Özet
The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive perspective by examining the studies on technology in early childhood in detail. In the study, bibliometric analysis of 391 articles published in SSCI-ESCI and SCI Expanded indexed journals between 1988–2023 from Web of Science database was conducted. This rigorous screening using the PRISMA flow diagram is reported in detail to increase the transparency and reproducibility of the research. The general structure of the concepts in the studies was revealed and concept clusters were identified. The research findings were grouped under three headings: ''Child and Family Dynamics (1)'', which includes concepts related to family and child in early childhood technology, ''Digital Integration (2)'', which is related to technology integration in education, and ''Educational Practices (3)'', which complements the application aspect of technology from different perspectives. In this study, maps explaining the dynamic structure of early childhood technology studies and the evolution in this structure were created.
