BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS ON THE STUDY OF LITERACY IN THE FIELD OF FEEDBACK (2016-2025)

Abstract

Feedback literacy is a key concept in communication sciences. The researchers have analyzed the structure and direction of research on this phenomenon from 2016 to 2025. Using the PRISMA methodology, the work develops a procedure for such analysis: the first stage included the search and collection of data, at the second stage the criteria for selecting the material were identified, then at the third stage we extracted the data and at the fourth stage the analysis of this data was performed. The authors conduct a detailed analysis of 286 publications extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, which included an analysis of keywords and expressions, their clustering, as well as an analysis of “bursts” of scientific literature activity about the phenomenon in question. These results, obtained using the SiteSpace software, show that the volume of publications on the concept of literacy in the field of feedback is steadily growing. The focus of such research is gradually shifting from purely theoretical constructions to the field of situationally oriented practices and the use of various technical means in information processing in the feedback process. The results also show that multidimensional research networks have emerged that include topics such as student and teacher literacy in the field of feedback, academic writing, digital feedback environment, and assessment methods. However, there are certain contradictions in the development of research on this concept, which are related to methodological limitations and ethical considerations when using technology in the field of feedback. It seems to us that in the future, research should be aimed at in-depth study of the ethical aspects of feedback, identification of cross-cultural differences and the development of new methods of research on literacy in the field of feedback.
