Abstract

Abstract: Problem based learning (PBL) has become an important research field in the reformation of medical education. It is necessary to analyze the hot spots and trends of PBL. In this paper, 1819 literatures from 1981 to 2019 were retrieved from the core data set of Web of Science and were selected as the research object. CiteSpace software is used to analyze the literature information visually. The results show the analysis of research hotspots and trends of problem-based learning in medical education. The research on PBL teaching mode mainly implemented in European and American countries with close cooperation. At present, the research focuses on the learning outcomes, the school, and the cultivation of teachers' and students' capacity building.The research trend gradually extends from PBL teaching itself to the combination with other teaching methods such as “virtual patient” and “video”.

Key words: Problem-based learning, Medical education, Research, Visualization
