ABSTRACT: This article presents a quantitative visual analysis of 500 research
papers on joint home-kindergarten education from the CNKI, utilizing the
CiteSpace software. The results indicate that research on joint
home-kindergarten education has undergone a period of preliminary exploration
marked by cooperative strategies and approaches, followed by a period of
idea-resource integration that focused on promoting children’s development. At
present, the collaboration between authors and institutions in the research on
joint home-kindergarten education is inadequate, and research organizations are yet
to establish closely-knit teams for cooperation. The research primarily focuses
on the object, content, and dilemma of joint home-kindergarten education, along
with the corresponding approach to it. It is anticipated that China will
intensify its investigation into joint home-kindergarten education through the
provision of greater resources to research teams at an organizational level,
and through the clarification of the underlying concept at a content level.
