我国MOOCs研究的网络结构与主题聚类——基于CiteSpaceⅢ的知识图谱分析

Network Structure and Topic Clustering of MOOCs Research in China:a Knowledge Mapping Analysis Based on Cite Space Ⅲ

MOOCs(大规模开放在线课程)是一种新兴的教学模式,对教育改革产生了重大影响。我国学者对MOOCs的理论研究起步于2012年,而实践探索则稍晚一些。本文以中国知网收录的177篇CSSCI来源期刊论文为样本,采用信息计量学及其可视化展示方法,对国内MOOCs研究的网络结构和聚类主题进行知识图谱分析,较为全面地展示了研究机构及其所属作者群体的分布情况、作者及其所发论文主题的共现网络、核心关键词聚类形成的热点领域,以期为MOOCs理论研究的深入和实践探索的推进提供参考。

As a new teaching mode, Massive Open Online Courses(MOOCs) has a significant impact on education. Theoretical research on MOOCs by Chinese scholars started in 2012 but experimental practice did not happen until sometime later. This study reviews 177 papers published in Chinese Social Science Citation Index(CSSCI) source journals. Research instruments of informetrics and visualization are adopted. Mapping knowledge is used to analyze the network structure and topic clustering of MOOCs research in China. The study demonstrates the distribution of research institutions and authors, co-occurrence network of authors and their thesis topics, hot areas of the core keyword clustering, and provides a reference for the future MOOCs theoretical study and practice.
