国外在线学习实证研究的可视化分析——以1990-2017年Web of Science收录文献为例

A Visual Analysis of Overseas Empirical Studies on E-Learning

文章以1990-2017近30年间WebofScience上发表的国外在线学习实证研究相关文献作为研究对象,构建机构合作图谱和文献共被引图谱,整体把握国外在线学习研究的进展与趋势。研究发现:在线学习研究的讨论热度稳步上升,学术影响力持续增强。研究团队主要以欧美国家为主,涉及多个跨学科研究机构;研究主题从关注学生群体特征转向探讨学生个体特性。未来研究趋势表现为:研究范式从知识驱动转向数据驱动;数据类型从结构化数据经由半结构化数据到多模态数据;研究主题将侧重学习者建模、领域建模、在线学习效果评价和自适应智能学习系统四个方面。

This article takes as the research subjects the literature on empirical studies of e-learning published on the Web of Science in the past thirty years from 1990 to 2017,to study the progress and trend of e-learning studies by constructing the institutional cooperation maps and the document co-citation map.It yields the following results:The heat of studying online learning is steadily going up and its academic influence continues to increase;The research teams are mostly in Europe and the United States,including a number of interdisciplinary research institutions;The theme of the study has shifted from student group characteristics to students individual characteristics.The trends of the future research are as follows:the research paradigm shifts from knowledge-driven to data-driven;Data types evolves from structured data to semi-structured data,and ultimately to multi-modal data;Future research themes will focus on learner modeling,domain modeling,evaluating the effect of e-learning and adaptive intelligent learning system.
