Abstract

Although science education and mathematics education share many characteristics as neighboring research disciplines, comparisons between the two research fields in the literature have rarely been made. In this study, we examine the two fields’ similarities and differences in the local context of South Korea by analyzing 2,426 research articles published in 15 selected local journals from both fields. The analysis revealed interesting commonalities and divergences across the two fields, suggesting a high degree of similarity in the distribution of research topics across the two fields. Nevertheless, some topics were more frequently studied in one field than the other. Based on the results, we suggest that understanding the ongoing research agendas and aims of adjacent disciplines such as mathematics education will be beneficial to the science education community by allowing self-reflection and facilitating interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. Several potential ways in which the two disciplines can cross-fertilize are discussed.
2014-2018年韩国科学与数学教育研究趋势:对部分地方期刊出版物的跨学科分析
尽管科学教育和数学教育作为相邻的研究学科有许多共同的特点,但文献中很少对这两个研究领域进行比较。在这项研究中,我们通过分析从两个领域选出的15份地方期刊上发表的2426篇研究文章,在韩国本土背景下检验了这两个领域的异同。该分析揭示了这两个领域有趣的共性和差异,表明这两个研究领域的研究主题分布高度相似。尽管如此,一些主题在一个领域的研究频率高于另一个领域。基于研究结果,我们建议了解数学教育等相邻学科正在进行的研究议程和目标,通过允许自我反思和促进跨学科交流与合作,将有利于科学教育界。讨论了这两个学科交叉施肥的几种潜在方式。
