Sophie Jehel, Alexandra Saemmer (dir.), Éducation critique aux médias et à l’information en contexte numérique
No full textL’ouvrage collectif dirigé par Sophie Jehel et Alexandra Saemmer est le fruit de multiples réflexions vouées à poser les jalons d’une éducation critique aux médias en contexte numérique en pleine effervescence. Issues de recherches empiriques menées pendant trois ans (de 2016 à 2018), les contributions rassemblées dans ce livre mobilisent un ensemble de méthodes d’analyse qui peuvent être de nature sémiotique, socioculturelle et/ou économico-politique. Elles interrogent, sous des modalités di..
Challenges and perspectives of distance teaching in Algerian higher education: A case study on ENS in Setif during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis
No full textThe objective of this contribution is to draw up an inventory of online teaching during a period of confinement. It is about presenting the representations of a new experience, strewn with pitfalls, encountered by most university teachers and more particularly those of the department of letters and French language at Mentouri Constantine 1 University.Our approach is based on a questionnaire administered to these teachers, aimed at identifying the strategies deployed by them in order to make contact with their students, pass on teachable knowledge and assess knowledge.The results show that the asynchronous mode dominates the other modes of distance education, no doubt due to the ease of use of the e-mail and the faculty site, excluding almost any form of real-time communication such as “chat” or videoconferencing, thus posing problems of monitoring and evaluation
Literature as a Space for Deploying the Cultural Representations of Algerian and French Students When Plurilinguism Makes a Difference
No full textThis study examined the potential connections between plurilingualism and pluriculturalism within a global context marked by constant transformations and the ongoing redefinition of contemporary societies. It focused on the reading of a literary text by French and Algerian students to uncover and analyze their intercultural representations. Through a comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis, the research aimed to determine whether plurilingual students are more likely to develop attitudes of openness, tolerance, and respect for otherness compared to monolingual students, who may be more inclined to adopt conservative perspectives toward foreign cultures.L’étude réalisée s’est interrogée sur les articulations possibles entre le plurilinguisme et le pluriculturalisme dans un contexte mondial marqué par des mutations constantes et des redéfinitions perpétuelles des contours des sociétés contemporaines. À cet effet, elle se fonde sur la lecture d’un texte littéraire par des étudiants français et algériens en vue de dégager et de questionner leurs représentations interculturelles. À travers une analyse quali-quantitative comparée, la recherche vise à vérifier si les plurilingues sont plus favorables à développer des attitudes d’ouverture, de tolérance et de respect de l’altérité comparativement à des étudiants monolingues plus enclins à adopter des visions conservatrices à l’égard des cultures étrangère
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
