Abstract:
Objective:To compare research hotspots in digital transformation of higher education in China and abroad and analyze the research trends through the bibliometric method and text analysis method, and to offer advice and suggestions for digital transformation of higher education in China.Methods:The relevant literature in Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from the establishment of the databases to April 1, 2023 were retrieved. Citespace and VOSviewer were used to visually compare the research hotspots and trends in digital transformation of higher education in China and abroad from the perspectives of number of published papers, journal, author, country, cooperation network, keyword co-occurrence and clustering, and keyword burst.Results:The results showed that both international and domestic researchers paid attention to the practical significance and development model of digital transformation of higher education in the context of rapid development of science and technology and the post-pandemic era. International researchers emphasized the advantages and disadvantages of digital transformation from the aspects of connotation, practice logic, and theoretical framework, while Chinese researchers focused on clarifying the principles related to digital transformation, summarizing the experience of other countries, and exploring the development path. The application of educational technology and the digital literacy of teachers and students had become research hotspots in China and abroad.Conclusion:The research on digital transformation of higher education has gradually shifted from theoretical system to practice effect. In the future, with the continuous deepening of theoretical research, how to improve the effectiveness of digital transformation of higher education is a research direction worthy of attention.
