Resumen
Background: In recent decades, a wide variety of aspects related to astronomical phenomena have been investigated. However, astronomy research in school has not been a very active field compared to other topics. In addition, a great part of that research involves high school or university students. Few studies address the early schooling stages. Objective: Our goal is to make a narrative and bibliometric review of the articles published in relevant scientific journals from 2009 to 2019 on astronomy teaching in early childhood (0–6 years) and primary education (6–12 years), using the Big Ideas in astronomy as a conceptual framework (Lelliott & Rollnick, 2010). The purposes are to characterise these studies, investigate how research on astronomy education has fostered our understanding of its learning, and analyse which methodologies and theoretical frameworks are the most frequent in them. Design: A systematic narrative and bibliometric literature review is carried out with the help of specific software (Bibliometrix and VOSwiever). Setting and participants: To locate the articles to be analysed, we used the ERIC - Education Resources Information Center resource database. We also selected research works in English centred on the educational stages of early childhood and/or primary education whose focus is one or more of the Big Ideas. They must have been published between 2009 and 2019 in journals dedicated to the didactics of experimental sciences and indexed in JCR (2019). Data collection and analysis: The data is collected systematically using a descriptive coding instrument. A bibliometric analysis is carried out, providing basic information on the analysed articles, relevant journals, trend by year of publications on the subject, publications by country and international collaboration, number of citations of the articles, and coauthorship networks, publications by year and genre, identification of the most addressed concepts through word clouds and networks of k
