Abstract

Throughout the last decade, there has been an important increase in the number of the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) research. However, there is a lack of recent systematic reviews covering the large amount of PLE studies. In this study, aforementioned gap is addressed using a hybrid method. This hybrid method is composed of Systematic Literature Review and Thematic Analysis Approach which are based on the keyword information of published PLE studies. As a result of our search query, we have reached 506 studies. Keywords of selected studies are recorded along with year of publication, study type and country of authors. We present the frequency distribution of all keyword themes (codes) and define the most frequent codes. We also share some trend graphics regarding the other study attributes (year of publication, study type and country of authors).    
 
Keywords: Personal learning environment, PLE, personal learning, literature review, self-regulated learning.
