다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to identify the major trends in domestic and international research on Dokdo education and to explore future signals to suggest directions for the advancement of Dokdo education. To achieve the research objectives, this research first collected academic research materials from both domestic and international sources to extract key words. Subsequently, by applying text mining and network analysis techniques, the article categorized these key words and identified research trends through the analysis of word frequency, relationships, and structures. Lastly, to explore future signals for domestic Dokdo education, this study analyzed the increase rates of word frequency, document frequency, and the occurrence frequency over time for key words, applying a weak signal search method. The results showed that while international research on Dokdo education mainly focuses on the role of Dokdo education from the perspective of disputes between Korea and Japan, domestic research on Dokdo education is trending towards diversification. Additionally, through the method of exploring future signals, this article recognized an increasing need for research that reflects topics related to the curriculum, textbooks, and territory, and found attempts to introduce research based on various technologies into the field of Dokdo education. This indicates that future Dokdo education should pay attention to education about territory that reflects changes over time through curriculum and textbook revisions. Furthermore, considering the characteristics of the current generation of students, known as digital natives or the Alpha generation, it is necessary to expand the research horizon into various teaching and learning methods based on future technologies.
