Research Hotspots and Trends in Meta-verse Education Based on CiteSpace
To gain a macro understanding of the current research status and cutting-edge issues in the application of the meta-verse in education worldwide,CiteSpace data visualization tools were used to select the WOS core database and the CNKI database as the main data sources.The keywords,authors,and research institutions of 3944 foreign literature published in the field of meta-verse education between 2007 and 2022 and 347 Chinese literature published on the CNKI were analyzed through hot topic mining,text statistics,and graph presentation.The results indicate that applying the meta-verse to higher education and medical education is a key research direction in this field.China started relatively late in related fields,but is currently in a high-speed development stage.In the future,researchers need to further cross university,cross regional,cross disciplinary,and cross national cooperation.
