近10年(2011-2020)国际元认知研究动态:回顾与展望

What a Decade of Research on Metacognition (2011-2020) Can Inform Us: Evidence from Scientometric Analysis with CiteSpace

本文以Web of Science-SSCI核心数据库中2011至2020年间国际权威期刊所发表的有关元认知研究的1625篇论文及被引文献为数据来源,借助CiteSpace对近10年以来国际元认知研究的核心文献进行深度挖掘与分析,绘制国际元认知研究的科学知识图谱,探讨元认知研究的核心领域,挖掘本领域的高学术影响力文献,并通过关键词聚类分析元认知研究的热点。研究发现,近10年以来,国际元认知研究覆盖面广,研究内容不断演变与拓展,包括理论构成要素、信息化时代的在线应用、效果分析等多个层面,能丰富和发展当代教育心理学的内容。本文还进一步分析元认知领域内有待探索的其它课题以及未来研究的趋势,对相关领域的学者优化未来研究选题具有借鉴意义。

This paper presents a scientometric analysis of international studies on metacognition from 2011 to 2020 with CiteSpace. The research data(i.e. 1, 625 research papers) were retrieved from the core collection of the Web of Science-SSCI database in the fields of education, psychology and applied linguistics. The high-impact references, the research focuses, and the developments were visualized through the networks of co-cited references. The study analyzes the key research domains in metacognition, detects the research focuses and cutting-edge trends with key words frequency, as well as the high impact research articles with betweenness centrality. It was found that:(1) The number of relevant papers published in top international journals on metacognition has an increasing trend;(2) Metacognition research had a broad coverage. Current research focuses on exploring the elements of the basic theory, investigating its practical online application, and analyzing its effect. Future research in this area is discussed. The findings are expected to benefit the scholarship community in their decision-making on potential areas of future research.
