Abstract


This study aims to analyze the trends in scientific publications and the direction of research on the implementation of Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulations in physics education during the 2014–2024 period. A bibliometric approach was employed by analyzing 22 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Publication data were collected through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP), exported in Research Information System (RIS) format, and analyzed using VOSviewer to map keyword co-occurrence, publication trends, and research clusters. The bibliometric analysis was complemented by content analysis to identify the research focus and main findings of each article. The results indicate a positive development in publications on PhET implementation over the last decade, with research predominantly focusing on the effectiveness of PhET in improving conceptual understanding, learning outcomes, learning motivation, and student engagement in physics learning. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that studies integrating PhET with innovative learning models and other digital technologies remain limited, indicating opportunities for future research. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for researchers and educators in developing more innovative technology-based physics learning that aligns with the demands of 21st-century education
