Abstract

Using Cite Space tool, 406 literatures included in the Web of Science core collection from 2014 to 2023 were analyzed by using the number of publications, authors, keywords and other variables to conduct knowledge graph analysis on foreign digital education governance studies. Over the past decade, there has been a growing focus on integrating information and communication technology (ICT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data analytics, and cloud computing in education governance. Through the trend analysis of the number of published documents, it can be seen that the number of foreign digital education governance literature has grown rapidly after 2020, showing greater academic potential. Through core author and collaborative analysis, it is found that the field is in a developing stage, and researchers are still establishing and exploring research directions. Foreign research hotspots on digital education governance mainly focus on the impact of digital technologies such as big data, social media, policy formulation and artificial intelligence on education governance. The analysis provides recommendations for domestic research in the field of digital education governance, including improving the digital literacy of educators and students, integrating a wide range of digital policy tools for data-driven decision-making, exploring innovative digital governance models, and promoting international cooperation.
