Abstract

This study applies the bibliometric method to review research in collaborative learning in e-learning and analyzes the trends of research on this topic. Using quantitative tools of science mapping, 8,575 papers in the Scopus database, prior to and including 2019, were reviewed, tracing back to 1988. Retrospective analysis uncovers continuing trends in research by way of topic-related sequence and geographic differences in sub-topics by space; moreover, further analysis is undertaken on the structure of knowledge bases. This reveals that the journals of highest impact include Computers in Human Behavior, Computers & Education, and Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, while the most impactful authors are Barolli, Caballé, Chen, Daradoumis, Dimitriadis, Li, Li, Sterbini, Temperini, Tsiatsos, and Xhafa. This paper concludes that the bibliometric method can target a broad range of research; topics related to applied science and emerging technologies are still to be studied. Research topics are cross-border, not limited to geographically close nations.

电子学习环境下协同学习的发展趋势与分析(1988-2019

本研究运用文献计量学的方法对网络学习中协作学习的研究进行回顾，并分析了该主题的研究趋势。使用科学制图的定量工具，对Scopus数据库中2019年之前和包括2019年在内的8,575篇论文进行了审查，可追溯到1988年。回顾性分析通过主题相关序列和子主题的空间地理差异揭示了研究的持续趋势;并对知识库的结构进行了进一步的分析。这表明，影响最大的期刊包括《计算机在人类行为》、《计算机与教育》和《计算机辅助学习期刊》，而影响最大的作者是Barolli、caball、Chen、Daradoumis、Dimitriadis、Li、Li、Sterbini、Temperini、Tsiatsos和Xhafa。本文认为文献计量学方法具有广泛的研究对象;与应用科学和新兴技术相关的主题仍有待研究。研究课题是跨国界的，不局限于地理上接近的国家。

期刊介绍： The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
