Abstract—This systematic review employs topic modeling techniques to delve into the Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) research landscape, comprehensively exploring this domain’s prevalent themes and subjects. The study scrutinizes a dataset of over 4000 records from the Web of Science, spanning 1998 to 2024, encompassing journal articles, books, book chapters, and conference papers. The analysis discerns distinct clusters of topics in CBET research: discipline-specific applications, emerging technologies, pedagogical approaches, assessment frameworks, and behavioral intervention. This paper highlights key challenges and opportunities.

Keywords—competency-based, education and training, systematic review, topic modeling
