Abstract

This study aims to examine the evolution of Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) research in education through a bibliometric approach. The study analyzes scientific publications indexed in major academic databases over a specific period using bibliometric techniques such as co-occurrence, overlay visualization, and density mapping through VOSviewer software. The results show that HOTS research has experienced significant development, with a primary focus on pedagogical aspects, particularly on students, learning strategies, and critical thinking. The co-occurrence analysis reveals that core themes such as higher-order thinking skills, students, and education dominate the research landscape, reflecting a significant focus on the learning process. Temporal visualization reveals a shift from basic educational concepts to more innovative approaches such as problem-based learning and technology-based learning. Recent trends demonstrate increasing attention to the integration of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence and deep learning, in HOTS development. Meanwhile, the density analysis indicates that although traditional pedagogical themes remain dominant, new topics related to technology and assessment offer broad research opportunities. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive mapping of the intellectual structure and trends of HOTS research and suggests directions for future research in educational innovation and policy.

Abstract

This study aims to map the intellectual structure of early childhood education research through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Scopus. The data were collected using relevant keywords such as “early childhood education,” “preschool education,” and “early learning,” within a specified time frame. The bibliographic data were analyzed using VOSviewer to examine co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence patterns, citation structures, and the temporal evolution of research themes. The results reveal that early childhood education research is characterized by three major interconnected clusters: educational practices, child development and health, and epidemiological or longitudinal studies. The findings also indicate a clear shift in research focus over time, from health-oriented and developmental perspectives toward more education-centered themes such as teaching, preschool systems, and early learning environments. Density analysis further highlights core research areas alongside emerging topics, including mental health and gender, which remain relatively underexplored. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive and systematic overview of the knowledge structure and development of early childhood education research, offering valuable insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers in identifying research gaps and future directions.
