Abstract

This systematic review employed bibliometric methods to examine the meta-data of 337 documents on the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) during 15 years starting from its birth in 2010 to 2024. This review utilized citation, author co-citation, and bibliographic coupling techniques to summarize the descriptive trends, identifying the most influential themes and uncovering its underlying intellectual structure and research front of the field. It also applied a social network perspective to take an in-depth view into the knowledge base of TALIS intellectual structure. This review offers significant insights into the historical trajectory of intellectual accumulation within the literature on TALIS research, providing policymakers with evidence-based implications to enhance environments conducive to effective teaching and learning and overall school improvement.
