STEAM Education Research Trends (2018-2022): Bibliometric Analysis

Studi ini mengkaji tren penelitian STEAM Education selama lima tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: (1) Siapa penulis paling produktif; (2) Afiliasi paling produktif; (3) Negara paling produktif; (4) Visualisasi tren penelitian STEAM; dan (5) Topik penelitian masa depan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian Bibliometrik. Basis data Scopus digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data, yang kemudian diubah menjadi RIS. Peneliti melakukan analisis data dengan perangkat lunak Rstudio, bibliometrix, dan VosViewer. Berdasarkan analisis, jumlah penelitian tentang STEAM mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan dari tahun 2018 hingga tahun 2022. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa STEAM Education berdampak besar pada bidang pendidikan, khususnya pembelajaran. Selain itu, diketahui bahwa penelitian STEAM telah banyak dipelajari di Asia, khususnya di China. Namun, berdasarkan analisis bibliometrix menunjukkan bahwa Korea Selatan menjadi negara yang paling banyak disitasi internasional terkait penelitian pendekatan STEAM. Berdasarkan temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa menghubungkan Pendidikan STEAM dengan budaya lokal memiliki peluang penelitian di masa depan dalam pendidikan STEAM. Oleh karena itu, implikasi pada penelitian ini menharapkan adanya penelitian lebih lanjut terkait implementasi pendekatan STEAM terintegrasi budaya untuk meningkatkan keterampilan siswa.This study examines STEAM Education research trends over the past five years. This study aims to determine: (1) Who are the most prolific authors; (2) The most prolific affiliates; (3) The most prolific country; (4) Visualisation of STEAM research trends; and (5) Future research topics. This research uses bibliometric research methods. The Scopus database was utilised to collect data, which was then converted into RIS. They are performing data analysis with Rstudio, bibliometrix, and VosViewer software. Based on the analysis, the number of studies on STEAM has increased significantly from 2018 to 2022. This shows that STEAM Education has a big impact on the field of education, especially learning. In addition, it is known that STEAM research has been widely studied in Asia, especially in China. However, bibliometrix analysis shows that South Korea is the country with the most international citations regarding STEAM approach research. Based on the findings, it also shows that connecting STEAM education with local culture has future research opportunities in STEAM education. Therefore, the implications of this research hope for further research regarding the implementation of a culturally integrated STEAM approach to improve student skills
