The Current Research Status and Trends of Counselors in Higher Vocational Colleges in China——A Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace
By utilizing the CiteSpace visualization software,we conducted a bibliometric analysis of the literature related to counselors in vocational colleges within the CNKI database over the past 20 years.The analysis indicates that,despite a large number of researchers in this field,a core group of authors or a research community has not yet been established.Further keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals that the research on counselors in vocational colleges primarily involves several key issues such as team building,student management,occupational burnout,and work methods.These topics can generally be categorized into four main research directions:team building,enhancement of professional capabilities,optimization of work strategies,and promotion of students'psychological health.Notably,the professionalization and specialization of counselors,alongside the enhancement of their professional skills and the online ideological and psychological health education for vocational students,will continue to be the focal points of future research in this area.
