Abstract

With the progressive advancement of China’s educational informatization stages, the research content on digital textbooks has continuously evolved. To clarify the evolutionary logic and trends of digital textbook content, this study utilizes Cite Space knowledge graph software including word frequency analysis, co-word analysis, and burst detection analysis. It selects dimensions including the annual distribution of core journal research literature, research themes, and research burst terms to construct a knowledge graph illustrating the evolutionary logic and trends of digital textbook content. The analysis results indicate that the evolution of digital textbook research content is demonstrably influenced by the developmental stages of China’s educational informatization.The core domains of digital textbook research in China comprise three primary areas: First, the development of digital textbooks; second, the publication and application of digital textbooks; and finally, exploration of auxiliary technologies and tools for digital textbooks. In the future, the development of digital textbooks should adhere to fostering virtue and nurture a new generation of capable young people. The publication of digital textbooks should strengthen governance through national policies and regulations., Furthermore, research on digital textbooks should increasingly emphasize interdisciplinary integration.
