Abstract

Trends in STEAM research continue to change from year to year, it is necessary to map the STEAM-inquiry research landscape to improve problem solving skills with large databases using bibliometric analysis with comparative review. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the comparison of research developments with the topic of STEAM-inquiry in improving problem solving skills. The study used a comparative bibliometric analysis method with databases from Google Scholar and Scopus with steps of preparation and data collection, data processing I, data processing II, data analysis, and drawing conclusion. Collecting and processing data using Publish or Perish, Zotero and VOSviewers applications. The results showed that there were 1053 papers which were separated into 3 periods and classified into 7 dependent variables. Visualization analysis shows that STEAM-inquiry has been researched in the same research but is separate from inquiry, research trends from year to year between databases have different scopes, and further research deepens the research theme in yellow clusters in each database.

Keywords: bibliometrics analysis- comparative review- STEAM-Inquiry- problem solving skills.
