ABSTRACT
This study aims to describe the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) research pattern in physics education based on the Scopus database. The method used is bibliometric analysis with the VOSviewer application and data processing with Microsoft Excel. The data are taken from Scopus metadata in the last twenty years, from 2012 to 2021. The analysis shows that the last ten years of research concerted on the components of the SWH (first cluster), the material tested on the SWH (second cluster), the argumentative component of the SWH (third cluster), the heuristic component of the SWH (fourth cluster), the SWH learning model (fifth cluster). The last two clusters are only a complement to the keywords of SWH. This research focuses on how to use SWH as effectively as possible in physics education. The SWH approach can enhance the capabilities of scientific processes in laboratories. The findings of this study can help related researchers to recognize SWH trends in physics education research overall and suggest directions for further investigation.
