Bibliometric Analysis in Chemistry Education: Exploring System Thinking Skill in Water Treatment

Risti Ragadhita, Asep Bayu Dani Nandiyanto, Tedi Kurniawan

Abstract


This study employs a bibliometric analysis approach to map the scientific literature related to chemistry education and systems thinking skills development in the context of water treatment. We used VOSviewer with the keyword “System AND Thinking”, “Chemistry”, and “Education” to support our database analysis from Scopus. The analysis examines key publications, influential authors, and emerging trends in the field, highlighting the growing importance of system thinking skills in addressing environmental challenges. By incorporating system thinking skills into educational practices, students can develop a holistic understanding of complex systems and their interdependencies. The findings emphasize the potential of such educational strategies to equip learners with the analytical tools necessary for solving real-world problems, such as designing sustainable water treatment solutions. This study offers insights into curriculum development and pedagogical approaches, advocating for the alignment of sustainability education with industry and societal needs.
