近十年国际成人教育研究进展--基于WOS与CiteSpace的知识图谱分析

Progress in International Adult Education Research in Recent Ten Years

运用知识图谱可视化分析方法,对2008—2017年国际成人教育领域具有影响力的三种SSCI期刊的数据研究发现:成人教育领域的研究者主要分布在澳大利亚、美国、加拿大、英国、瑞典等以英语为母语的发达国家;研究形成了以林雪平大学、悉尼科技大学为核心的凝聚群落;研究主题聚焦于成人能力提升、身份转变和生活质量改善研究,影响成人学习者的内部因素与外部环境分析,成人教育相关理论完善,有效教学策略探讨,教育公平等方面;《实践社团》《情境学习:合法的边缘性参与》《成人学习的转化性维度》等著作和论文构成了该领域的知识基础;研究前沿主要包括转化学习、公职人员、困境、研究质量、学习者身份、方案规划、国际化等。鉴于此,我国成人教育研究的未来走向应了解国际成人教育领域领军人物的学术思想,动态监测学科知识结构的分化,注重批判性反思学术态度,打造具有专业性和创新性的学术期刊。

With the visualization analysis of knowledge graph,based on the data study of three SSCI journals with high influence in the field of adult education,it finds that the researchers in the field of adult education are mainly distributed in the developed English-speaking countries,such as Australia,the United States,Canada,the UK and Sweden. It has formed a condensed community centered on Linkoping University and University of Technology Sydney. The topics of the research focus on the improvement of adult capacity,the change of identity and the improvement of the life quality,the internal factors and external environment of adult learners,the perfection of the adult education-related theories,the effective teaching strategies,and the equity of education,etc. The books,such as Community of Practice,Situated Learning： Legitimate Peripheral Participation and Transformative Dimensions of Adult Learning and some papers constitute the knowledge base of this field. The research fronts include transformative learning,public servants,dilemma,research quality,learners＇ identities,program planning and internationalization. Accordingly,the future trend of adult education research in China should understand the academic thought of the leading figures in the field of international adult education,dynamically monitor the differentiation of the knowledge structure of the subject,pay attention to the critical reflection of academic attitude,and create professional and innovative academic journals.
