No full textThe main purpose of this study was to describe the organizational commitment of administrators and teachers in private and public secondary schools. İn order to reach this purpose the following questions were investigated: 1. Concidering organizational commitment of teachers and administrators of secondary schools in terms of compliance, identification and internalization dimensions, a. Do the perceptions of participants differentiate on the basis of school type (private/public) they work and their tasks (administrators/teachers)? Do the school type and task factors affect compliance, identification and internalization dimensions of organizational commitment? b. Do the perceptions of the participants differentiate in three dimensions (compliance, identification, internalization) of organizational commitment, on the basis of sub grups formed according to tenure, gender, teacher educating institution, education level, and some economic indicators (house of residence, private car, whether his wife works or not, working in an additional job, need to have an additional job and income)? As mantioned above, the organizational commitment was examined in terms of three dimensions (compliance, identification and internalization). İn order to achieve this purpose, a research questionnaire "Organizational Commitment Scale" (OCS) was developed using a five-point Likert-type scale by the researcher. This scale was used to measure administrators and teachers perceptions concerning organizational commitment in private and public secondary schools. The data were collected from a sample of randomly selected 690 respondents (108 administrators and 582 teachers) in 28 secondary schools (11 private, 17 public schools). These schools were selected randomly among the secondary schools in seven provinces of Ankara. The data gathered by the questionnaire were analyzed using mean score, t-test LSD test, one way anova and two way anova techniques. The main findings resulting from this study were as follows: 1. Concerning compliance dimension of organizational commitment, while the mean score obserwed in public secondary schools and teachers was higher than in private200 schools and administrators, the commitment of administrators and teachers in this dimension was not differentiated according to the school type. On the other hand, in both identification and internalization dimensions, the mean score observed in private secondary schools and administrators was higher than in public schools and teachers. In the same dimensions, it was also higher in private school administrators and teachers than in public school administrators and teachers, and was higher both in private and public school administrators man in private and public school teachers. 2. While the perception levels of participants those who work in an additional job and those who need to have an additional job were higher in compliance dimension; the perception levels of male employees, who have private cars, and whose wifes don't work and those who don't need to have an additional job were higher in both identification and internalization dimensions. And finaly those who live in a no rented house, have a higher perception levels of organizational commitment only in internalization dimension. 3. And generally the perception levels of participants whose school tenures are high, were higher in identification dimension; Those whose incomes were high, were higher both in identification and internalization dimensions; and those who graduated from institue of education, teacher high school, high institue of islam and theology faculty; and those who have education at pre-bachelor's degree level, were high only in internalization dimension of organizational commitment.
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

Full text linkBu araştırma; Bilim ve Sanat Merkezindeki (BİLSEM) üstün yetenekliler eğitiminin sürdürülebilirliğine ilişkin öğrenci algılarını belirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Nitel tarzda, mülakat/görüşme tekniğikullanılarak yapılan araştırmanın örneklemini Şanlıurfa Bilim ve Sanat Merkezine devam eden 22 üstün yetenekli öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada öğrencilere; uzman görüşleri alınarak oluşturulan; "BİLSEM'lerin fiziki durumunu, araçgereç, materyal durumunu, danışmanlarınızı, BİLSEM'lerdeki eğitimi üstün yeteneklilerin eğitimi açısından nasıl değerlendiriyorsunuz ve mevcut haliyle Merkezdeki eğitimin sürdürülebilirliğine ilişkin görüşleriniz nelerdir?", soruları sorulmuştur. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre öğrenciler: BİLSEM'in fiziki koşullarının üstün yetenekliler eğitimi için yetersiz olduğunu, Dil-Edebiyat, Görsel Sanatlar ve Müzik alanında öğrenim görenler BİLSEM'in araç- gereç ve materyal bakımından yetersiz olduğunu, BİLSEM'de görevlendirilen danışmanların (öğretmen) özveriyle çalıştıklarını; ancak her eğitim yılı başında danışmanların (öğretmen) değişmesinin proje çalışmalarını sekteye uğrattığını belirtmişlerdir. BİLSEM'in genel durumuna dair değerlendirmede; ise öğrenciler BİLSEM'de bulunmaktan memnun olmakla birlikte; ilkeli bir üstün yetenekliler politikasının bulunmayışını, TEOG, YGS-LYS gibi sınavların oluşturduğu psikolojik baskıyı, BİLSEM'de geçirilen zamanın azlığını, proje çalışma koşullarının yetersizliğini, BİLSEM'e ulaşımdaki sıkıntıları üstün yetenekliler eğitiminin sürdürülebilirliğini engellediğini belirtmişlerdir.This study was conducted in Science and Art Centers (BİLSEM) to determine gifted students' perceptions about the sustainability of education for gifted students. This study was conducted in qualitative manner with interview forms, are composed of 22 gifted students attending Şanlıurfa Science and Art Center. The participants in the study were asked about the physical conditions, instruments, tools, materials in BİLSEM and about their consultants, evaluation of their education in BİLSEM in terms of the gifted students and the sustainability of the present education. The findings obtained in this study are as follows: The physical conditions of BİLSEM are inadequate for the education of gifted students, the appointed consultant (teacher) of BİLSEM work with dedication, but the change of consultants (teachers) at the beginning of each academic year inhibits project work. Regarding the general evaluation of BİLSEM, students were found to be glad with being in this facility; however, the psychological pressure of TEOG, YGS, LYS exams on students, the level of time spent at BİLSEM, deficiencies in project working conditions, difficulties in transportation to BİLSEM were found to be the problems most stated by students regarding the sustainability of education in BİLSEM
