There are many benefits from using AbL and WbL, especially in the learning process through all subjects. Also, it is necessary always to discover novelty, innovation, improvement, and development of AbL or WbL to increase the quality of the study environment. This research analyzes bibliometrics on ‘AbL’ and 'WbL' keywords and compares them. Scopus is used to collect the metadata, and the VOSViewer application will be an assist tool. This research is expected to reach trends, patterns, novelty, and future research in the AbL and WbL through broad fields of Education during the past ten years (2012-2021). The research results show that trends of AbL and WbL research tend to increase each year. Finally, based on the analysis of the selected papers, the use of AbL, should be more boarder and widely in the classroom. Furthermore, the use of WbL also tends to be effective and efficient. Using WbL in classrooms is believed can improve several skills of students. But, it is necessary to find a better design to improve the learning concepts in integrating WbL. These findings also can be a recommendation for future research that optimizes AbL for the teaching and learning process in schools or universities/institutions. However, the use of appropriate learning media can improve and provide a positive response from many aspects of education in the classroom, especially in generating knowledge in abstract material like a physics subject.
