In the “Directions Governing for the 12-Year Basic Education Curricula” promulgated by the Ministry of Education in November 2014, the new learning area “Technology” is comprised of courses “Living Technology (LT)” and “Information Technology (IT).” This study used co-word analysis of bibliometrics to analyze the evolution directions and knowledge orientation of the research topics of the dissertations and theses from the information education graduate programs in Taiwan and completed in the last decade (2004~2013 academic years). Keywords from 992 dissertations and theses in National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan served as the subject of this study. The results show: (1) The number of dissertations and theses significantly declined; (2) Research topical focuses changed from universal e-learning to e-learning and its instructional design; (3) The primary research topics are information education, and secondary technical-oriented information technology; (4) The co-word network maps indicate the lack of closeness between clusters and inter-nodes, which means that it is not well-structured between research focuses; and (5) The research topics completed do not concern themselves properely with teacher’s professional development and information technology literacy. |
