摘要

这项开创性的研究评估了全球南方国家(GSCs)的数字鸿沟以及虚拟教育(VE)和电子学习研究的进展情况。利用书目元数据和世界银行的研究与发展(R&D)数据,我们进行了定量的文献计量绩效分析,并评估了全球南方国家在虚拟教育/电子学习研究进展方面的研发支出之间的联系。结果表明,"东亚和太平洋地区"(EAP)的研发支出明显较高,科学文献出版量(SLP)也最高,并产生了重大影响。其他全球供应链的研发支出在 2020 年(COVID-19 期间)之前持平,之后研发资金增加,科学文献发表量相应增加了 42%。阿拉伯国家"(AS)约 67% 的 SLP 和 60% 的引文影响来自全球北部和其他 GSCs 地区的 SLP,表明其依赖性很高。此外,51%的高影响力 SLP 是 "多国出版物",主要来自非全球供应链机构,这表明合作影响力很高。东亚和太平洋地区、亚洲及太平洋地区和 "南亚"(SA)地区的差距较小。相比之下,包括 "撒哈拉以南非洲"、"拉丁美洲和加勒比 "以及 "欧洲(东亚)和中亚 "在内的欠发达国家(LDCs)中,SLPs 高和数字鸿沟大的优势国家很少。我们主张增加教育研究资金,以加强全球供应链,尤其是最不发达国家的创新研发。

A Comparative Analysis of Virtual Education Technology, E-Learning Systems Research Advances, and Digital Divide in the Global South
This pioneering study evaluates the digital divide and advances in virtual education (VE) and e-learning research in the Global South Countries (GSCs). Using metadata from bibliographic and World Bank data on research and development (R&D), we conduct quantitative bibliometric performance analyses and evaluate the connection between R&D expenditures on VE/e-learning research advances in GSCs. The results show that ‘East Asia and the Pacific’ (EAP) spent significantly more on (R&D) and achieved the highest scientific literature publication (SLP), with significant impacts. Other GSCs’ R&D expenditure was flat until 2020 (during COVID-19), when R&D funding increased, achieving a corresponding 42% rise in SLPs. About 67% of ‘Arab States’ (AS) SLPs and 60% of citation impact came from SLPs produced from global north and other GSCs regions, indicating high dependence. Also, 51% of high-impact SLPs were ‘Multiple Country Publications’, mainly from non-GSC institutions, indicating high collaboration impact. The EAP, AS, and ‘South Asia’ (SA) regions experienced lower disparity. In contrast, the less developed countries (LDCs), including ‘Sub-Sahara Africa’, ‘Latin America and the Caribbean’, and ‘Europe (Eastern) and Central Asia’, showed few dominant countries with high SLPs and higher digital divides. We advocate for increased educational research funding to enhance innovative R&D in GSCs, especially in LDCs.
