国外协作学习理论的演进与前沿热点——基于科学知识图谱的研究

Evolution, Research Fronts and Focus of Collaborative Learning Outside China: Based on Mapping Knowledge Domain

协作学习作为当代主流的教学理论与策略之一,在国际教育领域受到了高度关注。近二十年来,协作学习的研究在新的理念与技术条件的影响下呈现出许多新的特点。研究运用知识图谱的方法与技术对国外二十年来有关协作学习的1175 篇SSCI 来源文献进行可视化分析,以探索近二十年来国外协作学习理论演进的关键路径和研究的前沿领域与热点。研究显示,二十年来国外协作学习理论研究发展大致经历了以两次转型(研究单元变化、过程导向)和明显的技术整合趋势为特征的四个发展阶段:持续奠基发展期、研究单元转型与CSCL 发端期、过程导向转型与信息技术的持续关注期、CSCL 迸发与协作脚本理论发展期。研究得出的结论包括:情境学习理论对协作学习有重要的奠基作用;CSCL 是目前协作学习领域最热门的研究分支,学习环境、学习过程、协作学习系统等也受到高度关注;基于网络的协作学习成为目前最重要的研究前沿领域,其它前沿领域包括学习环境、知识管理、协作学习活动、学习成效等。

This paper carries on the visual analysis of collaborative learning research outside China, which includes about 1175 data of SSCI for more than twenty years. Using the mapping knowledge domain's method and technology, this study explores the key path of theory evolution as well as research forefronts and focus of collaborative learning in other countries during the twenty years. Studies have shown that collaborative learning theory goes through four periods, including continuous foundation period, research unit transformation and CSCL beginning period, process-oriented transformation and information technology continuous attention period, and CSCL bursting and collaboration script theory development period. Situated learning is the core basis for collaborative learning. CSCL is still one of the hottest research topic in current collaborative learning research field. Learning environment, learning process, and collaborative learning system have been paid much attention in collaborative learning field. Online collaborative learning is the most popular forefront of collaborative learning research area; other research front includes learning environment, knowledge management, collaborative learning activities, and learning outcomes.
