“…The interdisciplinary research cooperation between educational technology and related fields not only contributes to achieving related research results, but also can stimulate the imaginative and innovative research, and help to solve the practical and complex problems in teaching and learning [4]. Among various educational technology-related research fields, online teaching and learning, learning science and neuroscience, and the training of interdisciplinary talents in the field of instructional design can all become new areas of interdisciplinary research [5].…”

Educational technology is a new subject that integrates the merits of multiple disciplines. Under the trend of interdisciplinary integration, it is very meaningful to explore the knowledge exchange between disciplines, clarify the structure of each discipline, and thus promote the development of educational technology. Extracting data from eight core journals on educational technology, this paper investigates the integration between educational technology and other disciplines from the perspectives of references and citations. The disciplines were divided by the standard of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The results show that: educational technology has a stable disciplinary structure, featuring a high self-citation rate (i.e. the tendency to cite the literature within the discipline); educational technology has frequent knowledge exchanges with pedagogy-related disciplines, and exerts a major impact on the other secondary disciplines of pedagogy; educational technology actively absorbs the knowledge of other disciplines, and communicates frequently with external disciplines like psychology, computer science, library and information science.

Interdisciplinary research has gradually become one of the main driving forces to promote original innovation of scientific research, and how to measure the interdisciplinarity of science project is becoming an important topic in the science foundation managements. Existing researches mainly using methods, such as academic degree or institutional discipline or discipline category mapping of journals, to measure the interdisciplinarity. This study proposes an approach to mine and capture the different or complementary characteristics of interdisciplinarity of projects by combining text mining and machine learning methods. First, we construct the classification system and extract a raw paper and its discipline matrix according to the discipline category of journals where the references were published in. Second, we cut the matrix to summarise the distribution of key disciplines in each paper and extract the text features in the abstract and title to form a training set. Finally, we compare and analyse the classification effects of Naive Bayesian Model, Support Vector Machine and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model. Then, the model evaluation indicators show that the best classification effect was achieved by the BERT model. Therefore, the deep pre-trained linguistic model BERT is chosen to predict the discipline distribution of each project. In addition, the different aspects of interdisciplinarity are measured using network coherence and discipline diversity indicators. Besides, experts are invited to evaluate and interpret the results. This proposed approach could be applied to deeply understand the discipline integration from a new perspective.
