    In this study, the aim is to identify the interpersonal self-efficacy beliefs of German teacher trainers’ in Turkey. It is a descriptive survey and the population of the study consists of German teacher trainers who have worked in the seven regions of Turkey during the 2012-2013 academic year. The sample comprises 52 German teacher trainers chosen randomly from the related population. The version of “The Teacher Interpersonal Self-efficacy Scale (TISE)” which was developed by Brouwers and Tomic (2002), translated into Turkish and whose reliability and validity were determined by Çapri and Kan (2006), was used to collect data. As a result of the study, it is understood that the level of self-efficacy beliefs, particularly of more experienced male teachers, is high. Keywords: German teacher trainers, self-efficacy beliefs, interpersonal self-efficacy, teaching proces

    The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the use of smart boards (SBs) on academic achievement in accordance with a multi-complementary approach (McA). The study was conducted in three stages: the first stage included the examination of meta-analytic and thematic reviews based on document review to obtain pre-complementary data and identify gaps with this data; the second one considered the process of obtaining post-complementary data with a view to eliminate the identified gaps; the third one implied the integration of the results in two stages and the presentation of recommendations to obtain complementary information. With these aims, meta-analytic, thematic and experimental analyses were carried out. The three-stage process including both qualitative and quantitative results contributed to the validity and reliability of the current study.Cilj je ovog istraživanja utvrditi kakav je učinak primjene pametnih ploča (PP) na školski uspjeh, polazeći od multikomplementarnog pristupa (MkP). Istraživanje je provedeno u tri faze: prva je faza obuhvaćala metaanalizu i uvid u teme na temelju pregleda dokumenata da bi se dobili pretkomplementarni podatci i tako utvrdile postojeće praznine; u drugoj se fazi razmatrao proces dobivanja postkomplementarnih podataka da bi se eliminirale utvrđene praznina; treća je faza podrazumijevala integraciju rezultata iz prethodnih dviju faza i davanje preporuka za dobivanje komplementarnih podataka. S tim su ciljevima provedene metaanaliza i analiza tema, odnosno proveden je eksperimentalni dio istraživanja. Spomenuti je proces proveden u trima fazama, a obuhvaćao je rezultate kvalitativne i kvantitativne obrade podataka kao doprinos valjanosti i pouzdanosti istraživanja

    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
