Sviluppi futuri: gli studenti con DSA nei corsi universitari STEM, metodo di studio e strumenti nello studio delle materie scientifiche
No full textIl capitolo propone una riflessione su un aspetto che ha assunto particolare rilevanza negli ultimi anni: l’aumento di iscrizioni degli studenti con Disturbo Specifico dell'Apprendiemnto (DSA) nei corsi di laurea appartenenti all’ area STEM (a cui appartengono le discipline Scientifiche, Tecnologiche, Ingegneristiche e Matematiche) e la crescente necessità di individuare strumenti e strategie che possano promuovere l’apprendimento di queste discipline. L’esigenza di approfondire questo aspetto si lega al fatto che ad oggi non sono chiaramente identificabili degli strumenti compensativi sufficientemente specifici per gli studenti che si trovano nel contesto universitario ad affrontare lo studio e l’apprendimento di queste materie. In queste discipline, si richiede l’acquisizione di procedure e competenze che necessitano di rigore metodologico, di acquisire specifici automatismi e che chiamano in campo processi di memoria e di calcolo, spesso compromesse
negli studenti che presentano DSA. Pertanto, si propone una
panoramica riassuntiva della letteratura con l’obiettivo di mettere in luce quelli che sono i processi cognitivi che entrano in gioco nell’apprendimento di queste materie e quelle che sono le fragilità che si rilevano negli studenti DSA nell’apprendimento di queste discipline. Infine, il capitolo si conclude con una parte più applicativa in cui vengono presentati alcuni programmi di intervento ed alcuni strumenti compensativi risultati efficaci nel promuovere l’apprendimento delle materie STEM
Le ADO-SDA-Com: nuove scale di valutazione per l’ADHD in adolescenza
Get PDFIn Italia gli strumenti per la valutazione dei sintomi dell’ADHD sono principalmente rivolti alla
fascia di età infantile, pochi sono gli strumenti a disposizione per l’età adolescenziale che
considerano anche le più frequenti comorbilità. Il presente lavoro ha lo scopo di mostrare i primi
risultati di due scale (una versione per genitori e una per insegnanti) per la valutazione dei sintomi
ADHD e per quelli dei principali disturbi presenti di solito in comorbilità (DOP, DC, sintomi
ansiosi e depressivi) costruite ad hoc per la fascia di età compresa tra i 11 e i 19 anni. Sono stati
raccolti dati su un campione di oltre 5000 ragazzi/e della popolazione italiana della scuola
secondaria di I e II grado, tenendo conto anche della tipologia di scuola frequentata (Liceo, istituto
tecnico, istituto professionale). Verranno presentate le principali caratteristiche psicometriche delle
scale e i primi dati normativi

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
