翻转课堂的研究热点及未来趋势——基于CNKI期刊2503篇文献统计分析

Research Hotspots and Development Trends of the Flipped Classroom

翻转课堂融合了互联网技术,通过颠覆教学顺序,在培养学习者自主学习能力、创新能力以及形成开放性知识等方面优势显著。基于CNKI数据库2012—2015年收录的以"翻转课堂"为篇名的学术性论文2503篇,运用citespace可视化软件在就关键词、作者、机构等进行统计的基础上就研究热点、知识基础等问题进行统计分析。结果显示:2015年开始,翻转课堂的研究数量呈现井喷式增长,发文机构的主力因其职业敏感性与教学特点主要集中在师范院校以及职业技术学校,"自主学习"、"慕课"等关键词成为该领域研究热点。研究有助于全面了解我国翻转课堂的研究现状,推进教学改革,提高教学质量。

The flipped classroom approach integrates with the Internet technology and reverses the teaching order. It shows significant advantages in developing the students' autonomous learning ability, promoting learners' capability of innovation and forming opened-knowledge. The flipped classroom approach has attracted great attention among the scholars since it was introduced to China from western countries and now is proliferating in China. In 2012, some scholars began to study it, and the research team has gradually expanded in the year of 2013. The study of the inverted classroom technique had a blowout growth in 2015 and the number of published papers accounted for 76% of the annual total. The rapid growth of the number reflected that domestic researchers and scholars have a great interest in the flipped classroom approach, especially in the part of teaching reform and teaching quality.Judging from the papers published in CNKI, Zhang Jinlei and his partners at the Institute of Education of Nanjing University had published the paper 'Introducing a New Teaching Model: Flipped Classroom' in the year of 2012. In this paper, authors discussed a range of issues in detail, such as the essence of the flipped classroom, the historical origin, characteristics, classical cases and teaching models. Otherwise, this paper has been seen as the initial research of the flipped classroom in our country. Tian Aili and other scholars have paid sustained attention to it, and they had become high yield article authors as well as the backbone in this field, and to push forward the research of the flipped classroom. In addition, Yin Da, Zhou Huijuan, Li Zhenhua, Li Zhanjie and other authors have also published a higher number of papers and have kept a careful eye on teaching reform in China. On the basis of screening out non-related papers, major periodicals for the study of the flipped classroom present themselves. Asia-Pacific Education was ranked first and The Chinese Journal of ICT in Education was the second. In the top twenty periodicals, Information technology accounted for a large proportion. The reason for this is that information technology is embedded into the flipped classroom, and it is not only a significant characteristic,but also an important technique support. Some of periodicals like China Educational Technology sets up column in succession. It means that they are concerned about the reform of school teaching under the background of information.In order to get a better and comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the research on the flipped classroom approach in our country, this paper takes the 2503 papers on the flipped classroom in CNKI as the research objective. Using Citespace software, it obtained 3239 key words in papers and further checked by human sorting. As a result, it drawn 5 keywords clusters which includes the flipped classroom, teaching research, study on learning, technique study and specialized teaching research.In 2012, Zhang Jinlei with other two authors published the paper Introducing a New Teaching Model:Flipped Classroom. In the past four years,the relevant contents were cited 2305 times in the papers of CNKI. In addition, Introducing a New Teaching Model:Flipped Classroom and Instructional Design Based on the Idea of the Flipped Classroom in ICT Environment are also hot papers, and their citation frequency is 576 and 370 respectively per year. They have arisen great repercussions in academic circle and relevant contents have become knowledge base of the flipped classroom. With the information technology, the flipped classroom formed a new teaching mode that teachers provide teaching video as the main form and students use tablet PCs and other electronic book package to realize learners' autonomous learning. Therefore, the related research on educational information technology like micro-courses, MOOCs and modern education will receive sustained attention. An empirical study and dynamic research conform to the research point of the problem and accord with the international academic development trend, so they would be the key points in future research.
