Abstract

Educational games and game-based learning have gained increasing attention in educational research because of their potential to enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. This study aims to map the development of educational games and game-based learning research in Indonesian education and provide an overview of its intellectual structure. A bibliometric approach was employed using data retrieved from the Scopus database, with article selection conducted systematically through the PRISMA framework, resulting in 197 articles published between 2011 and 2026. Publications indexed in 2026 were included up to the data retrieval date and may therefore represent a partial indexing year. Data were analyzed using R Program and VOSviewer through publication trend analysis, word cloud visualization, keyword clustering, and keyword novelty analysis. The findings show a substantial increase in research output, reaching its highest level in 2025. Four major thematic clusters were identified: Digital Learning Ecosystems, Educational Technology Integration, Immersive Game Development, and Instructional Design Frameworks. The research landscape is strongly associated with gamification, learning systems, and game-based learning, while “Augmented Reality,” “Project-Based Learning,” and “Educational Technology” emerged as growing research topics. This study contributes by revealing the thematic evolution, intellectual structure, and emerging directions of the field, providing insights for researchers, educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers to support evidence-based implementation of game-based learning in Indonesian education.

Abstract

Inclusive education plays a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to learning opportunities for all students regardless of their backgrounds and abilities. Although research on inclusive education has grown substantially, a comprehensive understanding of its development, thematic structure, and emerging trends in Indonesia remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to map the landscape of inclusive education research in Indonesia using a bibliometric approach. This study contributes to the literature by providing insights into publication trends, institutional contributions, dominant research themes, and future research directions within the Indonesian context. A total of 123 Scopus-indexed articles affiliated with Indonesian researchers were analyzed using Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny in R Program and VOSviewer to examine publication characteristics, collaboration patterns, thematic structures, and keyword evolution, providing insights into the Scopus-visible landscape of inclusive education research in Indonesia. The results indicate a significant growth in publication output and reveal that Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Universitas Djuanda, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, and Universitas Negeri Malang are the most productive institutions in this field. The thematic analysis identified three dominant research themes, namely Pedagogical Capacity Development, Learner Participation Dynamics, and Equity Governance Frameworks. Furthermore, overlay visualization revealed “Disability Policy” and “Madrasah” as emerging topics with strong novelty potential, indicating a shift toward policy-related and institutional perspectives in inclusive education research. In conclusion, inclusive education research in Indonesia has experienced substantial development and thematic diversification, with future studies encouraged to further explore disability-related policies and inclusive practices in madrasah settings.
