Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model in Science Learning: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this research was described to gain comprehensive insight into Project Based Learning (PjBL) in science learning and find out the research topics that are being researched a lot at the moment. This research was carried out through bibliometric analysis using Scopus data sources, a total of 182 documents were obtained in the period 1994-2022. VOSviewer is used as a tool to image keywords, and the final research area in PjBL. The research results show that so far the number of publications regarding PjBL in science learning has fluctuated. The United States stands out as the leading country in terms of publication volume, with significant contributions from its authors and research institutions. An analysis of keywords indicates that, in the past two years, research on Project Based Learning has predominantly focused on topics such as physics, steam, integration, research methods, and junior high school education. This suggested bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into the primary topics explored in the realm of Project Based Learning (PjBL) within the context of Science Learning.
