Abstract
Physical education has great potential to be integrated with technology during the implementation. This paper reports bibliometric research on emerging technology in primary physical education during 2015- 2024. This study utilizes Dimensions database. We found it consistent last five-years rising in TiP-PE publications; the most document type on Tip-PE was journal articles; Indonesia is the country with highest publication on Tip-PE; and the highest occurrences keyword along with total link strength is the ‘Education’. Moreover, the cited performance articles of the TiP-PE covered to the Quartile 1 on Scopus, which implies it has good reputation and credibility. These insights offer a thorough basis for scholars, teachers, and decision-makers to enhance their grasp of TiP-PE, steering upcoming efforts toward creative and meaningful advancements at the pedagogy-technology combination.
