Abstract
Although the integration of technology and local culture in education has received considerable attention in various studies, systematic reviews that specifically map research trends on ethnoscience-based physics e-modules remain limited. This study aimed to analyze research trends on ethnoscience-based physics e-modules in the 2015–2025 period by highlighting publication patterns, research methods, and the cultural contexts examined. A qualitative approach was employed with a systematic literature review (SLR) design guided by the PRISMA protocol on 100 documents retrieved from Google Scholar, which were analyzed using bibliometric analysis and content analysis. The findings show a significant increase in the number of publications, peaking in 2023–2024, with the majority published as SINTA-indexed journal articles. The most dominant research method was research and development (R&D) (59%), while the cultural elements most frequently integrated originated from Sumatra (55%), whereas regions such as Lombok, Papua, and Kalimantan remained relatively underrepresented. These findings contribute to the development of culturally responsive pedagogy theory and broaden understanding of the integration of educational technology within diverse cultural contexts. The study concludes that ethnoscience-based e-modules constitute a growing and strategic field of inquiry and encourages researchers, educators, and curriculum developers to design e-modules that integrate understudied local wisdom using more diverse research methodologies. The implications of this study include the formulation of a roadmap for future research and practical guidelines for developing inclusive and locally relevant digital teaching materials, while also opening opportunities for further exploration of the long-term effects of ethnoscience e-modules on higher-order thinking skills and their scalability across various educational settings.
