知识图谱视角下的外语课程思政研究透视——基于CiteSpace 和VOSviewer 的可视化分析

Abstract

This study offers a bibliometric analysis of research trends in foreign-language-course-based ideological and moral education from 2004 to 2023. Data were extracted from the CNKI, including 5197 journal articles. Citespace software and VOSviewer are used to track the developmental process and trend of future research on foreign-language-course-based ideological and moral education. We report the following findings: (1) the research on foreign-language-course-based ideological and moral education has gone through two stages -- budding and explosive growth, witnessing a rising trend year by year; (2) the research on practical experience and theoretical construction are widely recognized; (3) the collaboration rate between core authors is low, indicating an independent research trend; (4) research hotspots include such keywords as English teaching, innovation, elements of ideological and moral education, and cultural confidence, etc.; (5) the research focus experiences the gradual transition from the call for theory to the exploration of practices. With the strengthening of China’s ideological and moral education, the research objects, ideological and moral elements, research perspectives and research methods of foreign-language-course-based ideological and moral education are expected to be expanded and innovated.
