ABSTRACT: This study adopted the bibliometric method to
visually analyze 844 articles of TPACK from 2009 to 2020 in core collection database of Web of Science
(WOS). The Visual analysis is conducted on the authors, research organizations,
articles and keywords using CiteSpace to
explore research hotspots and trends in research of TPACK in WOS. This paper
reveals the most influential authors and institutions, highly cited articles,
research hotspots and trends of TPACK
research. The findings show that the research on TPACK has been moving forward
and making significant development. The core author
Ching Sing Chai of Nanyang Technological University is a typical representative,
having published lots of influential articles. Nanyang Technological University
is also the most influential institution. We can see that not only TPACK
and PCK are the hotspots of research, but also “digital competence”,
“educational technology” and “learning by design” are hot research topics.
“Learning activity”, “professional knowledge”, “pedagogical model”, “teaching
materials” are all the research trends of TPACK. Researchers are likely to
integrate TPACK with more disciplines to enhance the applicability of TPACK and
enlarge the research scope of TPACK in the future.
