A Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends in the Scientific Approach to Physics Learning

Abstract

This study aims to analyze research trends on a scientific approach in physics learning. The qualitative method used is a bibliometric analysis using the Vos Viewer application. The data was obtained through the Scholar search using Publish or Perish application. A total of 198 research articles were collected with a publication range of 2017-2022. The research in 2017 was 24 articles; in 2018, there were 28 articles; in 2019, there were 45 articles; in 2020, there were 51 articles; in 2021, there were 45 articles; and in 2022, there were five articles. The data obtained is stored in the form of RIS and then analyzed using the Vos Viewer application. Based on the analysis result, it can conclude that the research themes that need to be explored further in the scientific approach to learning physics are students’ science process skills, projects, discovery, and active learning.
