Abstract
This study conducted a visual study of 4,018 literature correlated to
digital literacy from 1993 to 2022 using CiteSpace, and analyzed the
research hot spots and frontier trends of digital literacy. According to
the visual mappings and related literature content, the development of
digital literacy can be classified into three stages: a slow development
stage (1993-2004), a steady development stage (2005-2016), and a rapid
development stage (2017-present). Research hot spots on digital literacy
mainly focus on factors affecting digital literacy, teaching/learning
strategies based on digital literacy, and the digital divide. A frontier
issue about digital literacy is online learning. As a result, this study
reviewed and summarized related research on digital literacy and
provided a suggestion for future research and practice in this field.
