- Abstract
The Feynman technique is often summarized as learning by explaining, but this formula leaves the internal process unclear. This study analyzes a CNKI export of 238 records and retains 156 journal articles from 2017 to June 2026 in which the technique appears in the title or keywords. Descriptive counts and title-abstract-keyword coding identify six recurring dimensions: practice and transfer, knowledge reconstruction, explanation, feedback and diagnosis, collaboration, and digital or AI support. The evidence base is uneven: 93 articles propose a model, 86 report practice-based evaluation, and 42 mention quantitative or comparative evidence. The synthesis defines internalization as a six-stage cycle of selection, reconstruction, explanation, diagnosis, revision, and transfer. For computer experimental education, explanations should be linked to executable procedures, observable data, and repeatable verification.
