Abstract

The Bachelor's program in Early Childhood Islamic Education (PIAUD) at UIN Saizu Purwokerto was established in 2014. Student theses for the PIAUD program began appearing in the UIN Saizu repository in 2018. The research objective is to describe the research trends in the theses of PIAUD students at UIN Saizu Purwokerto from 2018 to 2022. This study is done using a quantitative approach through bibliometric analysis. The application used for data mining is Zotero, and data visualization is carried out using VOSviewer version 1.6.18. The thesis data source is from repository.uinsaizu.ac.id, with a total of 272 theses processed. The research results indicate that the trends in the themes of the theses by PIAUD students at UIN Saizu Purwokerto from 2018 to 2022 align with the program's focus, revolving around early childhood themes, optimization, and creativity development. Four (4) clusters were formed. No words or phrases indicating a concentration on Islamic Education were observed in the titles of the theses by PIAUD students at UIN Saizu Purwokerto. However, one word in the cluster indicates an Islamic theme, which is the word "RA" (Raudhatul Athfal), representing Islamic educational institutions at the early childhood level.
