Abstract
Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education (SFCE) is a distinctive form of international education with Chinese characteristics, representing both emerging trend and a significant component of the Chinese education system. In the post-pandemic era, an increasing number of Chinese universities are exploring the possibilities and potential of Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education. This research aims to investigate the development of research on SFCE from 1978 to 2023, and examines the academic discourse surrounding SFCE in higher education. Based on the Scopus, Web of Science and CNKI database, a systematic literature review was conducted on 421 journal articles published in both Chinese and English. The review primarily employs a thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal the prevalence of research with a focus from Chinese scholars' perspectives and the attempt to uncover differences in research themes between Chinese and English literature concerning SFCE. Within the literature review, the research delves into the educational, political, and cultural rationales that underlie the concept of Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education. Additionally, the study will further explore the temporal, spatial, and contextual dimensions of research themes in the field of SFCE. In the future, in-depth research on vocational education and the impact of different regions' permission for the use of Al in education on Sino-foreign cooperative education will become a new research trend. Regarding research methods, there is a need to incorporate a more diverse range of mixed research methods. Furthermore, future research should encompass a broader spectrum of perspectives from different subject areas of interest.
