Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze research trends in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in digital and virtual science learning environments during the period 2015–2025. The analysis focuses on identifying dominant research themes, mapping the structure of the research field, and examining the evolution of research on the integration of digital technologies in science learning. Method: This study employed a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Scopus database. The article selection process followed the PRISMA guidelines, yielding 101 documents for analysis. The study examined keyword co-occurrence, citation patterns, and thematic structures. Network, overlay, and density visualizations were conducted using VOSviewer to explore relationships between keywords and the temporal development of research topics. Results: The findings indicate that research on PBL in digital and virtual science learning is structured around core themes such as problem-based learning, students, e-learning, and virtual reality, which show strong interconnections. The temporal analysis reveals a shift from general educational contexts toward the integration of digital and immersive technologies, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. In addition, density and citation analyses highlight the central role of digital technology in shaping contemporary PBL research. In contrast, emerging topics such as machine learning and digital twins remain less explored. Novelty: This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric mapping of the convergence between PBL and digital–virtual technologies in science learning, revealing a conceptual shift toward intelligent and immersive learning environments and identifying emerging research opportunities.

Abstract

Objective: The study aims to map the global research landscape of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Digital Learning Environments (DLE) using a bibliometric approach. The objective is to identify publication trends, major contributors, collaboration patterns, and emerging research themes supporting the development of sustainable digital education aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). Method: The analysis was conducted on 2,134 documents retrieved from the Scopus database covering publications up to 2025. Data preprocessing involved duplicate removal, document filtering, and keyword harmonization. Bibliometric analysis employed performance indicators (annual publications, productive authors, sources, affiliations, and countries) and science mapping techniques (co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and citation analysis) using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer to visualize the intellectual structure of the field. Results: The findings reveal a substantial growth of research in this field, particularly following the global acceleration of digital education. China and the United States dominate research productivity, followed by emerging contributions from countries such as Indonesia. Publication sources are largely dominated by conference proceedings and journals in educational technology and computer science, highlighting the field's interdisciplinary nature.  Novelty: This study provides a comprehensive mapping of the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of PBL research in Digital Learning Environments. It identifies research gaps, including limited international collaboration and the need for greater integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. The findings offer directions for future research to strengthen sustainable digital learning innovation and support the achievement of SDG 4.
