摘要

Abstract

This paper employs bibliometric analysis to examine geographical education research published in 84 core CNKI journals between 2003 and 2023. Using CiteSpace

funding sources

and thematic evolution. The findings indicate a clear shift toward interdisciplinary integration and paradigm innovation

supported by social science funding. Key trends include: disciplinary integration with IT and humanities; a focus on cultivating core competencies like human-environment understanding and holistic thinking; and model innovation through technology-enhanced teaching and talent development. The study highlights a transition from vocational training to competency-based education and from single-discipline approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration

providing theoretical and practical insights for future geographical education.
