Insight into the Bibliometric Data: An Analysis of the Correlation of Dominating Learning Types and Thinking Styles

Author(s): Hasanuddin

 This paper is aimed to provide a clear insight into the use of bibliometric data as a meaningful tool to analyze thinking and learning styles as well as their correlations to understand a constructive web-based learning model. The study employed a quantitative analysis through a cross-tabulation calculation with contingency coefficient-test statistical approaches using participants of 524 undergraduate students. Furthermore, bibliometric analysis was carried out using 228 research articles that were obtained from the Scopus database from 2004 to 2021. Results exhibited there were two dominating approaches in learning types, namely collaborative type and competitive type, in which the collaborative type might represent a more strongly high-weighted category as compared with the competitive one. On the other hand, the executive style had been found as the most dominating thinking style relative to the global style. It is worth noting that this study also indicated the most influential authors, journals, institutions, and countries about the research field of learning and thinking models, along with some possible research directions in the future.
