Abstract

Strengthening 21st-century competencies in elementary school mathematics learning is an urgent need in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. Although Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is theoretically and empirically recognized as being able to improve students' learning outcomes and problem-solving abilities, existing research remains methodologically and thematically fragmented. This study aims to consolidate evidence and systematically map the development of PBL research trends in elementary school mathematics learning during the period 2015-2025. This study uses a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design that integrates bibliometric analysis and meta-analysis. Data of 285 documents were obtained from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer software, Bibliometrix R-package, and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA). The findings indicate that annual publication trends fluctuate significantly with research peaks occurring in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024. Geographically, Indonesia emerged as a major research center (global research hub) with the highest number of publications, while the United States played a role as a mediator for international collaboration. The thematic map identifies the primary research focus on the student pillar, mathematics content, and PBL methodology. This area of research is still in its infancy but not yet fully mature. There are significant research gaps in the specific cognitive mechanisms of PBL, as well as the need for teacher capacity building and the integration of advanced technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems in future research.

Abstract

This study highlights the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in improving critical and creative thinking skills through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Data were obtained from 59 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025, with 20 articles meeting relevance criteria for early childhood education (ECE) and secondary education levels worldwide. The data analysis protocol followed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) to ensure systematic and transparent literature selection. The findings indicate that CBC has a significant positive impact on critical and creative thinking skills, especially when active and contextual learning strategies are implemented. Strategies such as project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, problem-solving in science, reflective writing, and local culture-based media have proven effective in stimulating higher-order cognition and student creativity. However, the effectiveness of CBC faces systemic and philosophical challenges, including unprepared teacher competency, a lack of valid assessment instruments, and the risk of material shallowing due to an excessive focus on procedural skills. Based on these findings, it is recommended that policymakers prioritize teacher training and strengthening authentic assessment, while researchers are advised to conduct longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of the CBC and develop standardized assessment models that can be widely applied in schools.
