    • Abstract:
      This scientometric analysis explores the evolution and dynamics of Early Childhood STEAM education. Web of Science database is employed as a primary data source and visualization tools like CiteSpace and HistCite are used to systematically investigate 179 publications published between 2008 and 2023. It looks at research patterns to unearth notable shifts in focus and intensity influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Keyword analysis reveals the field's evolution, from foundational elements to broader dimensions encompassing technology, pedagogy, and gender disparities. A transition towards experiential learning, emotional identity, and professional development is evident, which reflects a pedagogical shift towards comprehensive and inclusive education. Temporal analysis using Citation Burst Analysis delineates phases of research, emphasizing shifts from fundamental exploration to pedagogical methods and experiences. Acknowledgement of influential scholars, collaborations, and global trends underscores events of interdisciplinary partnerships and international collaborations. The study's implications highlight pedagogical transformations, gender disparity, and the potential for technology in early childhood education. This could inform policy directions and foster collaborations for innovative education.
