Abstract

Genetics, as a core discipline of life sciences, has broad applications in medicine, agriculture, and environmental protection. With the rapid development in biotechnology, genetic education is facing new challenges and demands. Traditional teaching models have gradually revealed limitations in cultivating students' innovative abilities, practical skills, and comprehensive qualities. To enhance the quality and effectiveness of genetic education, promoting educational reform has become a focal point for educators and researchers. This study employs bibliometric methods to comprehensively review and analyze 690 relevant publications on genetic education reform from 1986 to 2023, encompassing both domestic and international contexts. The analysis covers multiple dimensions, including the time distribution of publications, research topics, major research institutions and authors, and keyword co-occurrence. Results indicate a steady annual growth in research on genetic education reform. Keyword analysis reveals prominent themes such as “educational reform”, “experimental education” and “medical genetics”, focusing on innovative teaching methods and improving educational outcomes. High-output institutions are primarily found in the fields of agriculture and life sciences, particularly within agricultural universities and the life sciences of comprehensive universities. Here, we summarize the current state and development trends in genetic education reform, providing a scientific basis and reference for future research. This study will promote the innovative development of genetic education and cultivate more high-quality talents with innovative spirit and practical abilities.
