<![CDATA[This study aims to map global research trends in Character Education and Civic Education through a hybrid systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. The dataset consisted of 201 Scopus-indexed articles published between 1989 and 2025. Article selection followed the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). At the same time, bibliometric data were visualized using VOSviewer, a software tool for mapping publication networks and keyword relationships. The analysis examined publication growth, country distribution, institutional contributions, author productivity, journal sources, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. The findings indicate that scholarly interest increased substantially after 2017 and reached its highest level during 2023–2024. The United States and Indonesia emerged as the leading contributors to this research field. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed a strong conceptual convergence between Character Education and Civic Education through themes such as morality, citizenship, civic virtues, democracy, and civic engagement. These findings confirm that both domains have evolved as complementary educational frameworks for fostering ethical reasoning, civic responsibility, and democratic participation in contemporary society.]]>
