Project-based learning has gained
significant attention in the field of education,
particularly in K-12 Mathematics education, due to its
potential for fostering students' abilities relevant to the
demands of the 21st century. However, there is a
notable absence of a systematic evaluation regarding
the implementation and effectiveness of project-based
learning specifically in the context of Mathematics
education. This knowledge gap presents a challenge and
limitation for researchers seeking to stay abreast of the
latest advancements in the field. Thus, the objective of
this article is to provide a comprehensive assessment of
the current state of project-based learning in K-12
Mathematics, encompassing its practices, influencing
factors, barriers, and future developments. To achieve
this, the study employs the PRISMA method, analyzing
a collection of 25 publications retrieved from reputable
databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, covering
the period from 2019 to 2023. Through meticulous analysis and synthesis of these
publications, the study highlights key findings,
publication trends over time, countries where
project-based learning has been implemented,
extracted keywords, research methodology statistics,
and provides insights into influencing factors,
limitations, difficulties, and future research
opportunities in this domain
