博士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 工業教育與技術學系 === 104 === The research is to explore the relations of three topics, including “competency-based curriculum (CBC)”, “project-based learning (PBL)” and “competence indicators” (CI). Research has three purposes: (1) understanding the current situation and the emerging trends of PBL and CI by Science and Technology Text Mining; (2) develop, construct and confirm the hierarchy of PBL competence indicators; (3) understanding the relative important of PBL competence indicators. The research methods includes three steps: (1) Using the application of Web of Science (WoS) and CiteSpace, to analyze the current situation and the emerging trends of PBL and CI; (2) Using the Fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) and fuzzy Semantic Scales Method (FSSM), to confirm the hierarchy of PBL competence indicators; (3) Using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy Semantic Scales Method (FSSM), to evaluate relative weight value of PBL competence indicators. The research results includes three aspects: (1) by mining the WoS Core Collection, located 522 references of PBL, and　1343 references of CI, then, by using the applications of WoS and CiteSpace, to identify the main emerging trends and reflect on the current status of PBL and CI; (2) through 15 experts in related fields of PBL, and using FDM and FSSM to identify the hierarchy of PBL competence indicators, including three dimensions (knowledge, skills and attitudes which had ten competence indicators); (3) through 15 experts in related fields of PBL and CI, and using FAHP and FSSM to evaluate the relative weight values of PBL which has three dimension (knowledge, skills and attitudes), and the relative weight value are 0.340, 0.321 and 0.339. The contribution of the research has three aspects: (1) by Science and Technology Text Mining of PBL and CI, to provide a knowledge map for researchers and practitioners; (2) using FDM, FAHP and FSSM are innovative research methods; (3) the hierarchy of PBL competence indicators is an important reference for analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of CBC.
