Visual Analysis Of Project-Based Teaching In China's Application-Oriented Universities

Through the visual analysis of the literature related to project-based teaching in China in the past 20 years, this paper aims to provide a reference for the deepening practice of project-based teaching and curriculum construction. Based on the main core journals included in the CNKI database from 2007 to 2025, the author uses CiteSpace software to visualize and analyze 622 valid literatures, systematically sort out the research hotspots and development contexts, etc., and construct the annual publication trend of national project-based teaching in the past 20 years, the context of research scholars and network cooperation, keyword frequency and co-occurrence map. It is found that the annual number of papers on project-based teaching has increased in stages, reaching a peak in 2019, and policy promotion is related to research enthusiasm. The research focuses on keywords such as "teaching reform", "applied talent training" and "industry-education integration", forming a multi-dimensional research pattern with practice orientation as the core. On the whole, project-based teaching research has formed a policy-driven and practice-oriented development path. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen micro-level exploration, build a comprehensive evaluation system, and promote scholar cooperation to deepen the innovation of teaching models and the cultivation of applied talents.
