The Shifting Tendency of Inquiry Learning Research in the Last Five Years: Real Contribution in Physics Education

Abstract

The research objective is to explore the trends research of inquiry learning in physics education in the last five years (2017-2021). This research is a bibliometric analysis. The findings show that research related to physics education is dominated by the most developed during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 – 2021) country Indonesia. Meanwhile, the Journal of Physics Conference Series is the journal that publishes the most publications (Scopus) related to physics education, followed by the AIP Conference Proceeding. For research implications tolibrarians, and policy makers, (1) Research and development need to be carried out in-depth related to the growing trend of physics education so that it can be published in Scopus. (2) Cooperation and collaboration between other universities to increase publications at the international level. (3) The need for continuous research to follow current trends.
