21世纪以来我国学前教育成本研究的现状审视与未来趋势——基于CiteSpace的可视化分析

A Review of the Current Status and Future Trends of Preschool Education Cost Research in China since the 21st Century--A Visual Analysis Based on CiteSpace

学前教育成本关系到学前教育经费投入、学费制定,更与学前教育高质量发展息息相关。为探究我国当前学前教育成本研究的现状及未来发展趋,以中国知网平台的文献作为数据样本来源,利用CiteSpace软件对2000—2023年学前教育成本领域的267篇文献进行可视化分析,发现有如下特点:相关领域研究在我国起步较晚、研究人员合作密切、尚未形成核心作者群;研究内容丰富广泛,聚焦于成本分担问题;侧重于理论阐述,缺乏应用研究;侧重于定性研究,研究方法较单一。在未来相关研究中,建议学者综合运用多种研究方法,加强对学前教育事权财权与政府支出责任的划分、成本分担比例及其机制、幼儿园成本核算与管理等方面展开研究,完善有关普惠性幼儿园成本的实证研究,为相关决策服务提供有效支撑。

The cost of preschool education is related to the investment in preschool education funds,the formulation of tuition fees,and is closely linked to the high-quality development of preschool education.In this context,taking the literature on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)platform as the data sample source,and using CiteSpace software to conduct a visual analysis of 267 documents in the field of preschool education cost from 2000 to 2023,it is found that the research in this field started relatively late in China,researchers collaborate closely,and a core group of authors has not yet been formed.The research content is rich and extensive,focusing on cost-sharing issues.It tends to focus on theoretical elaboration rather than applied research,and qualitative research methods are preferred,leading to relatively monotonous research methods.Therefore,in future related research,it is recommended that scholars comprehensively apply various research methods,strengthen research on the division of preschool education administrative and financial powers and government expenditure responsibilities,cost-sharing ratios and mechanisms,and kindergarten cost accounting and management,and improve empirical research on the cost of inclusive kindergartens,so as to provide effective support for relevant decision-making services.
