A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF LEARNING MOTIVATION IN BLENDED TEACHING ENVIRONMENT (2014-2024)

Abstract

From 2014 to 2024, research on learning motivation in blended teaching environments has developed for 10 years. The research hotspots, frontiers, and development trends in related fields urgently need to be explored in order to provide valuable references for future research endeavors . In this study, The CiteSpace literature visualization analysis tool is employed to conduct co-citation analysis, keyword analysis, burst detection analysis as well as keyword clustering and temporal zone analysis. The findings revealed that during the aforementioned period, research primarily focused on the influencing factors of learning motivation; the relationship between  motivation and actions, learning performance, and self-regulated ; as well as blended teaching design and strategies for enhancing learning motivation. The research hotspots in this field mainly include: studies on the impact of blended teaching design and strategies on learning motivation, students' behavioral intentions; and the practical application of learning motivation in blended teaching environments. The research trend has evolved from initial development to steady growth and then rapid growth with diversified development. The frontier areas include "performance," "medical education," "games," etc. These findings provide directions for future research on learning motivation in blended teaching environments.
