Abstract


This study aims to analyze trends and discuss future career expectations and interests in science education through a bibliometric approach based on Scopus data (2019-2024). Using the PRISMA method, 363 selected articles were analyzed through VOSviewer and Excel to map publication dynamics, citations, collaboration between countries, and research focus. Results showed a significant increase in publications since 2019, with a peak in 2023-2024 due to technology adoption during the transition period since the onset of the pandemic. The United States is one of the countries with the highest number of publications (3 documents). The highest-cited publication was an article by Lent and Brown (2019) in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, which received 285 citations. This article discusses the development of Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) over the past 25 years and evaluates the empirical status of the theory's interest, choice, and performance models. From 2019 to 2022, the number of documents recorded was relatively stable, with slight fluctuations around 55-57. This indicates that during this period, interest in continuing education or career expectations tended to stagnate without any significant increase. However, there was a drastic spike from 2023 to 2024, where the number of documents increased sharply from around 55 to over 80.
