This study aims to describe and analyze, using an international relations (IR) lens, the current publication, collaboration, and topic trends of research on big data and education in South Korea and the ASEAN region and identify future strategies to enhance it. The status of big data and education publications was explored using scientometric methods by extracting publications in Web of Science and analyzing them using R Studio and VOSViewer. Also, relevant publications were reviewed to determine possible strategies. A review of 2,427 publications revealed that the publication, citation, and collaboration for big data and education in South Korea and the ASEAN region have increased these past years. Key topics identified were using big data for teaching and performance assessment, the intersection of big data and artificial intelligence, and the implementation framework of big data in education and other industries, which varied across countries. The strategies identified for the future included establishing collaborative networks, organizing joint research projects, facilitating exchange programs, investing in infrastructure and resources, seeking funding opportunities, developing joint policy frameworks, and engaging industry partners. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the current status of big data and education in South Korea and ASEAN by examining and evaluating publication trends, international collaboration, critical topics in research publications through IR lenses, and possible strategies for advancing big data integration in education. By embracing big data and implementing effective strategies, stakeholders can contribute to advancing and optimizing education systems in South Korea, the ASEAN region, and beyond.
