Abstract

The integration of local wisdom into educational processes has garnered significant attention due to its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its ability to enhance culture-based learning. This bibliometric study examines the trends and mapping of local wisdom research in education by analysing publications and citations from Scopus-indexed journals between 2020 and 2024. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria from a total of 811 articles, 115 relevant articles were obtained using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software. Furthermore, all selected articles will be further analysed using VOSviewer software. The key metrics analysed include author contributions, keyword distributions, and geographical locations of research activity. Our findings indicate a growing global interest in local wisdom, with Indonesia leading the contributions, followed by significant inputs from the United States and Australia. The study highlights prominent authors and collaborative networks, revealing a central role for Indonesian researchers in advancing this field. The results suggest that integrating local wisdom in education not only supports cultural heritage preservation but also fosters educational relevance and sustainability. Because this research is limited to the Scopus indexed article database only, in the future researchers can use additional reputable indexed journal article databases such as Web of Science to improve this bibliometric research. Educational policies can be designed to use local wisdom as one of the inclusive education programmes for student character development to overcome social and cultural gaps among students.
