党的十八大提出的发展目标之一是“农业现代化和社会主义新农村建设成效显著”.农村教育如何服务于这一目标的实现,在理论研究和实践探索方面,近五年的学术成果、研究重点和热点成为本课题研究的起点.我们选取2008-2012年有关农村教育的中文核心期刊论文为分析对象,采用文献计量和科学知识图谱方法,调查了我国农村教育研究现状.调研发现,教育学、农业经济、计算机软件及应用等是其重要的学科研究领域.在教育学研究中,涉及农村教育办学的各个层面,但侧重基础教育.农村教育合作研究程度偏低,而基金资助比例较高.研究的相对热点为城乡一体化、学校布局调整、教育资源、农村教师、新型农民、农业现代化、农村学前教育等.热点的出现与国家政策的出台关系密切.调研结果对未来农村教育研究规划有一定的借鉴意义.
Chinese Communist Party’s Eighteenth National Congress Report puts forward“significant effectiveness in the field of agricultural modernization and the building of a new socialist countryside” as one of our country’s development goals. How could rural education serve for the realization of this goal? Therefore the starting point of this research is either in theory or in practice to find out the emphasis and hotspot in academic achievements in the last five years. Based on the selection of the papers of core journals from 2008 to 2012 on rural education as the research object, using literature metrological method and scientific knowledge mapping method, this paper investigates the current situation of rural education research in China. The survey shows that the important research fields in rural education include the studies on education, agricultural economics, computer software and application. Education research covers all aspects of rural education, but focuses more on the basic education. Cooperation research in rural education is low, but financial aids are high. The recent research hotspots are relatively the integration of urban and rural areas, the adjustment of school layout, educational resources, teachers in rural areas, new farmers, agricultural modernization, rural preschool education, etc. The conclusion is that the emergence of hotspots is closely related to the national policy. The result of this research will have certain reference value for the future planning of rural education research.
