Abstract

The design of the literature review study is how the development of research results on the Science, Technology, Engineer Mathematic (STEM) Approach in Physics Learning in a bibliometric way and Challenges trends in physics learning research that integrates STEM. An article search used the Scopus Base data conducted on June 19, 2023. Data was collected as metadata, retrieved from Scopus data with the keywords STEM AND physics AND learning from 2006-2023. The results of data collection obtained were 329 articles downloaded with their metadata stored in CVS forms, and the results were rechecked to determine whether all the articles matched the keywords. The data results are in the form of document types consisting of articles, book chapters, conference papers, and conference reviews. Visualization processing with R programming software is carried out with four visualizations consist of annual scientific production, Wordcloud, and Network visualization. The results of this analysis study show that the trend theme of the STEM Approach in physics learning is learning media and computer-aided instruction with a significant annual increase every year in 2020 there were 54 articles, in 2021 there were 94 articles, in 2022 there were 48 articles. Meanwhile, the three largest scientific production countries are the USA with 76 articles; Indonesia with 51 articles; and Thailand with 14 articles. Research trends in 2023 are learning media and your STEM Challenges can be seen from the less trending topic is the influence of STEM on the Creative thinking and critical thinking skills. © 2024 Author(s).
