Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that immerses learners in real-world problems to develop essential skills like self-directed learning, critical thinking, and teamwork. PBL has shown to be especially effective in fostering lifelong learning, a vital skill in today’s rapidly evolving world. By engaging learners in practical, collaborative problem-solving, PBL not only improves immediate academic outcomes but also equips individuals with competencies essential for continuous personal and professional growth. This bibliometric study aims to map and analyze research trends, key themes, and influential authors in the implementation of PBL within lifelong learning contexts, offering insights into the field’s intellectual structure and future research directions. Using Scopus as the primary database, this study applied a systematic search strategy focusing on publications related to PBL and lifelong learning from 2019 to 2024. The search yielded 265 relevant articles, and data analysis involved descriptive statistics, citation analysis, and co-citation network mapping. Key bibliometric indicators were examined to identify the most influential authors, articles, and recurring themes in the literature. Additionally, the analysis highlights publication patterns, research dynamics, and identifies emerging areas of interest, such as the role of PBL in enhancing long-term knowledge retention and teamwork skills for real-world applications. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between PBL and lifelong learning, providing educators, researchers, and policymakers with valuable insights into the development of educational frameworks that support sustainable learning. This study not only underscores the importance of PBL in building adaptable and resilient learners but also offers guidance for future research, particularly in exploring new approaches to integrating PBL for lifelong learning in diverse educational and professional environments.
