Purpose

A first post-WALS attempt at a thematic analysis of the conference presentations since its first annual meeting in 2007, this paper aims to achieve two major purposes: first, to capture the trends of spread and diffusion of lesson and learning studies globally and second, to draw useful implications for future conferences.

Design/methodology/approach

A thematic analysis using NVIVO12.0 coding on all forms of conference presentations found in the WALS 2019 Conference Programme was conducted. Representative cases were selected from paper and symposiums sessions to support the claims generated from the analysis.

Findings

The study provides an evidence-based confirmation of the global spread and diffusion of lesson and learning studies. It uncovers findings key to the initial spread and continued diffusion; examines funding as a mechanism enabling university–school research relationships, models of adaptations and issues of sustainability; surfaces the theoretical models and methods adopted in paper and symposia presentations. The current situation, lessons learned and possible implications for future WALS conferences are discussed.

Research limitations/implications

Inform research on practical cases.

Practical implications

Lessons learned are discussed.

Social implications

These are possible implications for future WALS conferences.

Originality/value

The originality lies in its being the first WALS post-conference analysis aiming at identifying substantive themes with potential to draw important implications for future research and subsequent years' conferences.

课程传播的趋势及其影响：WALS2019会议演讲的主题分析

目的

自2007年第一次年度会议以来，WALS首次尝试对会议演讲进行主题分析，旨在达到两个主要目的：第一，掌握全球课程和学习研究的传播和扩散趋势；第二，对未来的会议产生有益的启示。

设计/方法/方法

使用NVIVO12.0编码对WALS 2019会议计划中发现的所有形式的会议演示进行了主题分析。从纸质和专题讨论会中选择具有代表性的案例，以支持分析得出的主张。

发现

该研究为课程和学习研究的全球传播和扩散提供了基于证据的确认。它揭示了最初传播和持续传播的关键发现；将资金作为一种机制，使大学与学校之间的研究关系，适应模型和可持续性问题得以研究；阐述了论文和专题讨论会采用的理论模型和方法。讨论了目前的情况，经验教训以及对未来WALS会议的可能影响。

研究局限/意义

通知有关实际案例的研究。

实际影响

讨论所学到的教训。

社会影响

这些可能会对将来的WALS会议产生影响。

创意/价值

创意在于它是第一个WALS会议后分析，旨在确定具有实质性主题的潜力，这些主题可能对未来的研究和随后的年会产生重要的影响。
