Sviluppare competenze digitali, tra creatività e partecipazione
No full textLa trasformazione delle forme di linguaggio, delle pratiche di scrittura e delle modalità comunicative hanno sempre avuto ripercussioni sul piano dei processi cognitivi e delle forme organizzative della conoscenza. La diffusione delle tecnologie digitali negli ultimi decenni e la conseguente trasformazione di molti formati espressivi, narrativi e comunicativi, hanno progressivamente reso necessaria la capacità di riconoscere, sviluppare e valutare nuove tipologie di alfabeti e competenze, tipiche del digitale, inteso non solo come tecnologia, ma come dimensione socio-culturale a tutto tondo.
Il contributo esamina le potenzialità di sviluppo delle competenze digitali presso gli studenti attraverso la progettazione e realizzazione di prodotti comunicativi secondo le logiche del digital storytelling, in una prospettiva di Tecnologie di Comunità e per attivare Terzi spazi di Apprendimento.The transformation of language forms, writing practices and communication methods have always had repercussions on the level of cognitive processes and organizational forms of knowledge. The spread of digital technologies in recent decades and the consequent transformation of many expressive, narrative and communicative formats have progressively made it necessary to be able to recognise, develop and evaluate new types of literacy and skills, typical of digital, understood not only as technology, but as an all-round socio-cultural dimension.
The contribution examines the potential for developing digital skills among students through the design and creation of communication products according to the logic of digital storytelling, in a perspective of Community Technologies and to activate Third Learning Spaces
Script collaborativi e digital storytelling per l’apprendimento online della Matematica
No full textThis work concerns an e-learning skill-based methodology called M-DIST (Digital Interactive Storytelling in Mathematics) proposed for the learning of mathematics. It consists of a collection of collaborative scripts, which steer roles and actions of the participants in order to promote cognitive, socio-cognitive and metacognitive processes. We refer to a networking of theories as the theoretical framework and use storytelling experience to engage students. The activities use both experiential and discursive approaches, integrating individual and social tasks. According to Vygotsky, the expectation is that, over time, scripts can be internalized through practice and so produce learning. Finally, we analyse and discuss, using functional linguistic tools, the results of a DIST-M ex-perimentation focused on argumentative skills in mathematics
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
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
