Knowledge Map Construction Of Education Technology Based On Citation Analysis Method

When instructional technology developed to a certain stage, education technology gradually formed a subject which specialized in studying instructional technology phenomenon and law. With modern scientific technology widely used in the education field, education technology appeared and developed. In the process of practice, it positively absorbed the knowledge of pedagogy, psychology, communication and computer science. Education technology has become a application subject which core is the system method and belongs to the education science fields. As a new cross subject, education technology develops rapidly in western countries, but it develops slowly in our country. So, education technology of western countries is more mature than our country’s.Citation analysis uses math and logic methods to analyze quote, cited phenomenon and law of journals, academic papers, books, etc. Citation analysis is a method which can reveal the research object’s characteristics and relationship. It can be used to analyze the cited relationship between quotations. Knowledge map that is widely used in the visualization citation analysis is a graph which can show evolution process and structural relationship of scientific knowledge. Knowledge map can use visualization technology to describe knowledge resources and its carrier which are accumulated along with the time development. Knowledge map can also draw, mine, analysis, display scientific knowledge and the relationship between them.This study will retrieval quotations which is related with education technology in SSCI database, apply multivariate statistical analysis method and social network analysis method with the help of Bibexcel, Spss, Ucinet and NerDraw software to construct education technology’s knowledge maps of academic groups and research hotspots, explore research genres and its authority figures behind of the academic groups, determine the content of research hotspots and frontier research hotspot evolution in nearly five years. The author hopes that the modern foreign education technology’s research mainstreams and hotspots can generally present to China education technology researchers, and let China education technology researchers to realize international education technology’general view, which can help us to profit from their study and derive elite. The author expect that this effort can promote our country’s education technology development, even in a little extent.
