iSTEM in education is an interdisciplinary approach that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) with inquiry-based and hands-on learning to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world application skills. This study aims to analyze the trend, structure, and thematic evolution of iSTEM research by examining indexed academic publications. This study does a bibliometric analysis of iSTEM (Intergrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) research to discern key trends, prominent authors, significant publication sources, and rising research issues. This study examines the progression of iSTEM research through an analysis of indexed academic papers, investigates collaboration patterns among academics, and identifies the most utilized keywords. The results indicate substantial expansion in iSTEM-related research, emphasizing multidisciplinary partnerships and technical progress. The research additionally introduces a term network to depict the conceptual progression of the discipline. These insights offer a blueprint for future study, assisting scholars and policymakers in formulating effective research methodologies and multidisciplinary frameworks.
