Abstract
This paper aims to classify the topics of literature related to the teaching reform of design history and identify the relevant studies that have direct or indirect influence. The literature combing method based on qualitative method is mainly adopted, and citation analysis is used to determine the research bias of references. The reform of teaching methods, the application of cutting-edge theories, and the application of technology in teaching are three main themes of research. The improvement of teaching methods is a research hotspot which has direct research influence, while the application of cutting-edge theories and technologies has indirect influence. The application of frontier theory still needs to be advanced, and the application of new technology will gradually become a new hot topic.The literature related to the teaching reform of the history of design is systematically sorted out, and a literature review is provided for promoting the related research. This research establishes a thematic model for the related research on the teaching reform of design history and clarifies the current hotspots. This paper makes up for the vacancy of literature review in this field, reviews the existing studies, and predicts the future research hotspots.
