基于CiteSpace的国内外STEM教育研究比较分析

Comparative Analysis of STEM Education Research at Home and Abroad Based on CiteSpace

随着21世纪社会对高素质人才培养的新要求,STEM教育迅速兴起和发展。以CNKI和Web of Science中收录的STEM教育相关的核心期刊为数据来源,基于文献计量学理论,利用CiteSpace软件对发文量、作者与机构、关键词进行分析,探索其研究热点、研究主题和发展趋势。研究发现,第一,发文量呈现先增长后波动的趋势,研究在不断深化和拓宽;第二,各研究作者和机构之间合作度不高;第三,研究热点、主题与国家政策联系密切,但国内外研究侧重点不尽相同;第四,国内外未来将从“计算思维”“设计思维”等思维的养成进行探索。

With the new requirements of the 21st century society for the cultivation of high-quality talents,STEM education rises and develops rapidly.With the core journals related to STEM education included in CNKI and Web of Science as data sources,based on the theory of bibliometrics,CiteSpace software was used to analyze the number of publications,authors,institutions and keywords,and explore their research hotspots,research topics and development trends.The findings are as follows:First,the number of published papers shows a trend of first growth and then fluctuation,and the research is constantly deepening and broadening;Second,the degree of cooperation between the authors and institutions is not high;Third,the research hotspots and themes are closely related to national policies,but the research emphases at home and abroad are not the same;Fourth,the future at home and abroad will explore the cultivation of thinking such as“computational thinking”and“design thinking”.
