Abstract


This study aims to analyze the development of research on the use of technology in education in Indonesia through a bibliometric approach. Using predefined keywords, a total of 50,563 publications were retrieved and then filtered using the PRISMA method, resulting in a final selection of 381 documents. After the screening and validation process, the documents were analyzed using the R Program to examine publication trends, three-field plot, word cloud, keyword evolution, and keyword novelty. The conclusion of this analysis is that the publication trend shows a significant increase in research on educational technology in Indonesia, with the highest number of publications occurring in 2024, indicating a strong and growing academic focus on this field in recent years. The results of Indonesian publications focus on the development and application of technology in the context of education, especially at the level of formal institutions and digital learning processes. This focus reflects a strong concern for the integration of technology in the education system and efforts to improve the quality and access to learning through digital innovation. The Word Cloud and keyword evolution together indicate that research on technology in education has progressed from an initial focus on digitalization and remote learning toward more complex, theoretical, and contextual approaches, reflecting a maturation and diversification of research themes over time. Based on the visualization of keyword evolution, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Augmented Reality” are recommended as potential future research directions due to their strong continuity from the previous period and their recent emergence in 2025, signaling increasing relevance, innovation, and growing interest in immersive and intelligent technologies within technology-based education.
