Purpose - Ethno-STEAM integrates cultural knowledge with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics to provide contextualized and meaningful interdisciplinary learning. This study aims to map research trends and learning outcomes associated with Ethno-STEAM implementation in Scopus-indexed publications. Methodology - A bibliometric design was employed using 284 Scopus-indexed publications retrieved through a structured keyword search. Data were analyzed using ScientoPy for publication performance, citations, geographical distribution, and research characteristics, complemented by keyword co-occurrence, thematic clustering, and temporal evolution analyses. Selected studies were examined to identify associated learning outcomes. Findings - Research increased substantially during 2022–2025, with journal articles showing the strongest growth. Indonesia was the leading contributor, followed by Malaysia. Dominant themes included project-based learning, critical thinking, STEM, ethnoscience, creative thinking, and science learning, while problem-based learning, educational technology, science education, and local wisdom emerged as growing areas. Reported outcomes included critical and creative thinking, problem solving, higher-order thinking, literacy, digital competencies, cultural awareness, character development, and ecological awareness. Novelty - This study provides an integrated Scopus-based mapping of Ethno-STEAM implementation, research trends, thematic development, and learning outcomes. Significance - The findings benefit researchers, educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers in advancing culturally grounded interdisciplinary education.
