As an important starting point of education reform, comprehensive practical activities in primary schools play an important role in cultivating students' core competencies. However, the current status of relevant research is unclear, which cannot provide a clear direction for future research. Therefore, this study makes a visual analysis of the research content of comprehensive practical activities in primary schools in China from 2001 to 2023. The results show that: (1) The number of related articles published is extremely unstable, greatly affected by policies, and lack of self-exploration; (2) The core research team is Zhou Xing and Wei Zhipeng, and the key institutions are Beijing Normal University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, but there is a lack of participation of social institutions and insufficient collaboration; (3) The research focus is mainly on curriculum construction and other fields, but also on teaching theme design, research travel and teaching experience; (4) The research content mainly includes labor education, practical education, project learning, interdisciplinary and key ability, and practical ability training is still the forefront of current research. The above research reveals the importance of strengthening policy support, promoting the participation of social institutions, and enhancing the collaboration of research teams, which is conducive to improving the research quality and practical effect of comprehensive practical activities in primary schools.
