Research includes two groups studying at compulsory English preparation class in 2013-2014 academic year. The research employs a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test post-test control group design. The tests that were developed by the researcher were used to collect the quantitative data. Focus group interviews were carried out in order to collect personal opinions of students about FC and descriptive analysis were done on collected data. The test scores of experiment group taught through FC were higher than the control group taught through Traditional Education (TE) method and the difference was statistically significant. The rate of the positive comments on FC was 73.77% while the rate of negative comments was 17.39%.Bu çalışmanın amacı Tersine Eğitim yaklaşımının yabancı dil olarak İngilizce öğretiminde sınav başarısına ve bilginin kalıcılığına etkisini ve öğrencilerin bu yeni yöntem hakkındaki görüşlerini belirlemektir.

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

Dahası, günümüz öğrencileri Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojileri (BİT) ile iç içe durumdadır ve hayatlarında bu unsur önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu öğrencilere ulaşmak için dijitalleşen eğitimde BİT kullanımı kaçınılmaz görünmektedir. Eğitimciler açısından bu duruma uyum sağlamak kolay görünmemektedir ve bunun temel nedenlerinden biri öğrenme kuramlarının bu yeni duruma tam uyumlu olmamasıdır. Bu anlamda dijital ağlarla örülü bir eğitim için ortaya konan bağlantıcı öğrenme kuramının 21. yüzyıl teknoloji çağına özgü öğrenme-öğretme süreçlerine rehberlik etmesi hedeflenmiştir. Buna göre eğitimde dijital dönüşümden önemli ölçüde etkilenen yabancı dil öğretimi ve özellikle araştırmalarda yeterince ilgi görmeyen yabancı dilde dinleme becerisinin bağlantıcı öğrenme kuramına dayalı ve BİT destekli etkinlikler aracılığıyla geliştirilmesinin mümkün olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla beşinci sınıflarla bu araştırma yürütülmüştür. Karma yöntem entegre edilmiş eylem araştırması yöntemiyle yürütülen ve öğrenci ve araştırmacı günlükleri, görüşme formu ve araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen dinleme becerisi başarı testleri aracılığıyla veri toplanan bu araştırma 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılında Aksaray ili Merkez ilçesinde bir devlet ortaokulunda yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre bağlantıcı öğrenme kuramına dayalı ve BİT destekli etkinlikler MEB tarafından belirlenen beşinci sınıf dinleme kazanımlarının elde edilmesinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir biçimde etkili olmuştur. Ayrıca katılımcıların bu tür etkinliklere ilişkin büyük ölçüde olumlu görüşler ifade ettiği ve olumlu bir tutum ortaya koyduğu; olumsuz düşüncelerinin ise büyük ölçüde teknik sorunlardan ve kısmen de etkinlik tasarımı ile ilgili olduğu görülmektedir. Katılımcıların bağlantıcı öğrenme kuramı kapsamında değerlendirilebilecek davranışlar aracılığıyla öz-yönlendirme ve akran etkileşimi aracılığıyla öğrenme süreçlerini destekledikleri görülmüştür.While digitalization in education often progresses faster than educators can keep up with, it has been even more difficult for educators to conduct education entirely remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Today's students are intertwined with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and it has an important place in their lives. Therefore, the use of ICT in digitalized education seems inevitable to reach today's students. It does not seem easy for educators to adapt to this situation, and one of the main reasons for this is that learning theories are not fully compatible with this new situation. In this sense, it is aimed that the connectivist learning theory, which is put forward for the education surrounded by digital networks, will guide the learning-teaching processes specific to the technology age we live in. Accordingly, this research was carried out with fifth grade students in order to determine whether it is possible to develop foreign language teaching, which is significantly affected by digital transformation in education, and especially listening skill in English language, which do not receive enough attention in research, through activities based on connectivist learning theory and ICT-supported. The research that employed mix method integrated action research method and used participant and researcher diaries, interview form and listening achievement tests developed by the researcher as the data collection tools was carried out in a state secondary school in the central district of Aksaray province in the 2020-2021 academic year. According to the results of the research, activities based on the connectivist learning theory and supported by ICT were statistically significantly effective in obtaining the fifth grade listening outcomes determined by the Ministry of National Education. In addition, the participants expressed mostly positive opinions and showed a positive attitude towards such activities; it is seen that their negative thoughts are mostly related to technical problems and partially related to event design. It has been observed that the participants support their learning processes through self-direction and peer interaction through behaviors that can be evaluated within the context of connectivist learning theory.Bağlantıcı Öğrenme Kuramı

Old but Gold: Secondary School Students’ Communication Attitude Scale
Get PDFCommunication as a skill is not something new; however, it has become much more important than ever before as the way and with whom we communicate have changed. That is why educators need to have valid and reliable tools to understand how this skill is perceived by students. This study aims to provide a valid and reliable secondary school students’ communication attitude scale (SSSCAS). A draft form for the scale was prepared with 32 items depending on the relevant literature and reviewed by experts in the field. The revised form was applied to 397 students at a state secondary school in Aksaray city of Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic year. First, explanatory factor analysis that tests construct validity was carried out and three items were extracted from further analysis due to insufficient factor loadings. The remaining 29 items are placed under four sub-dimensions called openness to communication, body language and preferences, self-confidence, and obstacles. The structure was tested through confirmatory factor analysis and the validity of the scale with the four sub-dimensions was found to be appropriate. The Cronbach’s alpha values of all sub-dimensions and the scale were above the required level. As a result, the developed scale is a valid and reliable scale to assess communication attitudes of secondary school students
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
