Abstract

The development of educational technology is driving the increased use of Game-Based Learning (GBL) as a learning strategy considered effective in supporting student learning achievement. Although numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of GBL, bibliometric studies mapping research trends and focuses in this field are still limited. This study uses bibliometric analysis to identify publication trends, dominant keywords, and research linkage patterns regarding GBL and student learning outcomes. Data was collected through Publish or Perish from Google Scholar using the keywords "game-based learning" AND "learning outcomes" with a publication range of 2020–2024, resulting in 199 articles analyzed using VOSviewer through network, overlay, and density visualization. The research findings indicate a significant increase in publications related to GBL and learning outcomes in 2023–2024, with a total of 199 articles and 7,985 citations. VOSviewer analysis identified 58 keywords divided into seven clusters, with key terms such as game, student, and learning outcome, indicating a strong focus on the effectiveness of GBL on learning achievement. This finding provides a comprehensive overview of the development of GBL research on learning outcomes, while also serving as a foundation for researchers and educators to develop more effective.
