Rural basic education plays an important role in China's modernization construction. This paper examined the publications related to rural basic education in academic journals from CSSCI between 1998 and 2018. Using the bibliometrics methods, this paper analyzed the annual distribution, journals, authors, institutions, as well as high-frequency keywords and emergent keywords through CiteSpace and Excel. Results showed that the field of rural basic education continues to be a research hotspot for scholars. In spite of a large number of publications, most of the authors were affiliated with colleges and universities, and few researchers were directly involved in educational administration and instruction in primary education. The collaborations across institutions were few and far between. The research hotspots primarily focused on school layout, educational equity, educational informatization, curriculum reform and educational finance. The research frontiers mainly concentrated on the informatization of rural basic education, local normal universities, urbanization, and educational poverty. With the rural revitalization strategy putting forward at the 19th national congress of the CPC, rural basic education research will attract more attention. The results provide implications in diversifying the directions of rural basic education, teacher training which focuses on local educational features and needs, developing responsibilities and accountability of rural teachers, and broadening the rural educational environment. |
