The effectiveness of a Metacognitive Training Program on critical Thinking skills development of University Students
Full text linkهدفت هذه الدراسة إلى استقصاء فعالية برنامج تدريبي ما وراء المعرفي على تنمية مهارات التفكير الناقد لدى طلبة الجامعة، والى الكشف عما إذا كان هذا الأثر يختلف باختلاف جنس الطالب، ومستواه الدراسي، والكلية التي ينتمي لها في الجامعة. وقد تكونت عينة الدراسة من (72) طالبا وطالبة من مستوى البكالوريوس تم توزيعهم عشوائيا على مجموعتين: المجموعة التجريبية والمجموعة الضابطة. ولتحقيق أغراض الدراسة، تم بناء برنامج تدريبي تضمن (13) موقفا تم التدريب فيها على مهارات ما وراء المعرفة الثلاث ( التخطيط والمراقبة والتقويم ) من خلال جلسات البرنامج التي كان عددها (16) جلسه ومدة كل جلسة ساعة واحدة، استخدم في هذه الدراسة اختبار "Watson-Glaser" للتفكير الناقد بعد التحقق من صدقه وثباته على طلبة الجامعة المشاركين في الدراسة.
وقد أشارت نتائج تحليل التباين المصاحب إلى وجود اثر للبرنامج التدريبي في تطوير التفكير الناقد لدى عينة الدراسة عند مستوى الدلالة (α=0.5) ولصالح المجموعة التجريبية، ولم تظهر النتائج وجود اثر للبرنامج التدريبي يعزى إلى متغير جنس الطالب ومستواه الدراسي والكلية التي ينتمي إليها.This study aimed at investigating the Effectiveness of a
Metacognitive Training Program on Critical Thinking skills development
of University Students and whether the effectiveness differs due to
students gender, college and level of education. A sample of (72)
University students were randomly assigned into two groups: The
Experimental group and the Control group. To achieve the objectives of
this study, the researchers developed a training program which consisted
of (13) topics.
The researchers used this program to train the students on
metacognitive skills: Planning , Monitoring and Evaluating. The students
received (16) training sessions each lasting for sixty minutes. The
researchers used Watson-Glaser critical thinking test as a Pre-and -Post
measurement. Analysis of ANCOV A revealed that the training program
had significant effectiveness on developing critical thinking in favor of
the experimental group.
The results however showed no significant differences in critical
thinking due to students gender, college and the level of education. The
results were discussed in the light of previous research and a number of
recommendations were suggested
Linguistic, Educational and Cultural Difficulties That May Affect Arab Students' English Language Proficiency

Whereas, the graduate students, who were older and had been studying in the United States for more years and were performing well at their academic level, felt more strongly about their perceptions of the linguistic-cultural influences that might hinder their English language proficiency.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD

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
