Abstract

Son yıllarda e-öğrenme konusunda, farklı alanlarda birçok çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. E-öğrenme alanında yapılan çalışmaların bütünleşik olarak geniş bir perspektif ile incelenmesi ve alanın genel bir resminin görülmesi son derece zordur. Bu çalışmada, e-öğrenme alanında son on yılda gerçekleştirilmiş olan tüm çalışmalar taranarak 27.735 dergi makalesi üzerinde olasılıksal konu modellemeye dayalı bir içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Metin madenciliği yöntemleri ile yapılan analizler sonucunda e-öğrenmenin temel boyutları olarak değerlendirilebilecek beş ana boyut keşfedilmiştir. Ölçme ve değerlendirme, öğrenme ortamları, öğretim modelleri, öğretim alanları ve öğretim araçları olarak isimlendirilen bu beş ana boyutun e-öğrenme çalışmalarına ciddi katkılar sunabileceği öngörülmektedir.

Emerging Trends and Knowledge Domains in E-Learning Researches: Topic Modeling Analysis with the Articles Published between 2008-2018

Abstract

In recent years, many studies on e-learning have been carried out in different fields. It is extremely difficult to examine the studies carried out in the field of e-learning from a broad perspective and to see a general picture of the field. In this study, all studies conducted in the field of e-learning in the last ten years were extracted and a content analysis based on probabilistic topic modeling was performed on 27,735 journal articles. As a result of this analysis performed by text mining methods, five main dimensions which can be considered as the main dimensions of e-learning have been discovered. These five main dimensions, which are named as measurement and evaluation, learning environments, teaching models, teaching areas, and teaching tools, are also considered to be able to contribute significantly to e-learning studies.

Keywords
