Abstract
This study aims to determine research trends in the field of nature of science in physics education in the period 2017-2022. The method used is bibliometric analysis assisted by Vos Viewer technology. The data is obtained by typing keywords in the form of nature of science in physics learning in the Scholar search in the Publish or Perish application. The data collected is in the form of articles, which is limited to 199 articles, consisting of 2 articles in 2022, 13 articles in 2021, 35 articles in 2020, 52 articles in 2019, 48 articles in 2018, and 49 articles in 2017. The data is inputted into the Vos Viewer in RIS format and then mapped based on the density visualization. As a result, according to Vos Viewer, there are quite a number of objects that must be investigated further in the field of the nature of science in physics learning, including: critical thinking, learning process, project, strategy, effectiveness, conception, natural science, science process skill, scientific inquiry, ability, implementation, and more. This means that there are many research objects in this field that still need to be explored further.
