Bibliometric Analysis Regarding the Development of Learning Media and Students' Critical Thinking Skills (2019-2022)

Abstract

Physics is something that is considered difficult, most students only understand physics from formulas, without knowing the basic concepts in physics. Therefore, it is important to use visual media in the physics learning process so that it can bridge abstract material into concrete. Then a bibliometric analysis was carried out on the research that had been conducted to analyze the linkages between the development of physics learning media and critical thinking skills. This research was conducted using the VOS viewer software, an application that applies Co-Occurrence and Co-Authorship calculations. A metadata search conducted through Scopus obtained 1,655 documents related to the development of physics learning media with research in 2019-2022. The results of the study obtained that physics learning media is closely related to students' critical thinking skills. However, there are still few documents produced regarding the relevance of these topics, so this research must be re-examined in depth.
