The Focus and Trends of International Blended Learning Research: An Empirical Analysis Based on Mapping Knowledge Domain

doi:10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2019.04.011

Abstract

Abstract: With the development of informatization in education, blended learning has become an important form of teaching and learning in higher education. Based on the visual analysis of 3,454 papers from WOS (2000-2017) by Citespace software, this study explores the hot topics and frontier domains of international blended learning research in the new century through drawing the knowledge mapping. The results show that hot topics of international blended learning research focus on achievement, mathematical thinking, undergraduate student learning, scenario-based learning, and self-reflection. Environment development, instructional design as well as implementation and application have been regarded as the frontier topics. Other frontier domains include research on innovation in blended learning. Finally, countries and institutes which are focusing on blended learning research are analyzed.

Key words: blended learning, mapping knowledge domain, hot topics, frontier
