Abstract
Background: This paper presents the results of a study into the breadth, dynamics, and diversity of the interdisciplinary branch of cultural-historical psychology. The scatter of thematic areas within the cultural-historical approach indicates the urgent need to continue a systematic and holistic analysis of research related to cultural-historical topics in the context of its various directions and research groups.
Design: A bibliometric analysis of scientific publications indexed by the Web of Science CC was carried out for the 2010-2020 period . Our previous bibliographic study (Rubtsov et al., 2019) revealed that the number of publications on cultural-historical psychology and citations of them, has recently increased, although unevenly.
Results: According to our results, the number of publications on cultural-historical psychology is growing unevenly; publications from Russia and the United States made up almost equal shares of the sample, and third place was taken by England, followed by Finland and Sweden. The top 10 journals fell into two subject areas: Psychology and Education and Educational Research. With regard to the geographical location of the publishing houses of the top 10 journals, the highest number was taken by England and Russia. The dominant areas of research were teacher education, university education, and learning activity.
Conclusion: The most frequently used terms were Vygotsky, activity approach, CHAT, CHP, ZPD, and learning activity.
背景:本文介绍了对文化历史心理学跨学科分支的广度、动态和多样性的研究结果。文化历史研究方法中主题领域的分散表明,迫切需要在其不同方向和研究群体的背景下,继续对与文化历史主题相关的研究进行系统和全面的分析。设计:对Web of Science CC索引的科学出版物进行了2010-2020年期间的文献计量学分析。我们之前的书目研究(Rubtsov et al., 2019)显示,关于文化历史心理学的出版物数量及其引用量最近有所增加,尽管不均匀。结果:根据我们的研究结果,文化历史心理学的出版物数量增长不均匀;来自俄罗斯和美国的出版物在样本中所占的份额几乎相等,第三名是英国,其次是芬兰和瑞典。排名前十的期刊分为两个学科领域:心理学与教育学和教育研究。从排名前十的期刊的出版社的地理位置来看,英国和俄罗斯的出版社数量最多。研究的主要领域是教师教育、大学教育和学习活动。结论:Vygotsky、活动法、CHAT、CHP、ZPD、学习活动是最常用的术语。
