Abstract
This study aims to examine research trends and developments related to the use of technology for improving educational quality by Indonesian researchers through a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed publications. A total of 617 documents were retrieved through a PRISMA-based screening procedure and analyzed using Biblioshiny (R) and VOSviewer. The findings indicate a substantial increase in publication output between 2019 and 2025, reaching its highest level in 2025. Padang State University recorded the highest affiliation occurrence in the dataset, while Habibi Akhmad was identified as the most productive author with the highest local h-index. The International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning emerged as one of the leading publication sources, recording the highest local h-index among journals in the dataset. Highly cited publications were predominantly associated with the "Technology Acceptance Model" (TAM). Keyword and thematic analyses revealed the continued prominence of “Educational Technology”, “Digital Learning”, and “Higher Education”. Overlay visualization identified “Machine Learning” and “Digital Competence” as emerging themes, while “Mathematics Education” and “Instructional Design" demonstrated increasing research attention in recent years. These findings highlight the rapid growth and diversification of educational technology research in Indonesia and provide valuable insights for future research and policy development toward achieving quality education.
