Objective To summarize the research hotspots and knowledge structure of pediatric teaching model by introducing the co-word clustering analysis into the research on the current status of pediatric teaching model and conducting a visualized analysis of related articles in the past decade

and to provide a reference for further development of pediatric teaching model. Methods　In July 2017

CNKI and Wanfang Data were searched for related articles published from January 2006 to June 2017

with pediatrics and teaching model as the key words. The articles which met the research criteria were screened out manually

and Word and Bicomb 2.0 were used to identify high-frequency key words. SPSS 20.0 was used to plot the diagram of the cluster analysis

and Ucinet 6.0 and Newdraw were used to generate the co-occurrence network map to show the relationship between high-frequency key words. Results　A total of 367 articles were included and 31 high-frequency key words were extracted

among which the most frequently used key word was PBL teaching method. Studies in this field were roughly classified into four types

i.e.

teaching method in pediatric practice/and clerkship

contents of cultivation and assessments in pediatric teaching

teaching methods for pediatric nursing

and objects of the reform of teaching methods. The key words of PBL teaching method

multimedia teaching

case-based teaching

and nursing were located at the center of the co-occurrence network map. Conclusion　Exploration and practice of various teaching methods have been the main research topics in pediatric teaching model in China over the past decade. PBL is a research hotspot in this field and is often combined with multimedia

case teaching

or other methods in pediatric teaching. In addition

the application of evidence-based medicine has attracted more and more attention.
