Therefore, visualizing the knowledge structure of blended learning is necessary for future research. This study establishes a knowledge structure through document co-citation analysis and multidimensional scale analysis by analyzing a total of 395 documents from 2015 to 2020. The results of this study objectively predict the trend of blended learning research. Research themes are prominent in blended learning environments, online learning, motivation and motivation regulation, and academic achievement. Relevant studies reflect the significance of information communication technologies in supporting the development of blended learning. This study has important reference significance for blended learning practitioners and researchers to address blended learning challenges.
