Scientific achievements of special pedagogy in the context of contemporary research challenges
No full textThe article presents the scientific and research achievements of special education, with particular emphasis on the last 10 years. In the introduction, the author presents the achievements of Maria Grzegorzewska, recognized as the founder of Polish special pedagogy, and then outlines the most important research achievements of scientists - special educators from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Against this background, a review of the literature was presented using one of its forms, namely the study of the scope of literature. 73 monographs developed on the basis of research conducted by the author / author, in which the title, introduction and / or table of contents searched for "special education", "disability / person with disability" and "analysis of research results". The review includes subject(s), object(s) and research approach identified in the found literature. The obtained data were referred to research and development areas outlined by Amadeusz Krause in the article entitled Theoretical and empirical problems of special pedagogy. An outline of the research areas, published in the magazine "Disability. Scientific Half-Yearly " 2009 No. 1. This study was adopted as a reference because it was published 10 years ago, and the period 2009-2019 was designated to examine the contemporary achievements of special pedagogy in order to be able to determine the directions of development of the discipline, its most important achievements, dominant tendencies in the selection of research paradigms and outline development trends for the coming years
Nauczanie kierowane jako metoda rozwijająca samodzielność oraz autonomię dzieci i młodzieży z głęboką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną
Get PDFThe purpose of this article is to show the possibility of using conductive education system and its effectiveness in working with children and young people with profound intellectual disabilities attending rehabilitation – educational groups, in order to develop and form their self-reliance, and the grounds of autonomy. In the first part of text the author described the functioning of people with profound intellectual disabilities, pointing to their specific difficulties in the field of independent functioning. Then author showed the assumptions of conductive education system with regard to the objectives set by The Ministry of Education for rehabilitation-educational classes.Using of the possibilities inherent in the monographic method, the author presented rehabilitation-educational activities with the use of conductive education method, with particular attention to the aspects of the development of autonomy of children and young people with profound intellectual disabilities. The data for analysis and description was collected through the observation (direct, participatory and indirect – by video camera) of participants of rehabilitation – educational activities (15 persons), analysis of documentation (observation sheets and individual curriculums) and interviews with teachers of three rehabilitation – educational groups.Although it is difficult to determine the actual impact of Petö method on increase of self-reliance and autonomy of children and young people with profound intellectual disabilities, the collected information indicates the importance of the conductive education method – particularly in aspects of socialization, communication and agility.The purpose of this article is to show the possibility of using conductive education system and its effectiveness in working with children and young people with profound intellectual disabilities attending rehabilitation – educational groups, in order to develop and form their self-reliance, and the grounds of autonomy.

Ojcowie wobec opieki nad dziećmi z głęboką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną i ich edukacji – studium etnograficzne
No full textFatherhood is a subject discussed more and more often by contemporary researchers and theorists. The importance of the father in all areas of child development, including the development of children with disabilities, is emphasized. The research presented in this article is devoted to a special kind of fatherhood – that is being the father of a child with profound intellectual disability.
The article presents an ethnographic study showing fathers’ behaviors, actions, reactions, and interactions focused on the process of care and education for children and youth in rehabilitation and education groups in special settings.
The collected material placed in a social context was analyzed, discussed and compared with other researchers' findings. The result was middle-range theory relating to the fathers' care-providing skills, involvement in upbringing, and task-oriented coping despite the stress and negative emotions they experience in their parenthood.

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

No full textVariations 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
