Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze global research trends on the integration of STEM-based learning to improve students’ critical thinking skills in mathematics education during 2021–2025. It seeks to map publication growth, identify dominant keywords, and explore thematic relationships among research topics. Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from the Scopus database (2021–2025). The study followed five systematic stages: research design, data compilation, analysis, visualization, and interpretation. Keyword mapping was performed using VOSviewer software with terms such as “STEM,” “education,” “critical thinking,” and “mathematics.”  Results:  A total of 144 relevant articles were identified. The number of publications increased significantly from 2021 to 2025, with “STEM education” emerging as the most dominant keyword. Visualization revealed strong relationships among STEM education, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative learning, reflecting a growing global emphasis on developing 21st-century skills through contextual and project-based learning.  Novelty: This study presents the first comprehensive bibliometric mapping focused on the intersection between STEM integration and critical thinking in mathematics education. It also highlights emerging research directions integrating digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) into STEM learning to support innovative, future-oriented educational practices.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving PISA-type mathematical problems related to change and relationships, from the perspective of self-efficacy. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with two eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 3 Surabaya in the 2024/2025 academic year, selected based on high and low self-efficacy levels, while considering similar gender, equivalent mathematical ability, and good communication skills. Data collection techniques included a self-efficacy questionnaire, mathematics ability test, problem-solving test, and task-based interviews. Data were analyzed based on indicators of critical thinking: Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarity, and Overview. The findings indicate that students with low self-efficacy struggle to identify key information, develop logical strategies, and reflect on their approaches. In contrast, students with high self-efficacy demonstrated more systematic understanding, well-structured problem-solving techniques, and reflective, argumentative reviews. These results suggest that self-efficacy plays a significant role in influencing the quality of students' critical thinking. Therefore, teachers need to design learning strategies that enhance students' self-efficacy, such as by providing appropriate challenges, offering positive feedback, and reinforcing successes, so that mathematics instruction becomes more effective in fostering critical thinking skills.
