A Bibliometric Review of Learning Approaches in Primary Education Level: Examining the Indonesian Contribution to the Field

Syamsul Ghufron, Afib Rulyansah

Abstract


It is crucial to employ contemporary pedagogical approaches in primary education to cultivate capable and skilled young individuals who are equipped to excel in competitive environments. Despite a significant amount of field research on the use of learning approaches in primary education, there is a lack of studies that consolidate the findings through bibliometric techniques. The main aim of this bibliometric investigation is to identify prevalent research patterns and evaluate Indonesia's scientific contributions to the study of learning approaches in primary education. The study employs bibliometric analysis, which includes four stages: initial search, application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, data extraction, and data cleaning. Data analysis is conducted using Publish or Perish, Ms. Excel, and Chat GPT. This research analyzed 549 papers published over 56 years, which gathered 4552 citations. The citation frequency peaked in 2008 with 690 citations. The 17 most influential authors came mainly from Indonesia and the United States. Most of the most-cited works were published more than ten years ago. The British Journal of Educational Psychology and Switzerland's Sustainability Journal lead in publishing educational research articles. Six out of the top 11 institutions in learning approaches research are Indonesian universities, showcasing Indonesia's dominance in the field. Surpassing other countries like the United States, Turkey, Spain, the UK, Australia, and China, Indonesia has achieved significant success.
