<![CDATA[Civic Education is a crucial institutional foundation for cultivating critical and responsible citizens, particularly amidst contemporary challenges such as disinformation and ideological polarization. This study aims to map the intellectual structure and evolutionary trends in research concerning Civic Education and Democratic Literacy, specifically identifying research gaps in studies conducted within the Indonesian context. A bibliometric analysis was employed on 86 Scopus-indexed documents comprising 74 journal articles and 12 conference proceedings published between 2021 and 2025, using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software.

Major thematic clusters reveal digital citizenship and blended learning as key emerging trends. The study recommends increasing inter-cluster collaboration and implementing large-scale empirical studies to test the effectiveness of new learning models in enhancing democratic competence.]]>
