Abstract

This study provides an overview of research on errors and misconceptions in mathematics education through bibliometric analysis. It examines quantitative and qualitative characteristics of publications from 2014 to 2024, analyzing articles, authors, citations, countries, and related statistics. Data collection involved three stages: selecting relevant studies, converting them into a bibliometric application format, and performing data cleaning to ensure accuracy. The analysis, based on Web of Science (WoS) articles, includes both performance analysis and scientific mapping. Findings highlight the main trends, developments, and research gaps concerning misconceptions in mathematics teaching. The results reveal dynamics and potential areas for advancement in the field, offering valuable insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers. Ultimately, the study contributes to improving the quality of mathematics education by clarifying the state of research and identifying directions for future investigation.
