This study aims to analyze research trends related to Nearpod Interactive Learning in education using a data-driven bibliometric approach from Google Scholar. Nearpod is an interactive learning platform that allows teachers to create more dynamic and participatory learning experiences through features such as quizzes, polls, and real-time collaboration. Using analytical methods such as VOSviewer and Publish or Perish (PoP), this study identifies publication trends, citation trends, and research focus in the period 2015-2025. The results of the analysis show that publications on Nearpod have started to increase since 2019 and peak in 2024. However, there is a decrease in the number of publications in 2025 which is likely due to changes in research focus or limited data available. In addition, Nearpod has been proven to contribute to increasing student engagement and learning outcomes, especially in the fields of STEM and online learning. The focus of the research has also evolved, from simply exploring the use of Nearpod in learning to evaluating its effectiveness in various pedagogical approaches. Although Nearpod has great potential in improving learning effectiveness, there are challenges that need to be overcome, such as infrastructure readiness, the digital access gap, and the need for more intensive teacher training. Therefore, this study recommends improving education policies that support technology integration, investment in digital infrastructure, and strengthening the capacity of educators in optimally utilizing Nearpod.
