国际虚拟教育研究的热点透视及发展趋势——基于2015-2020年WOS核心数据库相关文献分析

随着第四次教育革命的来临,以VR、AR和MR为核心的虚拟技术为现代教育的变革与重塑带来了新的契机,其在教育领域的应用已成为近年来各国教育研究的热点之一。为此,基于CiteSpace可视化知识图谱软件,对Web of Science国外核心期刊数据库2015—2020年间收录的729篇文献进行图谱分析、关键词词频统计分析和共被引文献综述,发现虚拟技术在教育中的应用呈现出不断趋向深度沉浸的趋势,目前已成为沉浸式学习的主要路径。与此同时,虚拟教育为课堂转型提供了新的方向,以其为核心的交互式学习环境促进了情境化课堂、深层次学习以及差异性教学的发展。此外,开展基于虚拟技术的各学科教育实践,为改善各学科教育情境及提升相应的教育效能提供了新的机遇。在未来,还需整合5G网络通信技术以优化虚拟技术的沉浸性,同时通过构建虚拟全纳教育社区来落实全纳教育理念,促进我国特殊儿童的社会性发展。5G、AI以及区块链技术与虚拟技术的有机融合,不但有助于完善泛在学习情境的构建,充分实现学习者的个性化学习,最终还将形成智能教育新生态。

Perspectives and Future Prospects of International Virtual Reality Education Application: Based on the Literature Analysis of 2015-2020 WOS Core Database

With the advent of the fourth educational revolution, VR, AR and MR technologies have brought new opportunities for the transformation and remodeling of modern education, and their application in the field of education has become one of the hot spots of educational research in recent years. Therefore, using the CiteSpace visualization knowledge mapping software, this paper conducts mapping analysis, keyword frequency statistical analysis and co-citation literature review on 729 articles collected from the Web of Science database from 2015 to 2020. The results show that virtual reality in the application of education presents a trend to in-depth immersion, and has become the main path of immersive learning. At the same time, the education supported by virtual reality provides a new direction for classroom transformation. The interactive learning environment with its core promotes the development of situational classroom, deep learning and differential teaching. In addition, it provides a new opportunity to improve the educational situation of each discipline and enhance the corresponding educational efficiency by carrying out the educational practice of each discipline based on virtual technology. In the future, it is necessary to integrate 5 G to optimize the immersion of virtual reality, and the social development of the special children in our nationwill be promoted by building a virtual inclusive education community. In addition, the organic integration of 5 G, AI, block chain and virtual reality can not only help to perfect the construction of ubiquitous learning situation and fully realize learners’ personalized learning, but also finally form a new ecology of intelligent education.
