Ethnomathematical Studies in the Scopus Database Between 2010-2022: A Bibliometric Review

Abstract

Today, ethnomathematics studies have become a global trend for decades. However, there is no comprehensive understanding of the state of studies on ethnomathematical topics to date. For this reason, this study seeks to fill these limitations by conducting a bibliometric study of 198 studies on the Scopus database between 2010 and 2022. This research addresses two issues: (i) an overview of the growth trajectory of studies related to ethnomathematics; and (ii) mapping to identify the most important gaps and topics. The results of the analysis show that the trajectory of the study is related to the influence of Covid-19. Key-topics and research gaps are discussed. Some of the implications are presented as useful information for scientists and stakeholders.

Trends and implications of ICT-Based Ethnomathematics Studies: Bibliometric Analysis

“…The research results show that the number of publications between 2010-2019 is very significant. This is in line with the results of bibliometric analysis from previous studies, which showed an increasing trend until 2019 [1], [3], [21]- [23]. Furthermore, the downward trend from 2019 to 2021 was mediated by the impact of COVID-19, as seen from the results of previous research in 2019 [21].…”

“…Integrating ethnomathematics as part of a didactic framework in mathematics learning has recently become a recommended option [1]- [3]. Applying ethnomathematics is an important part of getting closer to students and their inherited culture so that it can be passed on to the next generation [4]- [6].…”

“…These gaps include the need to conduct a comprehensive review study on the application of ethnomathematics in learning. To fill this gap, several meta-analyses and bibliometric studies, as well as systematic reviews of literature, have been carried out related to the topic of ethnomathematics (e.g., [1], [3], [16]- [18]). However, until now, not many have continued this research and considered ICT variables in ethnomathematics studies.…”

“…Hal ini dibuktikan dengan berkembangnya penelitian ethnomatematika dari waktu ke waktu. Perkembangan tersebut mencakup eksplorasi matematika dalam suatu budaya, penerapan nilai-nilai budaya ke dalam pembelajaran matematika, pengembangan perangkat pembelajaran berbasis budaya, hingga pengembangan model pembelajaran berbasis ethnomatematika (Kharisudin & Iqbal, 2021;Tamur et al, 2023). Perkembangan ethnomatematika juga ditunjukkan dengan adanya pendekatan yang lebih mendalam dalam ethnomatematika, yang disebut ethnomodelling (Alghar & Jamaluddin, 2024;Rosa & Orey, 2017).…”
