초록

This study aimed to examine the trend in change in keywords and topics of the research of the Maker Education 2015~2020 in Korea. Abstracts of 200 academic papers related to Maker Education for the period were analyzed to find out the research trend using LDA-based Topic Modeling and suggest the implications of the Educational Technology field. As a result of the Keyword Analysis based on the value of the TF-IDF, ‘makerspace’, ‘library’, and ‘program’ appeared at the top. Next LDA-based Topic Modeling Analysis extracted seven topics which were ‘1) Maker Education for Early Childhood Education and the Necessity of Teacher Re-education’, ‘2) Student Competency and Instructional Model of Maker Education’, ‘3) Maker Education at the Museum’, ‘4) Spread of Maker Culture’, ‘5) Maker Education in Science subjects in Elementary School’, ‘6) Makerspace in Library’, and ‘7) Maker Education with a Convergence of subjects in the Regular Curriculum’. And then time-series trends were analyzed for each of the seven topics with the result of the LDA-based Topic Modeling Analysis, and ‘Maker Education for Early Childhood Education and the Necessity of Teacher Re-education’, ‘Maker Education in Science subjects in Elementary School’, and ‘Maker Education with a Convergence of subjects in the Regular Curriculum’ showed a continuous increase. These three topics could be predicted to increase in the future too. This study is meaningful in its implications and the research methodology by using LDA-based Topic Modeling to analyze trends in the research of the Maker Education. The results of this study expect follow-up researchers could use as primary data for the research of Maker Education in the future.
