Abstract

Literature shows that character and physical educations, to enhance students' fitness and growth through physical activity, have a vital role in the learning process. A character-based physical education learning model is required to integrate the two educational ideas. A study on the development of research on this topic is required for the model's application and development. Therefore, this study aims to find and analyze articles in Scopus indexed journals of the last decade (2011-2020) related to character-based physical education learning models. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was employed to explore the roadmap for character-based physical education learning. This bibliometric study has four steps: (1) finding related articles, (2) filtering, (3) validating and completing the article information, and (4) carrying out a bibliometric analysis. This study discovered eight findings, including: (1) publication trend of the physical education learning model in 2011-2020; (2) citation number of the article; (3) author collaboration; (4) the most used keywords by the authors; (5) abstract analysis; (6) institutional collaboration; (7) country analysis; and (8) analysis of character values promoted in the bibliography. Based on these eight findings, this study concludes that academics and researchers pay insufficient attention to character-based physical education learning models. This also suggests that in the context of physical education learning, their attention is more concentrated on the cognitive and psychomotor domains. On the other hand, academics have not paid much attention to character as an effective area. This finding needs to be highlighted because, in education, besides knowledge, an educator has a duty to transfer values. Therefore, more publications on the integration of character education into physical education are required. This study can assist in mapping future research directions that will encourage further research on physical education.

Highlights

Character education has become an important part of educational development and a strategic policy agenda in educational curricula in various countries [1], [2]
The bibliography analysis was done based on seven aspects: (1) the development of publications, (2) the journal that contains the most articles on the physical education learning model, (3) the most cited articles, (4) the most-used keywords for the authors in the physical education learning model, (5) collaboration between institutions or affiliations, (6) collaboration between institutes, and (7) author distribution of various locations
In terms of the publication trend, it tends to have an upward trend in terms of quantity, at the time of the writing, there are only 26 articles that discuss character-based physical education learning models in the last decade, which is still quite low compared to other topics

Based on this, exploring physical education learning models based on character development is important in developing future studies
