائه می‌دهد و به سیاست‌گذاران و محققان در تدوین راهبردهای مؤثر کمک می‌کند.

چکیده [English]

Aim: Educational inequality is one of the fundamental challenges of modern societies, significantly impacting learning opportunities and social development. This study employs a bibliometric approach to examine the trends in scientific production, leading journals, prolific researchers, international collaborations, and thematic developments in educational inequality research.
Methodology: This study utilizes bibliometric analysis and network analysis methods. Data related to scientific articles on educational inequality were extracted from reputable databases, and co-word analysis and scientific collaboration tools were employed to analyze the research structure in this field.
Results: The results indicate a continuous increase in the number of published articles on educational inequality. Leading journals such as British Journal of Sociology of Education and PLOS ONE have had the greatest impact in this field. Researchers from European and North American countries have the highest levels of scientific production and collaboration. Thematic analysis revealed that economic inequality, digital divide, and social justice are dominant topics in this domain.
Conclusions and suggestions: The findings suggest that focusing on equitable educational policies and advancing educational technologies to reduce the digital divide is of critical importance. Future studies are recommended to examine the impact of macro-educational policies on reducing inequality.
Innovation and originality: By utilizing bibliometric and network analysis methods, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the research trends in educational inequality, aiding policymakers and researchers in developing effective strategies.
