Abstract

The development of technology has implications for learning technology, such as using 3D printing technology in education as a learning medium. 3D printing has become one of the media that helps students actively develop visualization skills, improve their understanding of learning concepts, and acquire skills through knowledge. Based on the results of science-based learning research, learning will be more effective with authentic learning. 3D printing can be used to provide authentic learning for students. To find out more about how 3D printing is effective in science learning, it is necessary to review and analyze research publications that discuss 3D printing in science education. The purpose of this study is to find out the research trends in 3D printing in science education and the new research opportunities in 3D printing in science education. The research method is biometric analysis using the Vos viewer application. The results of the analysis of meta-data obtained from Scopus show an increase in the trend of 3D printing research in science education. Research trends with the latest publications on 3D printing are found in applied science education, namely medical education, the field of medicine, and anatomy. Based on Vos viewer's visualization, keywords that are very weakly connected to 3D printing and related to science learning include critical thinking, experimentation, physics, and chemistry. This indicates that 3D printing research with these keywords can be follow-up research that is useful for science education.
