Bibliometric Mapping of Augmented Reality in Indonesian Education: A Decade of Trends and Insights
Abstract
This study aims to map the development of Augmented Reality (AR) research in Indonesian education using a bibliometric approach. A total of 118 documents published between 2014 and 2024 were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer and R programming tools. The analysis identified key trends, research focuses, and emerging themes in the field. Results showed a significant annual publication growth rate of 27.91%, with increasing collaboration among national and international scholars. The most prominent research themes centered around AR as a learning medium, with emerging topics including teacher readiness, experiential learning, computational thinking, gamification, and digital literacy. These trends suggest a shift from technological novelty toward pedagogical integration and digital competence in educational practices. The study offers practical insights for educators, institutions, and policymakers in designing sustainable AR implementation strategies that align with Indonesia’s education context. Recommended actions include strengthening teacher training in digital pedagogy, developing localized AR content, and establishing supportive infrastructure policies. Limitations include the exclusive use of the Scopus database, which may have excluded local or non-indexed literature, potentially affecting the comprehensiveness of the results. Future studies should incorporate broader data sources and qualitative approaches to explore AR adoption at the classroom level.
