Didactic Strategies and Competencies of Gifted Students in the Digital Era
Get PDFThis paper presents the findings of explorative research undertaken on an intentional sample consisting of 112 master’s students of pedagogy in Serbia, assumed to be potentially gifted and to have demonstrated academic giftedness, since their average mark during their studies was above 9.00 on a scale of 1.0 to 10.0. The intention was to examine the influence of didactic strategies and methods on the competencies of gifted students and thus verify the hypothesis on the significance of certain didactic strategies and methods for the contribution of higher education teaching in order to encourage intellectual autonomy in learning in the case of gifted university students. The method of systematic non-experimental observation was used, accompanied by an assessment scale used by students to estimate the level of the presence of the listed strategies, methods or procedures during studies and to what an extent learning and teaching strategies used in lectures, exercises, seminars, and consultations addressed their needs and contributed to the development of competencies. When making a choice between didactic strategies, methods and procedures, particular attention was paid to the 52 offered methods in order to include 30 of those that refer to problem learning,
creative approaches to learning, critical autonomy etc., and for the list of 35 competencies of which 30 refer to independent thinking and are elements of critical thinking and indicators of, above all, approaches to the learning of gifted students. The essential finding was that the achieved competencies with higher average values were, mostly, those that are important for intellectual functioning, but that were not directly connected to what explains critical thinking, intellectual autonomy, as well as to the knowledge of basic concepts, the understanding of facts, and the giving explanations of events

Get PDFCilj je ovog rada istražiti odnose između strategija učenja
stranog jezika i osobina ličnosti među studentima
pedagoških i inženjerskih znanosti. Kvantitativno istraživanje
upitnika o vlastitoj prijavi uzeto je za procjenu strategija
učenja i individualnih osobina ličnosti. Izračunani su
Pearsonovi koeficijenti korelacije, a šest linearnih regresija
provedeno je kako bi se testirala prediktivna uloga dimenzija ličnosti kada su strategije učenja jezika upotrijebljene kao
kriterij. Rezultati sugeriraju da studenti s različitim osobinama
ličnosti imaju različite preferencije kada su u pitanju
strategije učenja. Čini se da dvije od pet osobina ličnosti iz
ove studije imaju važnu ulogu u predviđanju jezične
strategije. Dok je niska savjesnost bila prediktivna za češću
upotrebu kognitivnih i kompenzacijskih strategija, visok
intelekt bio je prediktivan za češću upotrebu kognitivnih i
metakognitivnih strategija. Studija upozorava na važnost
upravljanja studentima kroz zadovoljavanje njihovih osobnih
razlika u odabiru strategija učenja, a ne oslanjajući se na
stereotipe osobnosti koji prevladavaju. Dobiveni rezultati
mogu pomoći u odabiru odgovarajuće strategije učenja koja
odgovara osobnosti studenta.The paper aims to investigate the relationships between
foreign language learning strategies (FLLS) and personality
traits among students of education and engineering sciences.
Quantitative survey of self-report questionnaire was used to
evaluate learning strategies and individual personality traits.
Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated and six
linear regressions were conducted to test the predictive role
of personality dimensions when language learning strategies
were used as a criterion. The findings propose that students
with different personality traits have different preferences
when it comes to learning strategies. Two out of five
personality traits from this study seem to have an important
role in the prediction of the FLLS type used. While low
Conscientiousness was predictive of more frequent usage of
Cognitive and Compensation strategies, high Intellect was
predictive of more frequent usage of Cognitive and
Metacognitive strategies. The study points out the significance
of managing students by meeting their personal differences
in choosing learning strategies, and not by relying on the
personality stereotypes that are predominant. The obtained
results can help teachers to select appropriate learning
strategies that match students' different personality types
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
