基于术语通用度计算的远程教育研究领域术语使用情况调查研究

The Study of the Use of Terms in Distance Education Research Based on Term Currency Calculation

该研究借助计算机技术对远程教育学科四个核心期刊2007年和2008年文献题录信息进行了搜集、分析、最后提取术语,并计算术语通用度,依据通用度做了三方面的分析:首先,依据通用度从高到底排列,得出了远程教育学科常用术语,这些常用术语一定程度上反映了当前远程教育研究领域的主要研究内容;其次,对两个年份的术语通用度进行比较分析,得出了2008年度较2007年度通用度明显下降的术语以及2008年度较2007年度通用度明显升高的术语,这些术语一定程度上反映随着时间的推移远程教育研究领域内容的变化;最后,依据术语频次和术语通用度对术语在四个期刊的分布情况进行分析,得出了分布范围较窄的术语列表,今后在使用这些术语时要谨慎,因为这些术语在指称某些概念时不具有普遍性。通过上述三项分析,一定程度上揭示了当前远程教育研究领域的内容以及一些变化。上述文献分析过程也可成为文献研究的有效方法。

In this study, the authors use computer technology on the four core disciplines of Distance Education Series in 2007 and 2008 bibliography of information collection, analysis, and finally extracted terms, and calculate term currency, according to currency to do a analysis in three areas： First of all, based on currency from high to low order, come to common terms of distance education subjects, these commonly used terms to some extent reflects the main areas of the current distance education research studies; Secondly, by doing a comparative analysis of the term currency in the two years, come to the year 2008 than the 2007 annual term currency decreased and the year 2008 than the year 2007 annual term currency increased, these terms, to some extent, reflect the content changes in the field of distance education research with the passage of time; Finally, the authors analyze the terms in four periodicals distribution based on term frequency and currency, come to the distribution list of narrower terms, we should be cautious to use these terms in the future, because of the alleged of the terms is non-universality of certain concepts. Through the three analyses, to some extent, reveals the current research in the field of distance education research, as well as some changes. The above process of literature analysis can also become an effective way to study literature.
