Abstract

The project-based learning (PjBL) paradigm is often considered the most advanced in vocational education. The increasing use of the PjBL paradigm in vocational education is an intriguing topic of study. In line with the rapid growth of information technology, it enables PjBL in vocational education to help students develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. In this study, a bibliometric method is used to provide insight into the structure of the subject, social networks, research trends, and issues reflecting project-based learning in vocational education. On November 27, 2022, the Scopus database was searched using project-based learning terms in the title. The second search field appears in the title, abstract, and keywords vocational education or TVET, restricted to journal articles or proceedings and in English to keep them current. This analysis revealed 60 articles in Scopus-indexed journals and proceedings between 2010 and 2022. Dwi Agus Sudjimat from Malang State University, Indonesia, was the most prolific author, having authored four articles on the subject. Indonesia is the nation investing the most in developing PjBL models. According to the thematic data, project-based learning is located in the first quadrant, has high centrality and density, and has well-developed questions related to the study topic. The results of this study show that the project-based learning model that is evolving in vocational education is likely to continue to be an important teaching approach in this field.
