Abstract

One of the main goals of science education is to create a young generation who has adequate scientific literacy skills. This study aims to analyze research trends, implications of empirical research, and review and bibliometric analysis of scientific literacy in science education. The research method used is a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis with Biblioshiny software. Data were obtained from SCOPUS and Web of Science (WoS) from 2014 to August 2024. The data selection process was carried out using PRISMA, with which 140 documents were obtained. The research trend of scientific literacy in science education shows an increase. Empirical research has been carried out by countries such as the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia. Article review in science learning towards scientific literacy has been developed using various methods. Bibliometric analysis shows three clusters of co-occurrences including educational literacy, scientific literacy, and human. The visual representation of the scope of scientific literacy can develop along with the development of science content and context in life. Future research can conduct empirical research that focuses on developing learning strategies and assessments as well as conducting critical review research to optimize research on scientific literacy. © 2025 Sociedad Mexicana de Fisica.
