| description | Since 2007, knowledge graphs, an important research tool, have been applied to education and many other disciplines. This paper firstly overviews the application of knowledge graphs in education and then samples the knowledge graph applications in CSSCI- (Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index-) indexed journals in the past two years. These samples were classified and analyzed in terms of research institute, data source, visualization software, and analysis perspective. Next, the situation of knowledge graph applications in education was summarized and evaluated in detail. Furthermore, the authors discussed and assessed the normalization of knowledge graph applications in education. The results show that in the past 15 years, knowledge graphs have been widely used in education. The academia has reached a consensus on the paradigm of the research tool: examining the hotspots, topics, and trends in the related fields from the angles of keyword cooccurrence network (KCN), time zone map, clustering network, and literature/author cocitation, with the aid of CiteSpace and other visualization software and text analysis. However, there is not yet a thorough understanding of the limitations of the visualization software. The relevant research should be improved in terms of scientific level, normalization level, and quality. |
