Recently, there has been growing educational interest in competency. Global organizations, such as the United Nations (UN) and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which are leading the discourse on education reform, are undertaking the lead in spreading awareness regarding competency education. Since 2015, the number of published articles on competency education has been rapidly increasing. This paper aims to provide significant implications for creating a sustainable future of competency education. A topic modeling method was used to empirically analyze latent topics and international research trends in 26,532 articles published on competency-based education (CBE). As a result of the analysis, 15 topics were derived, including “approach to competency development.” In addition, five topics including “learning skills” and “teacher training” were found to be hot topics with the increasing article publication. The rapidly changing modern society is calling for a transformation in education. We hope that the results of this study paves the way for further research exploring new directions for education, such as competency education.

使用主题建模探索基于能力的教育的潜在主题和国际研究趋势

最近，人们对能力的教育兴趣日益浓厚。引领教育改革话语的联合国 (UN) 和经济合作与发展组织 (OECD) 等全球组织正在率先传播有关能力教育的意识。自2015年以来，能力教育的发表文章数量迅速增加。本文旨在为创造能力教育的可持续未来提供重要意义。使用主题建模方法对基于能力的教育 (CBE) 发表的 26,532 篇文章中的潜在主题和国际研究趋势进行了实证分析。作为分析的结果，得出了 15 个主题，包括“能力发展方法”。此外，随着文章发表量的增加，“学习技巧”、“师资培训”等5个话题成为热点。瞬息万变的现代社会呼唤教育转型。我们希望这项研究的结果为进一步研究探索新的教育方向铺平道路，例如能力教育。
