Research Trends and Prospects in Early Childhood Education during the Post COVID-19 Pandemic Era

本研究旨在探討COVID-19流行期間幼兒教育研究的趨勢，特別是考慮到該領域需要迅速應對大流行的影響。運用Scopus資料庫進行文獻檢索，因該資料庫擁有大量同儕審閱的期刊，可作為文獻計量分析研究所需的資料集。本研究涵蓋2020∼2022年的幼兒教育主題文獻，並使用了Bibliometrix和Biblioshiny等R統計工具進行分析。文中針對三個問題進行探討與回應：以文獻發表量作為權威學者、期刊、機構與國家之效能分析，從最高產出排序中了解幼兒教育領域的權威影響者，並使用高被引文獻分析找出該領域之重要關鍵文獻及其發展脈絡；其次，透過社會網路分析試圖找出研究領域的熱門主題；最後，運用趨勢分析探討幼兒教育研究文獻中的未來路徑，並對該領域可能的發展提出見解。

This paper aims to examine the trends in research studies on early childhood education (ECE) during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly considering the need for a swift response to the impact of the pandemic. Research papers acquire from the Scopus database, which has a huge amount of peer reviewed literature, are examined in this study, and interfaces to access are provided for bibliometric research. This study concludes papers from 2020 through 2022, use tools such as Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny. The conclusions for this study are as follows. First, using the number of publications as the efficacy analysis of scholars, sources, organizations, and countries in early childhood education, and analyzing high-cited papers to determine the most important key literature and research trends in this field. Second, discovering popular research themes through social network analysis. Finally, trend analysis is used to explore future paths in the early childhood education research, as well as make suggestions for the research agenda in terms of ECE in the COVID-19 pandemic.
