数位学习领域主题分析之研究

Subject Analysis of E-Learning Research

近年来数位化资讯技术应用於教与学情况已成为趋势，各国纷纷将数位学习的推动列为国家重要政策，对数位学习领域之研究发展极为重视。本研究采广义数位学习定义之检索策略，蒐集2000～2009年间合计2,125篇数位学习领域SSCI期刊文献，以自动化内容探勘工具CATAR进行剖析，再分别以共现字及书目对进行研究主题分析，藉此归纳数位学习领域的研究主题架构。本研究归纳结果，除帮助研究人员检视自己的领域专长、掌握数位学习各研究主题发展脉络、做为学者专家选定研究主题之参考，更有助於了解国际间数位学习领域的研究发展现况。

In recent years, the global trend of applying information technology to teaching and learning has seen many countries promote e-learning as an important policy. This trend has led to the development of research topics in e-learning. The present study used a generalized definition of e-learning as its search strategy and retrieved a total of 2,125 SSCI journal articles in the field of e-learning from 2000 to 2009. The articles were analyzed with the scientometric tool, CATAR, based on co-word and bibliographic coupling analyses to determine the salient research subjects. These e-learning research subjects were verified and compared with those compiled by domain experts. The results of this study will help researchers look into their own field specialties, understand the developing trends in e-learning research, indicate researchers who have had influence in e-learning research, and determine future research subjects.
