Abstract : This study provides a comprehensive review of cognitive aspects in physics learning and offers recommendations for future research opportunities for educators and researchers. Through a systematic literature review (SLR), this study analyzed 407 Scopus databases and successfully identified 63 relevant documents discussing cognitive skills in the context of physics learning. Further analysis of publication frequency, research methods employed, researchers’ countries of origin indicates a declining trend in research interest in recent years, and the role of cognition in physics learning. Nevertheless, based on the 63 reviewed documents, Indonesia is recorded as the country with the highest research contribution in the
field of cognitive aspects in physics learning. The dominance of qualitative methods in this research compared to quantitative methods, research and development (R&D), mixed methods, or classroom action research indicates a strong focus on a deep understanding of students’ thinking processes during physics learning. These findings provide a solid foundation for further research in designing and developing various effective learning interventions, thereby improving the overall quality of physics learning.
