Il paesaggio sonoro come nuova dimensione dell’ascolto
Full text link Il presente capitolo propone una riflessione sui processi di ascolto attivo nella generazione di contesti di apprendimento in situazioni di vita reale. Il contributo vuole proporre al lettore alcune considerazioni sul modo di intendere il tema dell’ascolto attivo nella pratica educativa. Nello specifico, a partire da una riflessione sul tema dell’ascolto “ai tempi di internet”, attraverso l’esplorazione di alcuni concetti consolidati in psicologia della percezione, si vuole offrire al lettore una chiave di lettura per identificare le caratteristiche dell’ascolto intenzionale, proattivo ed empatico. Per diventare ascoltatori competenti, l'attuazione di alcune strategie può aiutare a ridurre il potenziale di stress e conflitto, facilitando maggiore apertura e costruendo un rapporto più profondo e maturo con gli altri.
Evaluación del estrés laboral del profesorado: una contribución a la validación italiana del Index of Teaching Stress (ITS-20).
Full text linkEl Index of Teacher Stress (ITS) es un cuestionario de auto-evaluación que explora la percepción de los docentes sobre el impacto que tiene en ellos la relación con los estudiantes durante el proceso de enseñanza, el sentido de auto-eficacia y la satisfacción en el trabajo, tanto al relacionarse con estudiantes como con otros adultos implicados en el proceso de escolarización. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar una versión reducida y adaptada al contexto italiano, del Index of Teacher Stress (ITS) (Greene, Abidin, y Kmetz, 1997), aplicable al profesorado de educación primaria y secundaria. Para ello, el ITS ha sido traducido y adaptado al contexto italiano incluyendo 20 ítems; se ha aplicado a 499 docentes de educación primaria y secundaria de 15 centros de Lombardía. Para su validación se efectuó análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, se calculó la fiabilidad y se verificaron criterios de validez convergente y discriminante. Los resultados confirman la estabilidad del modelo estadístico, por lo que se considera que el instrumento se puede aplicar en los centros italianos de educación primaria y secundaria
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
Distance Learning in Pandemic Age: Lessons from a (No Longer) Emergency
No full textFor the first time in the history of the global school system, the adoption of distance education modalities became necessary in response to the measures and restrictions implemented to stem the global pandemic generated by COVID-19. Online learning is not a new topic in education; it refers to studying for a certificate using online platforms that offer online courses rather than visiting lectures. Distance learning is a type of training that involves online learning under the supervision of a classroom teacher, but it can still be a little-known modality for both teachers and students. Preparing students for interactions and emotion management is essential in any teaching mode to maximize the learning and participation of the entire class group. This issue becomes even more critical in distance learning because it lacks those aspects of immediacy and concreteness typical of face-to-face interaction. The present article attempts to review the impact of distance learning versus traditional education brought about by the forced experience of distance learning due to the pandemic. In summary, this research has provided some initial findings about distant learning research during the pandemic age. To have a successful learning experience, students must be aware of their responsibilities and master their areas of autonomy, emotions, and feelings. Teaching at a distance is a challenge. As a general rule, learning activities that are successful in a traditional classroom may be adapted to the distance learning setting, but this will take more than a few minor tweaks to the slides or handouts. In order to engage pupils and maintain their attention and motivation levels, these techniques will probably call for more imaginative and inventive ways

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
