The object of this study is to provide a complete overview of learning persistence, identify and examine hotspots and trends in the literature, and summarize the current state of research on student learning persistence for future research. This study used the PRISMA framework, VOSviewer and SCI Mago to conduct a bibliometric analysis to summarize research on student learning persistence from 2015-2025.Web of Science is one of the most authoritative academic citation databases in the world, covering academic literature in all scientific fields. A keyword search was utilized to obtain 431 publications. The results of the study documented the distribution of papers with information on learning persistence over the last 10 years and presented relevant journals, influential authors, relevant countries, research institutions and key themes. The study also contributes to the existing body of knowledge on learning persistence and provides future trends and insights.
