国外STEM教育研究的热题表征与进路预判——基于ERIC(2005-2015)的量化考察

Hot Topics Characterization of Research on Overseas STEM Education and Approach Judgments Based on ERIC(2005-2015)

STEM教育是当今最具基础性、综合性、创造性和经济性的教育,是各国教育竞争力、改革力和发展力的劲爆点。国外STEM教育研究已产生了一些具有理论和实践价值的成果。国内对于STEM教育研究仍处于萌芽期,通过探讨国外STEM教育的发展现状和研究热点以及未来的发展趋势,为我国高起点研究和发展STEM教育提供可资借鉴的经验和蓝本。基于ERIC数据库,该文对国外近10年有关STEM Education的相关文献进行量化分析。通过对高频关键词的共现分析、因子分析、聚类分析、多维尺度分析,发现STEM教育研究的热点主题是STEM教育相关理论、STEM教育研究方法运用、STEM教育学校变革、STEM教育课程连贯性、STEM教育代表性不足的群体等。未来的STEM教育研究将聚焦课程整合一体化、学校伙伴化、对象低龄化和评价多面化。

STEM education is an education which is most fundamental, comprehensive, creative and economic. It is also a sensational point for education competition, development and reform force for all countries. Overseas STEM education research has produced some results of theoretical and practical value. For domestic STEM education research, it is still in infancy. By exploring the development status of foreign STEM education research, as well as the development trend of the future, it can provide valuable experiences and the blueprint for high-quality research and enhances STEM education in our country. Based on ERIC database, the paper quantifies the relevant literature on STEM Education abroad in recent years. By keyword co-occurrence of high-frequency analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, it can be seen on STEM Education research primarily are STEM education theory, STEM Education Research Methods, STEM education school change, STEM education curriculum coherence, STEM education groups and so on. Future research will focus on STEM education integration, partners in education, STEM for children and multifaceted evaluation.
