To do this, we scrutinized articles in four consecutive five-year periods: 1998-2002, 2003-2007, 2008-2012, 2013-2017. Using the titles and abstracts of 821 articles published between 1998 and 2017, we conducted a quantitative text analysis and identified the most frequent and most characteristic bigrams that emerged during these periods. In addition, we looked at whether specific word stems (e.g., "erziehungswissenschaft", "bildungsforsch", "didakt") began to occur more frequently over the two decades under study. Finally, we used the text mining tool Leximancer (TM) to construct concept maps that point to the semantic structure of the topics and key concepts in the analyzed articles. The results indicate that, over the course of this twenty-year period, the ZfE predominantly published empirical articles with a focus on the social aspects of education, but that its focus on research into general pedagogy decreased in frequency.}, language = {de} }
