A Bibliometric Review of Research on Education for Sustainable Development, 2019-2023
Keywords:
Education for Sustainable Development, Sustainable Development, Bibliometric, ReviewAbstract
This study aims to reveal research trends in education for sustainable development (ESD). Through bibliometric studies with the SLR method using the Scopus database from 2019 to 2023, researchers can explore the contributions to the world. Overall, with the keyword ‘education for sustainable development’, 3,247 articles were obtained in journal form. The results of the study show that scientific publications about ESD have relatively increased. After filtering with certain criteria, 60 articles were obtained. Sweden contributed the most documents on ESD, and the Futur Institute from Germany predominated in publications. The most contributed author is Gericle n. The research trends on ESD are grouped into five clusters, namely 1) ESD in the scope of learning; 2) ESD on educational programs and policies; 3) ESD linked to learning and teaching in practice; 4) ESD related to achievements or competencies in continuous learning; and 5) ESD related to continuous evaluation. Research findings can help researchers to know trends of ESD research and recommend directions for further research
