STEM in Mathematics Teaching and Learning: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

STEM education, which integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, has become increasingly important in modern education. This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of STEM in mathematics teaching and learning topics published in the Scopus database. The data used in this study amounted to 1,787 articles published from 2013 to 2023. This research uses reference management software, namely Publish or Perish for data collection, Microsoft Excel for data analysis, RStudio, and VOSviewer for data visualization. The results showed that STEM in mathematics teaching and learning research increased consistently from 2013 to 2023, with some years experiencing a greater increase than others. A significant increase occurred in 2019–2020. The United States is the most productive country in terms of publications. Yuenyong, C., has the most publications, and Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia is the organization with the most publications. Keywords that are widely used through WordCloud include "students," "STEM education," and "engineering education." Therefore, these findings can serve as a guide for future researchers to conduct relevant research using STEM in mathematics teaching and learning.
