Bibliometric Analysis: Local Wisdom-Based Arts Learning in Elementary Schools

Abstract

This research analyzes local wisdom-based arts learning in elementary schools through a bibliometric analysis approach, considering the importance of arts education in shaping students' character and cultural identity amidst the influence of globalization. The aims of this study is to identify trends, contributions, and gaps in research related to local wisdom-based arts learning. The method used is bibliometric analysis with data collected from journal publications and articles between 2020 and 2024, the year 2025 was not included in the study because at the time the data collection process was carried out, that year was still ongoing, so the number of publications indexed in the scientific database was not yet complete. Analyzed using PoP and VOSviewer software. The results show that despite the increase in the number of publications in 2024, there is great potential to develop a contextual and relevant curriculum in arts education. The implication of this finding is the need to integrate local wisdom into the curriculum to enrich students' learning experiences and increase their cultural awareness, as well as encourage community involvement in the learning process. This study is expected to open opportunities for further research in this area.
