Technology has been gradually introduced into our society, and the field of education is no exception due to technology’s ability to improve the teaching–learning process. Furthermore, within the area of physical education (PE), its importance has been highlighted by the existence of specific apps for physical activity that can be used inside and outside the classroom to assess physical condition, as well as through the potential that virtual and augmented reality can have in such assessment. Therefore, the main objectives for this study were (1) to perform a bibliometric analysis of the articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) on technology in PE and (2) to analyze the articles published on augmented or virtual reality in PE found through this search. The results show that although studies on technology in PE (461 articles) have begun to consolidate over the last five years (there was a turning point in 2015), with the USA being the most influential country in this area, specific research on the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is still at a very early stage (22 articles with a small growth in 2017), with Spain being the most influential country; much more research is needed to achieve its consolidation.

This study aimed to determine trends in scientific publications and map the scope of thematic research in the field of Physical Education, especially for articles published in reputable international journals (Scopus) writen by Indonesian authors. The research process was focused on the following questions: (1) how is the productivity of Physical Education publications developing in Indonesia?; (2) who are the main contributors (author, University, and name of publication) for the published publications?; (3) what are the thematic areas that attract the most attention of academics?; and (4) what topics are emerging in the field of publication?. It’s used the Scopus database as the source of bibliometric analysis data for the research sampling process. The samples were 55 articles found through keyword "physical education" in the "article title" published in international journals indexed by Scopus. This study applied keyword co-occurrence analysis to identify and explore the main thematic areas and topics that appeared in publications. The VOSviewer software was used to support the analysis process and visualize findings. The results of the study show that physical education is a research area that still needs to be developed, referring to the productivity of publications from 2013 to 2020, which the range of publication was still below 15 per year. The collected research results were scattered in the fields of engineering studies (21), social sciences (18), and materials science (14). The main contributor of the publication was Indonesian University of Education (24). The most prolific author was Tedi Supriyadi from the Indonesian University of Education. In the Physical Education publications, six major thematic groups were identified, namely: (1) physical activity of school pupils; (2) sports; (3) Physical Education; (4) health; (5) education; and (6) creativity. This study conveyed to public that the mapping using bibliometric analysis contributes to a better understanding of the development patterns of publications in the field of Physical Education. By finding thematic areas and topics appearing in publications, this study conveys information of important issues for further research and theory development as well as for educational practice or application.

  Influenciada por los cambios tecnológicos, sociales y culturales, la educación se ha visto obligada a integrar las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en el aula. El mundo digital está en constante evolución, por lo que el profesorado necesita una formación continua para adaptar su metodología docente a los nuevos recursos tecnológicos en Educación Física (EF). Este análisis bibliométrico pretende identificar las líneas de investigación más activas en este campo de conocimiento hasta la fecha. La búsqueda ha sido realizada en Web of Science Core Collection. Para ello se han analizado 155 artículos y revisiones, de 349 autores de 30 países diferentes, publicados en 90 revistas. Según la red de co-palabras, aparecieron 6 clusters, analizados temáticamente: (i) desarrollo de habilidades de uso de las TIC en profesores y alumnos, (ii) ventajas de las TIC en el ámbito del deporte, (iii) lucha contra la inactividad física a través de herramientas digitales, (iv) beneficios de la adquisición de habilidades relacionadas con las TIC en la Educación Física, (v) profesores y alumnos que muestran una actitud positiva hacia la integración de las TIC en la Educación Física, (vi) urgencia en el desarrollo de un nuevo sistema educativo regido por la igualdad de oportunidades. La información obtenida puede contribuir a extender el conocimiento para académicos y profesionales sobre el estado actual del campo de estudio. De mismo modo, presenta lagunas existentes en la literatura que son necesarias de cubrir y se exponen futuras líneas o tendencias de estudio.  Abstract. Influenced by technological, social and cultural changes, education has been forced to integrate Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the classroom. The digital world is in constant evolution, which means that teachers need continuous training in order to adapt their teaching methodology to the new technological resources in Physical Education (PE). This bibliometric analysis aims to identify the most active lines of research in this field of knowledge to date. The search was carried out in Web of Science Core Collection. To this point, 155 articles and reviews have been analyzed, from 349 authors from 30 different countries, published in 90 journals. According to the network of co-words, 6 clusters appeared, analyzed thematically: (i) developing ICT use skills in teachers and students, (ii) advantages of ICT in the field of sport, (iii) combating physical inactivity through digital tools, (iv) benefits of acquiring ICT-related PE skills, (v) teachers and students showing a positive attitude towards the integration of ICT in PE, (vi) urgency in the development of a new educational system governed by equal opportunities. The information obtained can contribute to extend knowledge for academics and professionals on the current state of the field of study. Likewise, it presents existing gaps in the literature that need to be filled and future lines or trends of study are presented.
