Analysis and Visualization Critical Thinking and Creative Thinking Trends of Research in Science Education Using R Studio
Abstract
This study aimed to give a thorough overview of how to analyze and visualize creative and critical thinking trends in science education research using the bibliometrics technique. This study is based on 319 papers that were gathered and indexed by Scopus between the years 2002 and 2022 that dealt with critical and creative thinking in scientific education. For bibliometric analysis, we employed R Studio. There is an upsurge in studies on critical and creative thinking tendencies, and some nations have recently investigated critical and creative thinking in science education. Additionally, there is a growing tendency in education that emphasizes the connection between critical and creative thinking in the subject of study covered in this study. Considering the findings of this bibliometric analysis, it thus offers a summary and opportunities for additional research.
Keywords: critical thinking, creative thinking, science education, R Studio
