Research Trend on Ethnomathematics from 2012 To 2022: A Bibliometric Analysis

This paper aims to provide research trends in ethnomathematics from 2012 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis in the Google Scholar database. The sample consisted of 994 documents extracted from the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software, which was then analyzed and visualized using Ms.Excel and VoSViewer. The findings revealed an increase in the number of scholarly articles on ethnomathematics. It was discovered that there were five types of documents associated with ethnomathematics research, with journals dominating. The Journal of Physics: Conference Series was a prestigious conference series that included ethnomathematics publications. The visualization of ethnomathematics research trend resulted in four clusters: (1) ethnomathematics practice in the educational landscape, (2) ethnomathematics exploration in learning mathematics, (3) ethnomathematics related to learning materials, and (4) ethnomathematics domain in teaching approach and teaching materials. Cluster 4 provides opportunities for future ethnomathematics research. Researchers could use the findings of this study to identify the global trend of ethnomathematics research and recommend future research directions.
