摘要:

以2010-2014年和2020-2024年两个时段全球南方国家教育学科国际合著论文数据为基础，主要运用社会网络分析方法，构建了全球南方国家教育研究合作网络，并系统分析了网络结构演化的特征。研究发现：全球南方教育研究合作整体网络规模、密度与连通性均实现了量级跨越，从“零散、弱连接”走向“紧密、强连接”；合作网络地理格局从亚洲、非洲、拉美三大相对孤立的区域转向“区域集聚与跨洲辐射并存”；在核心-边缘结构方面，呈现出核心多极化、中间层壮大、边缘收缩但“孤岛”犹存的演化特征，同时层级分布整体上移；凝聚子群结构由地缘碎片化转向跨洲融合，形成了一个由跨区域的多连接型国家构成的“教育研究共同体”。全球南方教育研究合作网络结构演化是教育系统内外因素共同作用的结果。这些因素包括节点科研实力的跃升、合作选择中的偏好依附与路径依赖、地理邻近性影响的消解、国际组织牵引及语言文化邻近性影响等。

Abstract:

Based on data on internationally co-authored papers in education from Global South countries during the periods 2010-2014 and 2020-2024, this study primarily employs social network analysis to construct a Global South education research collaboration network and systematically analyzes the characteristics of its structural evolution. The findings are: the overall scale, density, and connectivity of Global South education research collaboration have increased by orders of magnitude, transitioning from “dispersed, weak connections” to “dense, strong connections”; the geographic pattern of the collaboration network has shifted from three relatively isolated regions—Asia, Africa, and Latin America—to one featuring “regional clustering alongside intercontinental connections”; in terms of core-periphery structure, the evolution exhibits features of the emergence of a multipolar core, expansion of the intermediate layer, and contraction of the periphery,with some parts of the network remaining isolated, while the hierarchical distribution has generally shifted upward; the cohesive subgroup structure has transitioned from geographic fragmentation to cross-continental integration, forming an “education research community” composed of countries with multiple cross-regional ties. The structural evolution of the Global South education research collaboration network is the result of the combined in?uence of factors both within and outside the education system, including the substantial increase in the research capacity of participating countries, preferential attachment and path dependence in collaboration choices, the diminishing impact of geographic proximity, the role of international organizations in fostering collaboration, and the in?uence of linguistic and cultural proximity.
