Rolius Telaumbanua, Carsiwan Carsiwan, Hipdan Salihan, Cindy Aulia Sari, Vina Alviana

Abstract


This study explores the transformation of the philosophy of science paradigm in Physical Education research through bibliometric analysis and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using Publish or Perish for publications from 2015 to 2025 and selected based on PRISMA guidelines, resulting in seven eligible articles. Bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer was used to identify publication trends, citation networks, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic structures. The results indicate a paradigm shift from a positivistic and instrumental orientation toward more holistic, humanistic, and multidisciplinary approaches. Key themes include the philosophy of play, lifelong physical education, and Outcome-Based Education (OBE)-based curricula, which reinforce the ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations of the field. The study concludes that the philosophy of science is essential in shaping more reflective, contextual, and meaningful Physical Education research.
