Trends topic, STEAM, Elementary school student, bibliometric analysisAbstract
Introduction: at the elementary school level, STEAM education as a further development of STEM is increasingly recognized as a transformative approach that offers several benefits.
Methods: the study used a type of analysis called a bibliometric analysis, which looks at the data in the Scopus database and gives us data about publication details, the countries and institutions involved, the authors who contributed the most, and the main trends in STEAM learning at elementary level. A study of 68 studies published between 2015 and 2024 using VOSviewer software.
Results: the study discovered that the United States is at the top of the list for several amount of research on this issue. Clemson University in the USA has published the highest number of articles on this topic. Herro, Daniel, from Michigan Technological University in the USA, wrote the most papers on this issue that other researchers have cited most often.
Conclusions: two recommended research trends are the integration of AI-based STEAM-based mobile learning and its impact on the cognitive load of elementary education students. Second, the integration of art aspects in robotics-based STEAM learning in elementary education is worthy of further study. These findings are of significant interest to the research community who want to explore further about STEAM in Elementary School.
