Mapping the Integration of Ethnoscience in Science Education: A Systematic Literature Review (2019–2025)

Aug 2026 · International Journal of Social Learning (IJSL) · Vol 6, pp. 583-606 · 0 citations · 56 references

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development, trends, and research directions of ethnoscience in science education over the past six years (2019–2025) through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 28 Scopus-indexed articles were selected and analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The findings show a steady annual growth rate of 12.25% in publications, with Indonesia emerging as a major contributor and knowledge hub. Thematic shifts indicate a transition from local culture-based teaching materials to broader focuses on scientific literacy, critical thinking, and culturally contextualized learning. Core themes include scientific literacy, critical thinking, and local wisdom, while recent studies highlight increasing attention to digital integration in ethnoscience learning. However, gaps remain in the digital transformation of ethnoscience and its interdisciplinary integration, suggesting opportunities for future research to expand its impact and relevance in modern science education.
