Through the use of bibliometrics and VOS scientific mapping tools, this study examined the relevant literature on the application of digital learning in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) worldwide, and analyzed the current situation and popular research topics. The results revealed the following: 1. The number of annual papers published worldwide on digital learning in TVET tripled between 1980 and October 2020, and a total of 3,584 data points were analyzed. 2. The focus of global research on digital learning could be divided into seven clusters. 3. More studies focused on teaching than on science and technology. 4. Countries in six clusters all attached importance to the application of blended learning in higher education. Curriculum development, pedagogy, cooperative learning, and lifelong learning were the common themes of teaching topics in various countries. 5. Research topics in Taiwan focused more on the categories of "enabling technologies" and "learning technologies"; Taiwan's research on instructional design focused on game-based learning, learning styles, and scaffolding theories, and research on instructional content focused mostly on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. In this paper, some suggestions are provided for promoting digital learning in Taiwan's TVET, potentially serving as a reference for future development and application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
