State and Dissemination of Connectivism. Bibliometric Analysis
Abstract
Parallel to the spectacular development of communication technologies in recent decades, research programs have emerged that seek to build learning theories that respond to the communicative project of the network society. One of these programs is the one that tries to make its way around the metaphor of "connectivism". Based on this observation, the present paper sets out to analyze the state of development of Connectivism based on publications in journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. For this purpose, the bibliometric analysis methodology was adopted following the Prisma model. It is detected that, although there is a rising scientific production that allows us to see a budding development of connectivism, this production is not focused on the development of the theory itself but serves as a pragmatic framework to address three central themes: MOOC, teaching approach and e-learning. The development of Connectivism in less formal publications remains to be seen, but more important is to know whether this open and networked learning framework was significant in emergent digital education and whether it will be relevant in blended education.
