Ethopedagogy is important because it helps shape individuals who are not only academically intelligent but also have a strong moral and ethical awareness, which is very necessary to face the complex challenges in today's global society. This research aims to identify and analyze ethnopedagogical research trends in their contribution to elementary school science learning in the era of revolution 4.0. This research method is descriptive and analytical. The data used in this research was obtained from documents indexed by Google Scholar from 2015-2024 using Publish or Perish and Dimension.ai. Research procedures use PRISMA guidelines. The data identified and analyzed included types of publications, authors on ethnopedagogy, sources of publications, and titles of research on ethnopedagogy that were widely cited. The data analysis method uses bibliometric analysis assisted by VOSviewer software.
