Abstract


The purpose of this research is to find out the development of research on the computational thinking and mathematical thinking skills of elementary school students. The method used in this study uses a bibliometric approach based on computational mapping analysis assisted by VOSviewer, based on searches from the Google Scholar database, and the title of the article is used as a guide in the search process which is obtained from the keyword "Computational thinking and Mathematical thinking in Elementary Schools". From the search results, 996 articles were obtained from search results on Google Scholar using Publish or Perish that were relevant to the computational thinking and mathematical thinking of elementary school from the last 10 years (2014-2024). The results showed a decline in research related to elementary school students' computational thinking and mathematical thinking. From the analysis of articles using VOSviewer, the development of publications occurred in 2015-2016, from 78 to 112 publications, but decreased in 2022 to 60 publications. In 2013 there was an increase in the number of publications, namely 137 articles published on Google Scholar. From 2013 to 2022, the number of articles on the topic of computational thinking and mathematical thinking to decline. The conclusions of this study will be a new object for researchers in conducting research that will be related to computational thinking and mathematical thinking with different variables, especially in elementary schools.
