Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications regarding web-based e-modules in science education over the 2017–2026 period. Data were retrieved from the Dimensions.ai database (830 publications) and Google Scholar (859 publications), subsequently analyzed using VOSviewer software to identify publication trends, country contributions, collaboration patterns, and keyword clusters. The results indicate a significant increase in the number of publications, particularly since 2020 due to the acceleration of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching a peak in 2025. Indonesia dominates in terms of publication volume (210 documents), followed by the United States and China, although the latter two countries exhibit higher citation impacts and collaboration strengths. Keyword analysis reveals a primary focus on the integration of web technology with innovative pedagogical approaches such as STEM, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), augmented reality, Google Sites, flipbooks, and the development of 21st-century skills (critical thinking, self-regulation, digital literacy, and ethnoscience). The trends have evolved from simple material digitalization toward interactive, adaptive, and student-centered learning ecosystems, including the integration of AI, gamification, and local wisdom. This research identifies gaps such as the lack of equitable international collaboration, a shortage of long-term evaluations, and the limited integration of advanced technologies. Consequently, it is recommended that future bibliometric approaches be integrated with empirical and longitudinal studies. Furthermore, to enhance citation impact and research quality, Indonesian researchers must strengthen international collaborations through cross-country research, joint publications in high-impact journals, and active engagement in global research networks to match the academic influence held by the United States and China. Overall, web-based e-modules have become a key innovation in the transformation of science education toward learning that is more effective, inclusive, and relevant to the demands of the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze trends and developments in research on augmented reality (AR) in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education during the 2012–2021 period through a descriptive bibliometric analysis approach. Data were obtained from the Dimensions.ai and Publish or Perish (PoP) database using the keyword combination "augmented reality" and "STEM education," yielding 127,096 publications analyzed using VOSviewer software for keyword network visualization, density mapping, and temporal overlay. Results indicate significant publication growth, peaking in 2020 (18,717 publications) and 2021 (18,223 publications), reflecting the academic response to post-pandemic digital acceleration. Book chapters dominate publication types (41.35%), while Lecture Notes in Computer Science constitutes the most prolific source. SDG analysis reveals the dominance of SDG 4: Quality Education (7,232 publications). Keyword cluster mapping identifies four dominant research themes: clinical applications, technology intervention design, empirical testing, and learner-centered formal education, with student, intervention, and science as the most central thematic nodes. These findings confirm that AR research in STEM education has shifted from a technical orientation toward pedagogical integration centered on student learning impact.

Abstract

Physics learning requires both conceptual understanding and procedural skills in conducting experiments. However, limited laboratory facilities often become an obstacle in implementing practicum activities, so virtual laboratories are used as an alternative to support experimental learning. This study aims to analyze students’ conceptual and procedural errors in conducting virtual laboratory–based experiments in physics learning through a literature review. The method employed is a literature study by examining 15 relevant scientific journal articles. The results show that conceptual errors include misconceptions of physics concepts, difficulties in relating simulations to theory, and errors in interpreting experimental results. Meanwhile, procedural errors include inaccuracies in following experimental steps, mistakes in setting variables, and difficulties in analyzing data. Therefore, appropriate instructional strategies are needed, such as structured scaffolding, clear experimental guidelines, conceptual discussions before and after practicum, and teacher guidance during the use of virtual laboratories. Thus, the proper use of virtual laboratories can enhance students’ conceptual understanding and experimental skills.
