Abstract

The development trend of high-quality lesson research shows three-stage characteristics of "fluctuating rise-peak stability-continuous decline", with insufficient inter-institutional collaboration. Research hotspots have gradually shifted from early resource construction such as "Excellent course" and "Demonstration lesson" to classroom practices of educational concepts like "Core literacy" and "Consistency of teaching, learning, and evaluation", and the research potential of technological empowerment including "Information Technology-Integrated Teaching" is prominent. These findings are derived from a study that took 723 Core journal literature published between 2005 and 2025 and indexed in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) (CNKI) as the research object to explore the hotspots, evolution, and trends of high-quality lesson research. In this study, CiteSpace and Bibliometric method are employed to analyze external characteristics from dimensions such as publication characteristics, Author composition, and Institutional distribution. Meanwhile, Visualization analysis is carried out by constructing Literature keyword clustering map, Timeline spectrum, and Co-occurrence network. The research results show that moving forward, efforts should be made to strengthen cross-domain collaboration, further develop the competency-oriented evaluation system, and drive the meaningful integration of technology with educational objectives. These steps are necessary to achieve a theoretical and practical shift from "High-quality demonstration" to "Normal high-quality".
