The Analysis of Research Hotspots and Frontiers of Computational Thinking Based on CiteSpace

The article uses CiteSpace software to visually analyze 424 articles on computational thinking research in core journals and CSSCI included the CNKI database from 2011 2021, aiming explore hotspots frontiers field of thinking. Through keyword clustering analysis high-frequency identify hot spots research, frontier trends by detecting timeline bursts terms, providing an important reference for researchers. We found that not only “computational thinking”, “computer courses”, “information technology” are hotspots, but also “artificial intelligence”, “education reform”, “programming education”. “New Engineering”, “Maker Education”, “K12 intelligence” all trends. cultivation is becoming more important. In future, how cultivate computing effectively will receive attention research.
