碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 學校行政碩士在職專班 === 107 === In recent years, increased attention has been devoted to teacher evaluation systems, but the evaluation results may not be able to fully interpret teacher effectiveness. To obtain a broader view on the international research in the field of teacher effectiveness, this study used citation analysis and the information visualization of bibliometrics to collate and statistically analyze the literature related to teacher effectiveness. By using the CiteSpace software program, literature measurement and analysis visualization were conducted to explore the knowledge base of teacher effectiveness, research hotspots, and research frontiers to provide future research directions. In this study, the Social Sciences Citation Index was used from the core collection of the Web of Science database, and “teacher effectiveness” was used as the search term. A total of 586 subject documents and 3,060 citations were obtained, and CiteSpace was used for cocitation analysis and keyword co-occurrence analysis. The knowledge base, research hotspots, and research frontiers of teacher effectiveness research were presented using a visual map. Based on the research and analysis results, the conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. The knowledge base of teacher effectiveness research includes the following: student achievement, teacher mobility, mathematics achievement, science-specialist student-teacher, teacher research, teacher beliefs, and preservice elementary teacher. 2. Hotspots in teacher effectiveness research include the following: pedagogical conceptual change, incorporating teacher effectiveness, emotion-regulation ability, individual student, two-year change, teacher evaluation, good teacher, economic value, dynamic model, grade assignment, indicator, cooperative learning, and poor children. 3. By using the word detection function of CiteSpace, this study found that the primary factors of research on teacher effectiveness are “professional development” and “physical education.” Finally, based on the results of this study, suggestions were made for future studies in the aspects of knowledge base for teacher effectiveness, research hotspots, research frontiers, and mapping knowledge domain analysis.
