Abstract
						
					
					
					
						
						
							The purpose of this study is to sort out the literature of ubiquitous learning at home and abroad in an objective and scientific way, to show the historical evolution, to analyze the future development trend, and to compare the similarities and differences between domestic and foreign studies. The authors of this article used CiteSpace 5.6.R2 to conduct a visual analysis of ubiquitous learning research papers in core journals from CNKI and Web of Science at home and abroad. It is found that related research presents the characteristics of various fields, multiple perspectives and stable development. With research mainly focusing on ubiquitous learning environment and network resources, domestic researchers pay more attention to the analysis of learning  resources  while  international researchers to the construction and practice of learning models. In addition, in terms of research trends, research at home and abroad has gone through the stages of theoretical construction and model design, gradually shifting to empirical research, but domestic empirical  research is not prominent and lacks inheritance, which needs to be further supplemented by domestic researchers.
