Visual Analysis of the Development of Online Learning Effects of Domestic and Foreign College Students in the Field of Education

Abstract

Technology in learning has skyrocketed especially through online learning, which has opened a gateway for students around the globe. The purpose of this research is to identify the trend of online learning and its impact on college students’ learning achievements concerning domestic and foreign literature. The current study aims to use bibliometric analysis by engaging CiteSpace on data from the Web of Science (WOS) database between 2020 and 2024 to identify the research tendencies, key contributors, and topic areas. Some trends that emerged indicate topics including “academic self-efficacy”, “higher education”, and “barriers”, where there was more focus on status, equity, access, and success. Global student mobility and policy trends are analysed in global studies; domestic issues such as the gender gap and socio-economic disparities are explored in domestic work. The paper also ends by stressing the idea of inclusive education systems and offering an application of recommendations for improving the effectiveness of online education for policymakers, educators, and other institutions. These findings also help to narrow the existing gap between the global and the local systems to provide fair and meaningful access to higher learning.
