A science fiction story as a medium of stimulation for chiildren's creative imagination : the impact of modes of presentation and styles of learning and thinking on the children's creative imagination
No full textThis research aimed to explore whether modes of presentation and styles of learning and thinking (L&T) had an impact on the creative imagination of Qatari children (9-11 years old). The research explored how to stimulate the children’s creative imagination through presenting an imaginative story to them using two different modes of presentation, one verbal and the other visual. The investigation sought answers to three questions: does an imaginative story stimulate the children’s creative imagination? If so, then how?; does the mode of presentation (visual/verbal) contribute in stimulating the children’s creative imagination? If so, then which mode is more effective, and why?; and do the children’s responses imply any relationship between their styles of learning and thinking and the mode of presentation? This study adopted a systematic comparison technique between two groups. One group watched the story and the other group listened to the story. Findings were as follows: This type of story is highly engaging for the children and stimulating to their creative imagination. The mode of presentation plays a strong role in the children’s engagement with the story, the visual presentation being more engaging. This high degree of engagement stimulates the children’s creative imagination. High engagement comes from matching between the mode of presentation and the children’s style of L&T. High originality in the children’s responses comes from mismatching between the mode of presentation and their style of L&T. This research has implications in cognitive studies, children’s creative imagination, children’s literature and children’s learning and teaching.</p
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
