Abstract

Objective:  This study aims to analyze the research trends, characteristics, and development patterns of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics integrated with the Engineering Design Process (STEM-EDP) in Science Education from 2016 to 2025. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer. A total of 101 articles indexed in the Springer database were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis focused on annual publication trends, keyword frequency, research methods, authorship patterns, geographical distribution, citation rankings, and journal productivity. Results: The findings indicate a consistent upward trend in STEM-EDP publications, with a projected peak in 2025. Qualitative research methods dominate the field (80.19%), reflecting the exploratory nature of STEM-EDP studies. Single-authored publications are most common, while the Americas—particularly the United States—contribute the highest number of publications. The most cited authors are Kelly C. Margot and Todd Kettler (179 citations). The International Journal of Technology and Design Education is identified as the most productive journal. Keyword mapping reveals that STEM-EDP remains in an emerging research cluster, frequently associated with project-based learning and creative thinking. Novelty: This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric mapping specifically focused on STEM-EDP within Science Education using the Springer database for the 2016–2025 period. Unlike previous reviews that examined general STEM research, this study highlights the distinct integration of the Engineering Design Process and identifies emerging thematic directions and methodological gaps for future research.

Abstract

This review discusses the role of chitosan and modified chitosan as encapsulation matrices for essential oils (EOs) to overcome the limitations of volatility, hydrophobicity, and instability that have historically hindered the application of EOs in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural fields. Thru a literature review, this article examines the composition and extraction methods of EO; the principles, wall materials, and encapsulation techniques; and chitosan modification strategies ranging from cross-linking (e.g., sodium tripolyphosphate/TPP, glutaraldehyde), grafting functional groups, sulfation, to composite formation with other polymers (alginate, pectin, gelatin, cellulose, PVA). Generally, chitosan enhances oxidative stability, protects against light/oxygen/heat, improves solubility and bioavailability, and enables controlled release while providing antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that synergize with EO. Performance evidence is demonstrated by high encapsulation efficiency (often >80–90%) and nano particle size (<100 nm) in a number of formulations. For example, chitosan–TPP/alginate nanoparticles for rosemary oil achieved >98% efficiency with a size <100 nm, while oregano oil in chitosan–TPP nanoparticles reached 92.90%. Highlighted applications include active food preservatives and smart packaging, drug/topical delivery, biopesticides and fungal control, and the inhibition of resistant pathogens (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae). Nevertheless, the challenges toward commercialization still include process scale, cost, material standardization, long-term release control, and safety evaluation. Overall, chitosan and its derivatives emerge as versatile and promising encapsulating agents for enhancing the effectiveness, stability, and added value of essential oils across various sectors.

Abstract

Technology literacy is a crucial competency in addressing digital transformation and the challenges of 21st-century learning. This study aims to analyze research trends in technology literacy within the field of education, particularly in STEM learning, through a bibliometric approach using VOSviewer. Data were collected from international publication databases for the period 2021–2025 using the keywords technology literacy, digital literacy, and STEM education. The analysis identified five main research clusters: (1) effects and impacts (effect, impact, relationship), (2) learning contexts and student engagement (student engagement, experience, perception), (3) digital adoption and mechanisms (adoption, tool, competency, mechanism), (4) sustainability and management (sustainability, management, industry), and (5) emerging technological innovations (virtual reality, healthcare, engineering, artificial intelligence). The findings indicate that technology literacy is not only associated with pedagogical practices and student learning in STEM but also extends to sustainability, industry, and advanced technologies. This broader scope highlights the novelty of this study, showing how technology literacy connects education with global technological advancements. The study provides valuable insights for academics and practitioners in developing adaptive and future-oriented learning strategies aligned with educational needs and technological change.
