PEMETAAN PENELITIAN TENTANG MEDIA SOSIAL DAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR DALAM KONTEKS PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAMNIM.: 22204012049Muhammad Hibban WijdanauthorResearch on social media and learning motivation is constantly evolving, but mapping publication trends, conceptual structures, and scientific collaborations remains limited. So far, the research has mostly been conducted using an empirical approach to test the influence, relationship, or effectiveness of social media on learning motivation. This condition results in a lack of a comprehensive scientific mapping of publications development, main themes, relationships between concepts, themes evolution, and the intellectual foundations that make up the field of study. This study aims to identify the dominant themes, analyze the development of research, and and analyze scientific collaboration, publications related to social media and learning motivation in the context of Islamic Religious Education. This study uses a quantitative approach with bibliometric analysis. The data source was obtained from the Scopus database with no age restrictions, using the keywords “social media” AND “learning motivation” OR “motivation to learn” OR “student motivation.” A total of 131 English-language articles were analyzed using the biblioshiny tool from the Bibliometrix package in RStudio to map collaboration networks, knowledge structures, thematic evolutions, and publication trends. The results show that social media is the most dominant theme in publications that connects motivation, higher education, educational innovation, and learning. The number of publications has increased, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The distribution of research publications: Developed countries still dominate the distribution of research publications, while research focusing on the context of Islamic Religious Education has not been found. Collaboration between authors and institutions is still limited and has not created a strong network of international cooperation. The findings of this study present a conceptual structure in the form of mapping the organizational structure, scientific collaboration, and analyzing the direction of research development in accordance with Islamic religious education.297.77 Pendidikan Agama Islam (Sekolah Islam, Pondok Pesantren, TPA, TPQ)2026-08-19UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU TARBIYAH DAN KEGURUANThesis
