Knowledge Graph Visual Analysis on the "Stickiness of Learning" Based on the VOSviewer Software

Abstract

In order to focus on the research status of "stickiness of learning", the bibliometrics method is applied to make the statistical analysis on the number of publications, the source of journals, and the content of keywords. According to the line chart of publications and the pie chart of journal sources, it is discovered that "stickiness of learning" plays an important role both in the epidemic period and post-epidemic period, and the research on this topic from scholars at home and abroad is on the rise. On the basis of the network visualization, density visualization, and overlay visualization in the VOSviewer software, it is summarized that research perspectives of influencing factors of "stickiness of learning" are mainly divided into two categories: Expectation Confirmation Model of Information Systems Continuance (ECM-ISC) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). However, as a social cognitive activity of learners, learning is actually an interactive process among learners, learning behaviors and external society. Social cognitive theory ignored in previous publications is supposed to play an indispensable role in the future study on influencing factors of "stickiness of learning".
