Content analysis of curriculum development studies for immigrants
Curriculum development studies for immigrants
Abstract
This study aims to explore the current structure of curriculum development studies for immigrants and to compile and present academic studies based on some criteria. In this survey-model-based study, the content analysis method, which is listed among the qualitative research methods, was used for the classification of academic studies. The population of the study consists of academic studies searched with the keyword "Curriculum Development for Immigrants" in Web of Science, Scopus, and TR index databases. The research was limited to the studies conducted between 2000 and 2022. Analysis results revealed that the curriculum studies for immigrants emerged in 2001 with most studies conducted in 2016 on a yearly basis and the USA ranked first in terms of the number of academic studies on this subject. As observed from the curriculum research on immigrants, studies were mainly conducted in form of articles, the most preferred methods and data collection tools were qualitative methods and interviews, respectively; the sample group including teachers + students + parents was mainly preferred, and high schools were mainly preferred for the school type. Although a great number of countries host immigrants, the number of curriculum studies curricula for immigrants is observed to be limited. Thus, this study denotes a need for curriculum development studies for immigrants. In addition, this research aims to provide researchers with a new perspective and to provide easy access to background information on the curriculum.
