Abstract
Research in plastic and visual education covers a wide variety of topics and problems of inquiry. My objective was to identify and analyze the research in this discipline from the past decade on Web of Science; to describe the significant scientific production; and to detect thematic lines, approaches, and models. A mixed method was applied, involving network analysis, scientific mapping, the visualization of similarities, and visual analysis techniques in a structured four-phase design. The analyses allowed me to explore the objectives by establishing a map of the state of the field, with four thematic lines, nine approaches, and eight research methodologies. I found an increase in scientific production in the past 3 years, which revealed a focus on the discipline’s traditional issues, such as evaluation and educational processes, an emphasis on the educational approach over the artistic one, and an absence of significant coauthorship networks.
塑料和视觉教育的研究涵盖了各种各样的主题和探究问题。我的目标是识别和分析过去十年在Web of Science上关于这一学科的研究;描述重要的科学成果;并发现主题线,方法和模型。在结构化的四阶段设计中,采用了一种混合方法,包括网络分析、科学制图、相似度可视化和可视化分析技术。这些分析使我能够通过建立该领域的状态地图来探索目标,该地图包含四条主题线、九种方法和八种研究方法。我发现,在过去的3年里,科学产出有所增加,这揭示了对该学科传统问题的关注,比如评估和教育过程,强调教育方法而不是艺术方法,以及缺乏重要的合著者网络。
