我国外语自主学习研究现状与动态追踪——基于1998—2016年CNKI中CSSCI期刊论文的文献计量分析

A Research Trend of Autonomous Foreign Language Learning in China:Based on Data From 1998 to 2016

以1998—2016年CNKI中436篇CSSCI期刊论文为研究样本,主要通过文献计量中的共词聚类分析方法,借助CiteSpace可视化研究工具,依次从研究进程、研究主题、核心刊物、核心作者、科研合作以及资金资助等方面进行分析。研究结果显示,1998-2016年间,国内外语自主学习研究总体取得了丰硕的成果,研究主题涉及了学校层面、教师层面和学生层面;《外语界》和《外语电化教学》是国内刊载外语自主学习研究的排头兵;高校成为外语自主学习研究的主阵地;论文获得了不同级别的基金资助。同时也指出了当前研究存在未形成核心高产作者群、作者的合著率和合作度不高、跨单位合作度不足等问题,并从研究主体、研究内容及评估体系等三方面展望了未来的研究态势。

With co-word cluster analysis of bibliometrics and Cite Space visualized software, this paper collects 436 CSSCI journal papers in CNKI Database on foreign language autonomous learning from 1998 to 2016 in China,and analyzes the data from the dimensions concerning research process, topics, core authors, core papers, research cooperation and funding support. The research demonstrates major achievements in this period. The research subjects are mainly discussed from the perspective of schools, teachers and students. Foreign Language World and Computer-assisted Foreign Language Education published the largest number of papers on autonomous foreign language learning. Universities have become the major place for carrying out the related research. The levels of papers funded are relatively diverse. Simultaneously, problems still exist in current research. For example, core authors' climate has not taken shape; the author's collaboration degree, cooperation rate, and cooperation between different research institutions are comparatively low. This paper predicts the future trends in research subjects, contents and evaluation system so as to provide some suggestions for future research on autonomous foreign language learning.
