Abstract: This research aims to examine the role and emerging trends of critical thinking within tertiary education through a bibliometric analysis, with particular emphasis on disparities among countries with differing Human Development Index (HDI) levels. The analysis seeks to identify thematic associations related to critical thinking across nations at various stages of development, as well as to explore the educational methods and strategies employed regionally to cultivate critical thinking skills. The findings highlight notable contrasts between developed and developing nations, especially in terms of educational strategies, dominant academic discourses, and region-specific research priorities.
