Abstract
Objective: The present research aims to analyze the development, trends, and intellectual structure of research on the role of local wisdom approaches in character building among students through a bibliometric study. Method: Bibliometric analysis using Scopus-indexed publication data for the 2014–2024 period. Data were obtained through a search using the keywords "local wisdom" and "character", resulting in 87 documents that met the analysis criteria. Results: Data processing was carried out using Microsoft Excel for frequency analysis and descriptive statistics, and VOSviewer to map collaboration networks and keyword relationships. The results show that publications on local wisdom and character education experienced a significant upward trend, peaking in 2020. Indonesia had the highest number of publications, while Ganesha University of Education and I Wayan Suastra were the most productive institutions and authors, respectively. Keyword network analysis identified three main clusters: character education and learning, local culture-based character education, and character building through local wisdom. The findings also indicate that the integration of local culture into character education has become an increasingly dominant theme since 2021. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of using local wisdom values as a contextual character education strategy relevant to students' cultural identities. Novelty: Presentation of a comprehensive bibliometric mapping of the relationship between local wisdom and character education, while also identifying trends, key actors, and remaining research opportunities in this field.

The concept of local wisdom has become a significant strategic basis for culturally based education in Indonesia, though the structure of intellectual form and the developmental course of research in this area have yet to be fully synthesized. The paper explores the development and intellectual architecture of local wisdom research in Indonesian education between 2010 and 2025 through an inter-woven bibliometric and systematic approach. Based on PRISMA procedures, 132 studies were selected from 575 records of Scopus-indexed journal articles. The growth of publications, most popular journals, institutional productivity, and international contributions were analyzed using bibliometric mapping, and qualitative thematic synthesis identified the prevalent research clusters and theoretical orientations. According to the findings, a significant growth trend can be observed in recent years, and scholarship is concentrated mostly in Indonesian institutions, with a predominance of the sociocultural and constructivist approaches. Five important thematic areas were identified, reflecting an inclination toward pedagogical application. The paper finds that although the field is growing very fast, it is nationally confined and theoretically fragmented. This study provides intellectual scaffolding and strategic pathways for more rigorous and globally active scholarship by mapping the intellectual architecture of the field.

Introduction: Social studies education for students with special needs has become an increasingly important field of research as inclusive education advances. However, the temporal development of scientific production, prominent actors, and collaboration structures in this field have not been investigated comprehensively. This study aims to reveal the structural and trend-related characteristics of the field by analyzing the bibliometric properties of research published in this domain.Method: This study was a review based on bibliometric analysis. Publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection and published between 2000 and 2024 were included in the analysis. The literature search was conducted on March 19, 2025. Bibliometric analyses were carried out using the Bibliometrix package and VOSviewer software. Publication and citation trends, as well as country, institution, and author productivity and collaboration networks, were examined.Findings: The findings indicate a significant increase in publications over the past decade and reveal that scientific output is concentrated within a relatively small set of countries, institutions, and authors. Collaboration networks among authors and countries display a structure organized around central cores.Discussion: The results suggest that knowledge production in the field has not yet reached a fully integrated structure. Increasing international and interdisciplinary collaboration, encouraging research conducted across diverse educational contexts, and diversifying studies focused on inclusive social studies education are identified as key strategies to enhance the field’s scientific visibility and impact.

This analysis aims to identify and map the development and trends of special education research conducted by Indonesian researchers through a bibliometric approach, including publication productivity, collaboration patterns, citation dynamics, and thematic structure. Document selection was carried out using the PRISMA method using the keyword strategy “TITLE-ABS-KEY (“special education”) AND AFFILCOUNTRY (Indonesia)” within the Scopus database, resulting in a total of 101 documents being analyzed to ensure the substantive relevance and academic contributions of Indonesian researchers. Further analysis used the R Program and VOSviewer to generate primary dataset information, map keyword networks and clusters, and identify topic novelties in the field of special education in Indonesia. The bibliometric analysis concludes that special education research in Indonesia has shown a significant growth trend, is collaborative, and has become increasingly thematically diverse in recent years. Cluster mapping and keyword visualization reveal that the focus of studies extends beyond disability to include technology integration, strengthening pedagogical foundations, and the dynamics of inclusive assessment and practice. Furthermore, the novelty analysis indicates the emergence of new themes such as “Early Childhood Education”, “Scientific Literacy”, and “Autism Spectrum Disorder”, which signal a more specific direction for research development. However, integration with the deep learning approach, a priority of national education policy, remains underexplored. Therefore, more systematic and strategic follow-up research is needed to strengthen academic contributions while aligning with the educational transformation agenda in Indonesia.
