    Impacts of Pibid on the educational work of supervisors

    No full text
    The present work consisted of an effort to analyze which knowledges and practices serve as a foundation for the educational work of supervising teachers of the Pibid (Institutional Teaching Initiation Scholarships Program) who were scholarship students of the Program during the graduation course, seeking to understand how the experience in the Pibid has impacted on their professional practice and on their role as co-trainers of future teachers. When we decided to investigate what kind of knowledge and teaching practices Pibid has provided, we followed and analyzed the daily work of 07 supervisor-teachers who had been undergraduate students who participated in the Pibid as scholarship students of teaching initiation; this organization was related to the perspective inspired on the ethnography that we adopted and that seeks to analyze the socially configured phenomena. These supervisors participated in 06 sub-programs of the Pibid at UFTM and worked as co-trainers of undergraduate students, who participated in Pibid as scholarship students of teaching initiation, in 06 state schools in the city of Uberaba, in the state of Minas Gerais, during the year 2017. In the field work, we made observations of classes and meetings of these professionals with the scholarship students of teaching initiation, as well as interviews with the supervisors themselves. Through the present study, we confirm the importance of the school and the classroom as fundamental spaces and also of the exchange with the universities for the initial and continued formation of teachers, which demonstrates the great importance of the Pibid, making it possible not only to minimize the clash of reality for beginning teachers, but also to overcome the professional loneliness in which the active teachers find themselves, also allowing, above all, that knowledges and teaching practices arise from the dialogue between the subjects involved with teaching-learning around real questions in the disciplines to be taught, in the curricula and in the daily experiences of primary schools and universities. In this context we understand that Pibid was an experience that expanded and strengthened personal and professional knowledge through a work that involved dialogues, studies, readings, promotion and participation in events for teachers and students of the university and basic education, standing out as a fundamental aspect of the work carried out, an effective construction of relations between theory and practice.

Ao decidirmos investigar que tipo de saberes e práticas docentes o Pibid tem proporcionado, acompanhamos e analisamos o trabalho cotidiano de 07 professores-supervisores que foram graduandos que participaram do Pibid como bolsistas de Iniciação à Docência; essa organização relacionou-se à perspectiva inspirada na etnografia que adotamos e que busca analisar os fenômenos configurados socialmente. Esses professores-supervisores participaram de 06 subprogramas do Pibid da UFTM e trabalharam como coformadores de licenciandos, bolsistas de Iniciação à Docência, em 06 escolas da rede estadual de ensino de Uberaba, em Minas Gerais, durante o ano de 2017. No trabalho de campo, realizamos observações de aulas e de reuniões desses profissionais com os bolsistas de ID, além de entrevistas com os próprios supervisores. Por meio do presente estudo, confirmamos a importância da escola e da sala de aula como espaços fundamentais e do intercâmbio com as universidades para a formação inicial e continuada de professores, o que demonstra a grande importância do Pibid, possibilitando não apenas minimizar o choque de realidade para professores iniciantes, mas também superar a solidão profissional em que se encontram os professores em exercício, permitindo também, sobretudo, que saberes e práticas docentes se constituam a partir do diálogo entre os sujeitos envolvidos com o ensino-aprendizado em torno de questões reais nas disciplinas a serem ensinadas, nos currículos e nas experiências cotidianas das escolas de educação básica e das universidades. Nesse contexto, entendemos que o Pibid constituiu-se numa experiência que ampliou e fortaleceu conhecimentos pessoais e profissionais por meio de um trabalho que envolveu diálogos, estudos, leituras, promoção e participações em eventos para professores e estudantes da universidade e da educação básica, sobressaindo como aspecto fundamental do trabalho realizado, uma construção efetiva de relações entre teoria e prática.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
