臺灣學校領導研究與全球學術的連結:文獻計量分析
摘要
回顧性研究對公共政策與知識基礎之建立具有重要意義,但臺灣對於學校領導領域研究的回顧並不多見,故本研究以收錄於Scopus資料庫的期刊文章為範圍,以文獻計量方法進行近20年之研究回顧,探討的核心旨趣在於瞭解本土研究與全球學術的連結。經篩選後,計以95篇中、英文文章為分析對象。重要研究發現有三:一、在發表數量與期刊方面,臺灣於2001年方有學校領導的英文論文發表於國際期刊,而世界大學排名之強調及頂尖大學計畫之推動,雖使過往獨重中文發表的狀況產生改變,惟整體發表量仍偏少,且刊登於教育領導與管理核心期刊的比例亦不及兩成。二、以文獻被引用情形分析國際能見度,近20年臺灣學校領 導論文被引用數前十名的作者,平均論文篇數為3.5篇、平均被引用數則為45.2次,其中,平均被引用數與非洲地區教育領導研究之落差為3.33倍,與亞洲、非洲及拉丁美洲三個新興地區之落差為11.78倍。三、臺灣學者之研究主題能與國際學界相呼應,但仍有部分議題尚待開展。而共引用分析結果顯示,臺灣學校領導研究的智識結構可分為學習領導、分散形式的領導、領導行為及其影響,以及社會網絡等四個論述派別。上述結果指陳全球化下臺灣教育行政領域的發展,除可致力國際影響力的提升,亦應力求議題之多元。 1. Background Systematic reviews may inform public policies and contribute to the building of a knowledge base. However, reviews of school leadership research are relatively rare in Taiwan. This study conducted a bibliometric review to analyze journal papers by Taiwanese scholars in the Scopus database published in the previous 20 years. The focus was to examine the connection between Taiwanese and global research on school leadership. 2. Research questions On the basis of the research background, four research questions were proposed: (1) What is the volume and growth trajectory of Taiwanese school leadership research? (2) What is the international visibility of Taiwanese school leadership research as revealed through citation analysis? (3) What are the main topics covered by Taiwanese school leadership research and how do they correspond to the global trend? (4) What is the intellectual structure of Taiwanese school leadership research and how do it connect with the global literature? 3. Theoretical framework (1) Intellectual development of school leadership research The theory movement in the 1950s and 1960s highlighted the development of educational administration research. Griffiths (1959) categorized these theories into four groups: social system and role theory, leadership theory, decision theory, and organizational theory. In the 1970s, contingency theory, which emphasizes the influence of context on leadership, was proposed. With the growin
