Abstract

By using Citespace, an information visualization software, this paper analyses the hot content and evolution trend of China’s out-of-school education research in the last twenty years. The results show that the research hot spots in this field include the value and status of out-of-school education, the planning and institutional setup, and the policy and governance of out-of-school education. The hot spots in the weakening trend are leisure education and Children’s Palace, while the research frontiers in the increasing trend are quality education, Youth Palace, and research travel. China’s out-of-school education research should further consolidate the theoretical foundation of out-of-school education, pay attention to the research on the influence of out-of-school education, use information technology to carry out out-of-school education and evaluation, pay attention to the combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative research of out-of-school research, and improve the research validity. Only when the research results are rich and scientific can we achieve the goal of sustainability.
