Bibliometric Analysis of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning Using R Package

Abstract

This study aims to analyze research trends related to Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) using bibliometric methods with R software. The study explores: (1) the growth trend of publications on POGIL in 2014-2024 (2) institutions, and countries that are most productive in POGIL research, 3) scientific journals that have published articles on POGIL in 2014-2024, and the quality rating (SJR) of each journal, 4) the most commonly used independent and dependent variables in research on the POGIL approach in 2014-2024, 5) the dominant research methods and participants in POGIL research published between 2014 and 2024, 6) the types of learning media used in the implementation of the POGIL model based on research publications in 2014-2024. Bibliographic data were collected from the Scopus scientific database using specific keywords related to POGIL in science education. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the bibliometrix package in R to generate visualizations. This visualization shows a comprehensive picture of the scientific contributions to the development and dissemination of the POGIL model. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for researchers, educators, and policy makers who are interested in developing research and implementing the POGIL model.
