Analysis of the History and Current Situation of Virtual Simulation Teaching Research Based on Bibliometrics
This paper uses CiteSpace 6.2 R2 software to analyze the knowledge map of 1 508 pieces of literature related to the virtual simulation teaching published from 2000 to 2023 in the CNKI database.It includes the title,author,organization,and keywords and examines the current situation and development trend of the virtual simulation teaching.The results show that the number of relevant research literature is on the rise and relatively stable,with a significant concentration of published journals and research institutions.The discipline classification is mainly higher education,which indicates that research institutions are concentrated in high-level comprehensive universities.Keyword analysis shows that the high-frequency keywords"virtual simulation"and"experimental teaching"appear in 2006.From 2014 to 2017,the research contents mainly focus on the construction of experimental centers(platforms).Since 2018,the focus has been on curriculum construction,teaching methods and systems,and talent cultivation content.On this basis,virtual simulation teaching and research in China can be divided into three stages:exploration period(2000-2013),experimental center(platform)construction period(2014-2017),and course system construction period(from 2018 to present).
