Abstract

This study investigates global knowledge networks in green-informatics within vocational education from 2019 to 2024. Based on an analysis of 86 peer-reviewed publications indexed in Scopus, it identifies key collaboration patterns, regional specializations, paradigm shifts, and leading contributors. Findings reveal a growing integration of computational thinking, sustainability literacy, and digital innovation in vocational informatics education. This research contributes to informatics education by mapping evolving knowledge frameworks and offering strategic insights for educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers aiming to embed sustainability principles into vocational training. The study also discusses implications for future interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
