Abstract
The rapid development of technology and information has provided opportunities for the current education system. The world of education has implemented technology as indicated by the existence of electronic learning, blended learning, online learning resources, and technology-based learning media. Sophisticated technology can be utilized by educators as an approach that is believed to be very helpful in the learning process, namely digital or online learning. An approach that can assist the implementation of the online learning process is the STEM approach. This study aims to analyze trends in STEM research using bibliometric studies and explore the contributions of Indonesian researchers in the Scopus database from 2020 to 2022. The data obtained are 12 journals and 125 proceedings. The results showed that journals covering STEM experienced an increase in 2020 to 2021. The most contributing journal affiliate was Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, followed by Universitas Sebelas Maret. In Indonesia, the most dominating source of publications discussing this topic is the Journal of Physics Conference Series. Most of the prolific writers writing papers on this topic are Parno at the State University of Malang. The research findings provide relevant researchers to recognize STEM trends and recommend directions for other STEM-related variables.
