“…It is possible to find that the attention paid to critical thinking (Figures 6 and 7) is such that there are even specific studies on this subcompetency and its relationship with processes associated with decision-making, such as the case of (Polanco et al 2022;Nor and Johari Sihes 2022;Pagan et al 2022;Sudirman et al 2023).

“…In this sense, with the increase in scientific production and publication, the need arises to develop an area of study that measures the progress of the generation of academic knowledge, developing indicators that provide an objective assessment of the documentation of science (Castaño et al 2022). Although bibliometric studies are not new, they take on new meaning in responding to this need, becoming relevant when providing information on the progress and direction of academic literature (Gaviria-Marin et al 2019).…”

Complex thinking is an important tool for effective decision-making, as it helps people to better understand uncertain situations by considering the multiple variables and relationships involved in a situation, thus being able to identify patterns and connections that would not otherwise be evident. This article presents the results of a bibliometric study to identify academic publications that consider the correlation between decision-making in the business area and complex thinking competency and its sub-competencies. The intention was to have a theoretical horizon that provides a complete overview of the current academic situation regarding the correlation of both professional skills to identify areas of opportunity for new studies. Methodologically, we conducted a literature review using Scopus and Web of Science databases under the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol from which a sample of 339 articles related to both topics was obtained. R, Rstudio, and Bibliometrix were used for the quantitative analysis of the data. The results showed an academic tendency to associate decision-making in business with critical thinking, paying little attention to the other sub-competencies of complex thinking. Furthermore, we found a concentration of research in specific universities and countries, repeating a tendency to study only a few sub-competencies. Overall, this work sheds light on the broad opportunity to link the complex thinking macro-competency with decision-making in business, to provide more extraordinary skills and tools to future professionals.

“…Strong communication skills are necessary for these presentations to be engaging and informative. Critical thinking skills underpin the ability to anticipate questions, objections, and counterarguments, helping students deliver compelling pitches [46]. Not only that, these skills help students organize their thoughts and convey them logically, ensuring that their messages are wellstructured and easily understood by others.…”

Increased energy demand, acceleration of renewable energy, and response to climate change are global challenges that are being faced today. To overcome this, education for sustainable development (ESD) is a concept that can be implemented through the renewable energy learning project (RELP) in physics lessons. This study analyzes the project-based learning on the RELP concept and its influence on project design, communication, and critical thinking skills. By using a one-shot case study method on 37 high school students divided into five groups, two types of renewable energy works were created: solar and wind. The results found that the students had the above three skills in the high category. Additionally, project design and communication skills significantly influenced critical thinking. This research implies providing a project-based physics learning concept relevant to 21st-century skills while achieving ESD.

“…Penyajian metode pembelajaran yang interaktif menjadi solusi efektif sehingga peran siswa lebih dominan dalam kelas. Hal ini penting bagi seorang pendidik agar mampu menyesuaikan kondisi psikologis dan kognitif siswa di kelasnya masing-masing sehingga kemampuan berpikir matematis siswa dapat terasah dengan baik dan capaian hasil belajar lebih maksimal Penelitian terkait dengan penelitian ini yaitu penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Castaño et al (2022) analisis bibliometric dalam 50 terakhir terkait Critical thinking pada Pendidikan tinggi, dimana negara Amerika serikat yang paling berpengaruh pada bidang tersebut, untuk di Kawasan Benua Asia yang paling berpengaruh terhadapa bidang Critical thinking adalah negara China dan Indonesia. Penelitian tersebut menggunakan database Wos dan menyarankan untuk penelitian selanjutnya menggunakan database selain Wos.…”

Critical thinking can be formed in several ways, one of which is through the process of learning mathematics. This study aims to determine trends and research focus related to critical thinking in mathematics learning. A total of 327 data were obtained from database dimensions. VOSviewer software is used to display visualizations based on bibliographic pairs and events with keywords by the author. Researchers use qualitative research methods. The analysis technique used is descriptive bibliometric analysis and bibliometric visualization method. The results of the study show that the countries of Indonesia and the United States, the Indonesian University of Education and Padang State University, the "journal of physics conference series" and documents (Mutakinati et al., 2018) have been the most influential on critical thinking in learning mathematics in the last five years . The research focus is divided into four of them, namely: 1) STEM approach; 2) Learning with Problem-based learning; 3) Critical thinking in higher education; 4) learning outcomes and creative thinking. STEM is not directly related to geometry material, and problem-based learning is also not directly connected to independent learning.
