Abstract

Advance organizers are a learning model introduced by David Ausubel that facilitate meaningful learning by helping learners relate new knowledge to their existing cognitive schemas. As education, technology, and 21st-century learning needs continue to evolve, research on this model continues to develop. This study aims to specifically map research trends and dominant topics over the past two decades. This study employs a bibliometric approach, utilizing article metadata extracted from the SCOPUS database. A total of 82 English-language articles from journal sources were obtained. The results show that the publication trend has been increasing since 2017, with a peak in 2019. The co-occurrence map produced four main clusters. Studies over the past 20 years linking advance organizers to learning outcomes have focused more on university-level education. It was found that male students benefited more from the application of advance organizers. © 2026, FACTEACHEREDUCATION. All rights reserved.
