Abstract

This research is intended to see how critical thinking studies develop in STEM education using a bibliometric approach related to 142 articles indexed in Scopus for 2014-2026. The analysis was conducted using VOS viewer and Bibliometrix to identify publication trends, major contributors, collaboration patterns, and the evolution of themes. Based on the results, the publications increase significantly since the year 2020 and peak in 2025, which indicate more attention to critical thinking in STEM education. Spread out research contributors where no author seems to dominate the research. However, the US and China were the countries with the highest citations. While some countries showed high impact based on average citations. The distribution of co-authorship patterns is scattered and still restricted to smaller groups which calls for increased global co-authorship. The most valuable articles pertained to technology, learning, innovation and interdisciplinary approaches as citation analysis suggests. Furthermore, the analysis of keywords indicates that critical thinking and STEM education are core themes which are evolving towards active learning, problem solving, and integration of AI like ChatGPT. A growing body of research provides evidence to confirm that this field continues to grow rapidly and plays a strategic role in the development of 21st century skills.
