Analysis of the Context,Hotspots,and Trends of Research on Digital Transformation of Higher Vocational Education in China
Based on academic literature from China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)from 2012 to 2023 on the digital transformation and development of higher vocational education in China as the research sample,a relevant knowledge graph was drawn by using CiteSpace 6.2.R3 software tool,with a focus on exploring the research context,hotspots,and evolutionary trends of this topic.The results show that the research on digital transformation of higher vocational education in China is in a fluctuating upward trend,reflecting the laws of three stages:information-technology integration,intelligent environment development,and digital era transformation.The research force is dispersed,and the core effects and cross regional communication are insufficient.The research topics are diverse,with obvious commonalities in word frequency clustering,and have gone through four characteristic themes:top-level design and regional layout,connotation characteristics and social value,digital technology and basic resources,strategic paths and development momentum.Hot trends have strong policy timeliness,currently focusing on artificial intelligence,vocational teachers,talent cultivation,integration of enterprises with schools and universities,digital economy,digitization and other fields.In the future,it is necessary to strengthen cross regional communication and cooperation,fully grasp research hotspots and cutting-edge trends,and conduct comprehensive research from both theoretical and empirical perspectives around the evaluation of digital skilled talents,cultivation of composite talents,and cross-border integration and innovation.Through the construction of new platforms,mechanisms,and resources,we will promote the digital transformation of higher vocational education.
