Abstract

This bibliometric review study investigates the current state of research on blended learning models for professional development based on articles indexed in the Scopus database. The study utilized various bibliometric methods to analyze publication trends, influential authors, institutions, journals, and keywords related to the topic. The search resulted in a total of 1,349 articles published from 2001 to March 2023, indicating a noticeable increase in publications in recent years. The analysis revealed that the United Kingdom is the leading country in research output, with Griffith University being the most productive institutions. The BMC Medical Education was identified as the top publishing outlet in the field. The study identified four keywords that represent the most commonly used terms in the literature: blended learning, online learning, assessment, and professional development. This study provides insights into the current research trends and gaps in the field of blended learning for professional development, which can inform future research directions and support the design of effective professional development programs.

Keywords: bibliometric review, blended learning, professional development, Scopus database, research trends.
