Visualization Analysis of Global Teacher TPACK Research based on CiteSpace

The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework has delineated developmental trajectories for teachers’ knowledge structures in the information age while establishing a theoretical foundation for teacher education. From a global perspective, research on teachers’ TPACK is experiencing prolific growth, yet systematic syntheses of its current status, research hot spots, and emerging trends remain imperative. This study reveals three key findings: (1) Global research on teachers’ TPACK demonstrates a sustained upward trajectory; (2) Current scholarly emphasis concentrates on information technology integration and digital competencies, educational ecosystems and professional development, and subject-specific pedagogy and methodological innovations; (3) Future investigations are projected to prioritize learning strategy optimization and transformative digital technologies.
