Islamic Values in Mathematics Education: A Bibliometric Analysis with Emphasis on Educational Management Trends. Al-Tanzim: Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam, 9. , 1231-1245. INTRODUCTION Islamic values-based mathematics education has emerged as an increasingly prominent approach within the framework of holistic education (Aksan et al. , 2023. Amin, 2024. Hadi, 2. This approach aims not only to enhance academic competence but also to shape students' character through the integration of moral and spiritual (Enizah et al. , 2024. Hamdanah & Crismono. Setiawan et al. , 2025. Ulpah et al. , 2. Nevertheless, despite numerous studies exploring the integration of religious values in education, the specific linkage between Islamic values, mathematics learning, and the implementation of modern educational management methods has not yet been comprehensively The existing literature remains scattered and lacks a systematic structure, limiting a holistic understanding of how Islamic values can be effectively integrated into mathematics education, particularly in addressing global challenges such as STEM literacy and the digital transformation of education (Yulia et al. , 2024. Elbashir et al. , 2024. Nu'man, 2. Educational management aspects, such as value-based curriculum development, instructional leadership, and the formulation of policies that are adaptive to the context of Islamic values (Rahman, 2025. Sa'adi, 2025. Surahman & Nayla, 2. , constitute crucial elements that have yet to be thoroughly explored in related research The integration of Islamic values into mathematics education is crucial, as it not only enhances students' critical thinking skills but also provides a relevant cultural and spiritual context. Moreover, global trends such as technology-based learning, student-centered approaches, and interdisciplinary education require adaptation within a framework of values and an educational management system that aligns accordingly (Ikhwan et al. , 2020. Elbashir et al. , 2024. Hudi et , 2025. Maghfiroh. Dahri, & Yakoh, 2025. Vasinayanuwatana, 2. However, there exists a significant research gap, particularly in the visual and systematic mapping of the interconnections among Islamic values, mathematics education, and educational management. Previous studies have rarely employed bibliometric approaches to illustrate the intensity of connections between themes and research trends within this domain (Azis et al. , 2022. Fatimah et al. , 2. This study offers novelty by employing a bibliometric approach with VOSviewer software to map research trends, assess the intensity of keyword interrelations, and identify the main themes in Islamic values-based mathematics Al-Tanzim : Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index education. Additionally, it explores the potential integration of Islamic values with modern learning approaches, such as blended learning and cooperative learning, managed within an adaptive and progressive educational management By bridging traditional and modern approaches, this research provides deeper insights into how Islamic values can contribute to addressing global challenges, such as interdisciplinary education and digital literacy, within the context of visionary educational management. In practice, the study offers guidance to educators and policymakers on designing value-based curricula and policies integrated with innovative teaching The policy implications of this research include recommendations for policymakers to develop globally relevant, value-based models of mathematics education, supported by collaborative, context-sensitive educational management systems. This study investigates the interrelationships among the concepts of "Islamic", "Mathematics", and "Education" within the framework of value-based education, employing bibliometric techniques and visual network mapping. Using VOSviewer software, the research identifies mathematics education as the central thematic node that bridges Islamic values with modern pedagogical strategies, such as blended and student-centered learning. The study further explores how integrating Islamic values into contemporary learning models enhances the relevance and responsiveness of mathematics education within educational management systems. Keyword density visualization reveals a concentration of scholarly attention on character education. STEM, and collaborative learning, highlighting a shift toward interdisciplinary, spiritually integrated learning approaches. Additionally, the heatmap analysis of author contributions reveals a balanced ecosystem of specialists and generalists, whose diverse scholarly interests significantly shape the direction of educational Altogether, the findings underscore the growing maturity of Islamic values-based mathematics education as a holistic, globally relevant paradigm that harmonizes cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions in shaping future-oriented educational policies. This study aims to explore how Islamic values are integrated into mathematics education and how this integration shapes contemporary educational management within a value-based education framework. Specifically, the study seeks to identify and analyze the relationships among the concepts of "Islamic", "Mathematics", and "Education" through network It also aims to evaluate how incorporating Islamic values with modern learning strategies, such as technology-based and collaborative learning, can enhance the relevance and effectiveness of mathematics education in today's educational systems. Furthermore, the study intends to use heatmap visualization to map the intensity of keyword relationships, thereby identifying dominant themes and research trends. Finally, it examines the contributions of scholars in shaping the core themes of mathematics education, how these themes reflect the diversity of academic perspectives, and how they influence the development of value-based educational management policies. Al-Tanzim: Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index RESEARCH METHOD This study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze and visualize research trends on the integration of Islamic values into mathematics education (Donthu et al. , 2021. Gao et al. , 2. Bibliographic data were collected from the Scopus database using keywords such as Islamic. Mathematics, and Education, as Scopus is one of the most comprehensive and reputable sources of peerreviewed academic literature across disciplines. The use of bibliometric analysis was selected over other qualitative or purely quantitative methods because it enables the systematic mapping of publication trends, thematic developments, and authorial contributions within a large body of literature. This method is particularly well-suited for identifying research patterns and intellectual structures in emerging interdisciplinary fields such as Islamic-based mathematics education, where conceptual linkages and scholarly networks are complex and evolving. Additionally, tools like VOSviewer offer visual representations . , co-word networks and heatmap. that provide deeper insights into the intensity and direction of academic discourse that traditional content analysis alone cannot offer. The analyzed articles are publications relevant to the topic and published within the last 10 years . 4Ae2. Articles that lacked a substantive analysis of the relationship between Islamic values and mathematics education were excluded to ensure a precise focus and high-quality research outcomes. Figure 1. Bibliometric Workflow and Science Mapping The collected data were exported into a format compatible with VOSviewer software for bibliometric analysis. Data visualization was conducted through three types of maps: . Network visualization to map the relationships among keywords, . Overlay visualization to illustrate the evolution of topic trends over time, and . Density visualization to identify the intensity of connections in specific areas (Hashem et al. , 2023. Jing et al. , 2. Once the visual maps were generated, an in-depth analysis of key literature was conducted to explore the more nuanced interconnections between Islamic values and mathematics education. This analysis includes the identification of major themes such as Islamic values-based education, modern learning approaches like blended learning, and the integration of STEM in instruction. To ensure validity, both the visual maps and their interpretations were reviewed by education experts and relevant academics. This study uses Al-Tanzim : Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index VOSviewer for data visualization and Mendeley for reference management. The research employs three types of bibliometric visualizations Ai network, overlay, and density maps Ai each serving a distinct analytical purpose aligned with the research objectives. Network maps illustrate the structural relationships among keywords, enabling the identification of thematic clusters that reveal how concepts such as Islamic values, mathematics, and education are interconnected. This directly addresses the first research question by visualizing the conceptual links within the value-based education framework. Overlay maps build on this by incorporating a temporal dimension, showing the evolution of themes over time and indicating the integration of modern learning approaches such as technology-enhanced or collaborative learning. This helps to answer the second research question regarding the relevance and modernization of Islamic mathematics education. Meanwhile, density maps highlight the frequency and intensity of keyword co-occurrence, identifying dominant research foci and thematic gaps, thereby providing insights into the third research question on research intensity and hotspots. Together, these visual tools offer a holistic and nuanced understanding of the field, enabling both theoretical exploration and practical recommendations for advancing Islamic values-based mathematics education in modern educational systems. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Result Conceptual Network Analysis: The Relationship among AuIslamic,Ay AuMathematics,Ay and AuEducationAy in Value-Based Education. The conceptual network visualization from this bibliometric study highlights the strong interrelationship among the concepts of Islamic. Mathematics, and Education within the framework of value-based education. Based on mapping results from VOSviewer, the keyword' mathematics education' emerged as the central node in the network, indicating the dominant theme in the literature. This term is directly linked to keywords such as problemsolving in mathematics, geometry education, blended learning, and studentcentered learning, suggesting that modern pedagogical approaches are integral to mathematics instruction. In a separate cluster, concepts such as Islamic values. Islamic school, and Islamic boarding school form a distinct group, yet are closely connected to themes like character education and collaborative learning strategies such as cooperative learning. This reflects that Islamic values in mathematics education are not isolated but are integrated through active and contextual teaching methods. Interestingly, strategies such as blended learning and student-centered learning appear as conceptual bridges linking Islamic values with modern mathematics teaching practices. Their position between the two clusters underscores their central role in merging spiritual dimensions with the pedagogical demands of the 21st century.

Overlay Visualization of Research Trends: Integration of Islamic Values and Modern Approaches in Mathematics Education . 8Ae2. The overlay visualization from VOSviewer illustrates a growing integration between Islamic values and modern learning approaches in mathematics education, particularly during the 2021Ae2023 period. The yellow nodes associated with keywords such as Islamic values. Islamic school, and Islamic boarding school indicate that these themes represent relatively new and rapidly developing areas of research. Islamic values are no longer merely normative concepts. they have been actively embedded in instructional strategies such as student-centered, blended, and cooperative learning. This reflects an intentional effort to design mathematics instruction that addresses not only cognitive aspects but also affective and spiritual dimensions. The strong interconnection between Islamic values and modern pedagogical approaches has significant implications for educational First, education management must develop adaptive, contextspecific curricula that integrate mathematical content with reinforcement of Islamic moral and ethical values. Second, teachers are no longer just content deliverers but are also facilitators of values and learning innovators. Therefore, professional development programs should emphasize instructional leadership, enabling educators to implement value- and technology-based teaching in a balanced manner. Third, education policy should be informed by data and emerging trends, using tools such as bibliometric analysis and visualization to guide the direction of both academic literature and educational practice. Additionally, the visualization reveals connections to interdisciplinary approaches such as STEM, science, and environmental education, which are highlighted in yellow to indicate growing trends. This shows that the integration of Islamic values in mathematics education is not isolated but instead expands its scope into interdisciplinary and global educational landscapes. As such. Al-Tanzim: Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index education management systems must become more open to cross-disciplinary collaboration while maintaining a clear foundation of core values. This approach is capable of addressing contemporary educational challenges more holistically academically, morally, and spiritually. Keyword Density Map Visualization: Identifying Research Focus and Trends Figure 4. Keyword Density Map: Identifying Research Focus Areas in Islamic Values-Based Mathematics Education The keyword density map visualization using VOSviewer illustrates the focus and intensity of research trends within the domain of integrating Islamic values into mathematics education. In this map, yellow tones indicate areas of highest frequency and connectivity among terms, while green and blue shades represent lower-density zones. The brightest point centers on the keyword' mathematics education,' affirming its position as the thematic core of the literature and the central node linking diverse pedagogical approaches to religious values. In the network visualization produced by VOSviewer, each node represents a keyword, and the size of the node reflects the frequency of its appearance across the analyzed publications. Larger nodes indicate more frequently occurring terms, signifying central or dominant themes in the The color of the node represents the cluster to which the keyword belongs, automatically generated based on co-occurrence patterns. Keywords that frequently appear together are grouped into the same color cluster, indicating a thematic relationship. For example, keywords such as Islamic values. Islamic school, and character education may appear in the same color cluster, indicating that these terms are thematically interlinked. Al-Tanzim : Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index In contrast, other clusters . olored differentl. may group keywords related to blended learning, student-centered learning, or STEM education, indicating distinct yet related research directions. The thickness of the lines . connecting the nodes represents the strength of co-occurrence between the keywords. thicker lines signify stronger relationships. Altogether, this colorand size-coded visualization helps researchers quickly identify which topics dominate the field, how different themes are interconnected, and what subfields exist within Islamic values-based mathematics education research. Modern instructional strategies such as blended learning, studentcentered learning, and cooperative learning also appear in high-density areas. This points to a strong trend in the literature toward pairing Islamic values with innovative teaching methods that emphasize active student participation, technology, and collaborative learning. Such a pattern suggests that contemporary research is not only concerned with normative religious discourse but also explores how these values can be dynamically integrated into 21stcentury learning strategies. On the other hand, areas such as STEM and science education, as well as international large-scale assessment, exhibit high density, signaling the linkage between values-based mathematics education and global educational issues. This indicates a shift in research from localized perspectives to more interdisciplinary and international directions, positioning Islamic values as a foundation for addressing the needs of scientific literacy and global education assessment Thus, the density map confirms that future research will increasingly require a fusion of value-based principles, modern pedagogy, and global relevance to shape a holistic, context-aware educational management AuthorsAo Contributions to Thematic Focus and Educational Management Direction The heatmap visualization of author contributions to various themes in value-based mathematics education research provides an insightful overview of the intellectual structure and academic dynamics within the field, as presented in Figure 5. This visualization reveals the intensity and distribution of scholarly focus, using color gradations: dark blue indicates high contribution, and light blue to white signals lower or absent engagement. It becomes clear that specific authors have established themselves as key players in shaping the discourse, while others contribute across a broader thematic spectrum. One notable figure is Iskandar. , who emerges as a central contributor with a strong focus on a specific theme most likely related to the integration of Islamic values in mathematics education. His three contributions within a single theme underscore a specialized, in-depth engagement that demonstrates consistency and expertise in that area. This position positions Iskandar as a key specialist whose work reinforces the conceptual and practical foundations of Islamic-integrated pedagogy in mathematics.

Both groups play vital roles in the academic Specialists provide depth and rigor in core themes such as curriculum development and ethical leadership, while generalists support thematic convergence and innovation. Al-Tanzim : Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index Discussion The findings of this study demonstrate that the integration of Islamic values into mathematics education is not merely an emerging phenomenon but has become a central direction in contemporary academic discourse. This is reflected in the network and density visualizations, where mathematics education appears as the primary node, strongly connected to concepts such as Islamic values, student-centered learning, and blended learning. These findings reinforce the idea that mathematics education has undergone a paradigm shift from a focus on content delivery alone toward a more holistic, values-oriented This transformation suggests that educators and researchers are increasingly recognizing the importance of embedding moral, ethical, and spiritual elements into teaching practices, especially within Islamic educational The convergence of traditional values with modern pedagogical strategies highlights the potential of mathematics education to serve not only cognitive development but also character formation and cultural identity. Compared to previous studies, these findings expand and deepen the work of Enizah et al. and Kasman et al. , who emphasized the importance of incorporating spiritual values into mathematics instruction to shape students' character. However, this study goes a step further by demonstrating that Islamic values are not merely affective elements but also serve as an epistemological foundation for curriculum development and innovative teaching strategies. In this regard, the study also highlights the importance of character education within an Islamic context, while enriching this approach by integrating dimensions of technology-based and collaborative educational management (Mahara, 2025. Nurbayan & Sanusi, 2025. Shobirin & Efendi, 2. Furthermore, the overlay visualization shows that integrating Islamic values is closely linked to modern approaches such as STEM education and largescale international assessments. This adds a new dimension to the research of Rakhmawati . and Inganah et al. , who previously emphasized the need for Islamic education to respond to the challenges of globalization. This study demonstrates that integrating Islamic values into mathematics can actively contribute to global scientific literacy while preserving its moral and spiritual From the perspective of educational management, the contributions of authors such as Iskandar and Kusumawati. s shown in the heatma. indicate a clear specialization in developingdeveloping value-based themes and instructional strategies. These findings support the work of Donthu et al. which emphasizes the importance of bibliometric analysis in understanding the direction of educational policy. Using network and density maps, the direction of mathematics education policy can be formulated in a more structured, valueoriented manner, responsive to technological advancements and aligned with global contexts. The practical implication of this study is the need for an educational management system that is not only administratively adaptive but also sensitive Al-Tanzim: Jurnal Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Vol. 09 No. : 1231-1245 Available online at https://ejournal. id/index. php/al-tanzim/index to cultural and spiritual values. Education providers must ensure that curricula and teaching strategies do not solely aim to develop cognitive competencies but also shape students' character through integrative approaches. This reflects the findings of Asiyah . and Elbashir et al. , who emphasized the importance of spiritual quotient in technology-based education. Thus, this study fills a gap in the existing literature by providing a visual and systematic analysis of how the concepts of Islamic. Mathematics, and Education interact to shape an adaptive, values-driven, and globally relevant educational model. It not only offers a synthesis of various prior approaches but also establishes a new direction for Islamic values-based educational management in the era of digital transformation. CONCLUSION The integration of Islamic values into mathematics education reflects a growing academic emphasis on aligning spiritual dimensions with contemporary pedagogical approaches. This convergence between religious values and STEM education demonstrates the potential of value-based education in fostering ethical inquiry, interdisciplinary learning, and enhanced teacher Islamic frameworks, when applied to mathematics education, promote not only cognitive understanding but also moral grounding, ensuring that students are prepared to navigate both academic challenges and real-world ethical dilemmas. Moreover, the use of bibliometric methods in this study provides a comprehensive analysis of thematic trends and author contributions, reinforcing the importance of systematically mapping the evolving landscape of value-based This approach underscores the critical role of values in shaping educational practices that respond to global challenges, particularly in developing problem-solving skills and career readiness. The integration of Islamic values into mathematics education emerges as a strategic and culturally relevant approach that is responsive to both local and global educational needs. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
