運用文獻計量分析創造力教育研究的演進情形與發展趨勢

Progress and Development in Creativity Education Research: A Bibliometric Analysis

為了瞭解國內外創造力教育研究的演進情形與發展趨勢，本研究篩選自「Airiti Library華藝線上圖書館」（https://www.airitilibrary.com/）與「Web of Science」（https://access.clarivate.com/）資料庫共1,625篇相關研究文獻作為樣本，以進行文獻計量分析。重要研究發現：（一）國內外在時間分布上，2000年以前皆為「萌芽期」，國內從2001至2010年為「成長期」，2011至2020年為「高原期」；國外從2001至2014年為「緩和成長期」，2015至2020年為「快速成長期」。（二）創造力教育研究包含23項研究前沿，以及「創造力的教與學」、「創造力教育理論」、「創造力教育政策」及「創造力教育應用」四種知識領域。（三）兩個資料庫的新興前沿數量都多於成長前沿，顯示不論國內外對創造力教育不僅持續受到重視和關注，並出現具發展性的新興議題。國內以「創造力的教與學」知識領域中的研究集群具長時間且連貫性的演進，「創造思考教學」和「教師創意教學」研究集群為新興前沿或成長前沿，顯示我國近年仍以創造力的教學為主要研究議題。國外以「創造力的教與學」和「創造力教育理論」知識領域中的研究集群具長時間且連貫性的演進。從近十年的研究前沿來看，教學、理論、政策到應用層面的知識領域，皆出現蓬勃成長且具發展潛力的研究集群。

This study investigated the progress and development in creativity education research. A total of 1,625 articles relevant to the topic were found in relevant databases. Bibliometric analysis was applied to the sample. The main findings of this research are as follows: (1) Creativity education research in Taiwan and abroad experienced a stage of germination prior to 2000, a period of growth during 2001-2010, and a plateau from 2011 to 2020. Abroad, 2001 to 2014 was a period of slow growth, and 2015 to 2020 featured rapid growth; (2) Creativity education research was found to consist of 23 research areas and four fields of knowledge, namely creativity teaching and learning, creativity education theory, creativity education policy, and creativity education application; (3) The number of emerging research areas exceeded the number of growth areas, indicating that the field has development potential in Taiwan and abroad. In Taiwan, the research clusters in the areas of creative teaching and learning have been evolving continuously for a long time, and the research clusters of creative thinking teaching and creative teaching for teachers are emerging or growing areas of research; this indicates that teaching creativity has become the main research topic in recent years. Abroad, research clusters in the areas of creativity teaching and learning and creativity education theory have been of interest for a long time. As evidenced by the research frontiers of the past decade documented in this paper, thriving and promising research clusters are apparent in the areas of teaching, theory, policy, and application.
