Challenges encountered by physical education teachers in online learning
No full textThe sudden switch in the delivery of lessons from face to face to online due to the coronavirus-19 pandemic has left educators with difficulty transitioning their traditional pedagogy to active online learning pedagogy. This study looked into the challenges encountered by teachers in conducting virtual physical education in the middle of the COVID- 19 pandemic that continues to happen today. The scope is delimited to twenty junior high school Physical Education teachers from Manila public schools whose students have limited access to technology and have lesser means to pursue online education. The researcher intended to identify methods and strategies that the teachers have utilized during the implementation of fully online learning and their responses to the challenges that they have encountered. Based on the results, inconsistent Internet connection, lack of space and equipment, low-level participation of students, and difficulty correcting students’ execution were among the obstacles they faced in online classes. Minimal transfer of skills and knowledge to students has become the major disadvantage of conducting online classes while comfort and safety unfold to be its advantages. Although online learning provided new opportunities for both teacher and learners, it could not match the effectiveness of doing class activities in the traditional classroom, school grounds, and the gym. Nevertheless, with the right activity, creative exercise routines, improved motivation, and correct instructions from moderators, quality online physical education can be ensured even after the country’s health situation returns to normal.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Goal orientation and burnout among national pool of obstacle course racing: An analysis
No full textGoal orientation is classified into task and ego. Task orientation is associated with the belief that success is a function of mastery of skills. Task-oriented individuals focus on developing skills, exerting effort, and self-improvement. Ego-orientation is linked to the notion that success is a function of how well a person performs relative to other people. For ego-oriented athletes, success is outperforming others using superior ability as opposed to high effort or personal improvement. This research obtained the goal orientation and the level of burnout of National Training Pool of Obstacle Course Racing in the year 2019. It delimited its scope to the members of national training pool of OCR who actively underwent rigorous training for the 2019 South East Asian Games and other international competitions and participated in the following events: 100m, 5km, team assist and team relay. The researchers focused on determining the athletes’ goal orientation, level of burnout, their relationship and significant difference. Descriptive method of research was used to come up with an adequate and accurate interpretation of the findings concerning the current status of OCR athletes. A survey questionnaire was developed for the gathering of data and was utilized in the conduct of the athletes’ training. The result of the study shows that task orientation has generally no significant relationship in the over-all burnout of the athletes while there is a significant difference in athletes’ task and ego orientation and athletes’ types of burnout. The way how athletes motivate themselves, whether intrinsically or extrinsically doesn’t affect their level of burnout therefore, null hypothesis 1 is accepted. On the other hand, these motivations create a difference on athletes’ performances that is why null hypothesis 2 is rejected. Comparably, being actively involved and successful in sports doesn’t mean athletes are not prone to burnout the reason null hypothesis 3 is rejected
