Abstract
The objective of this document is to analyze the evolution of the scientific literature on blended learning in the university context over the past 10 years by using bibliometric analysis and cluster analysis. Different descriptive statistical techniques commonly used in bibliometric analysis and science mapping were used to analyze the bibliographic dataset; in addition, we use co- word analysis and network analysis to examine author keywords and search for thematic clusters. Thus, six thematic groups were identified. Most of these groups focus on qualitative analysis of the experiences of hybrid courses. Other clusters focus on the technological adaptations of the courses and on evaluating the results of these adaptations from the perspective of the students. Few documents contain reports related to the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of a BL course in higher education with a teaching approach.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
