Critical Thinking Skills on Physics Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Bibliometric Analysis using VOSViewer

Abstract

Abstract Critical thinking skills (CTS) are still one of the research trends in this decade, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research will focus on generating a profile of CTS on physics learning during COVID-19 pandemic based on bibliometric analysis using VOSViewer. The findings indicated there were some parameters or interrelationships among variables to capture current and future trend of CTS on physics learning, such as analysis, implementation, effectiveness, effect, development, and technology. The research implications are supported by recent research: (1) These findings will provide an empirical basis for the development of physics education research, especially online physics learning during the COVID-19 pandemic to practice CTS; (2) CTS can still be a research trend in the latest research; (3) Digitization of physics learning is becoming a trend to be carried out gradually and continuously.
