Abstract
The term “culture” is used to explain different social phenomena in a very varied way within the educational field; the use of drama favors the adaptation and assimilation of cultural identity. The objective of this study is to analyze the progression, significance, and prospects of the term “cultural” in the education field. A bibliometric study based on the scientific-mapping technique of documents indexed in the Web of Science database was carried out. The unit of analysis was established at 10,776 publications. The results indicate that manuscripts collected on Web of Science topics are written in English, with the University of California system generating the most production. In addition, there has been a change in trends in lines of research from 2012 onwards. Two lines of research were established in time, “race-educational-attainment-inequality-cultural-capital” and “students-students-competence”. This study publicizes the most relevant topics and main lines of research of scientists in each established period. Teachers can also design programs or activities in their practice. Lastly, the most-used instruments to evaluate this cultural competence among students were found.
