Abstract

This study examines the development of Islamic education research in Indonesia through a bibliometric approach, focusing on publication trends, keyword evolution, thematic clustering, and research innovation. Data were collected from the Scopus database and systematically filtered using the PRISMA method, resulting in 250 relevant documents selected from a larger corpus. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the R Program to explore publication patterns, keyword dynamics, and thematic development over time, while VOSviewer was employed to visualize research clusters and identify emerging topics. Results show significant growth in Islamic education research since 2019, with increasing thematic diversity covering curriculum management, social change, and digital technology integration. The appearance of keywords like “Adversity Quotient” and “Online Learning” indicates a shift toward improving student resilience and adopting tech-based teaching methods. This innovation reflects how current Islamic education research in Indonesia is addressing post-pandemic challenges and accelerating digital transformation by incorporating emotional intelligence and technological skills. These trends align with national education reforms, such as the freedom to learn policy and Deep Learning integration, which promote deep understanding, conceptual mastery, and meaningful learning. The study highlights the need to develop a deep learning approach that encourages character building, creativity, and resilience through cross-disciplinary efforts, ensuring curricula meet 21st–century learning needs. Future research should aim to combine traditional Islamic values with technological advances using Deep Learning frameworks to boost academic success, character, and creativity, supporting Indonesia’s vision of cultivating a globally competitive, adaptable Golden Generation by 2045.
