A survey study of teaching competencies of clinical nursing teachers in technical colleges
No full text本研究旨在瞭解台灣地區技職體系護理院校臨床實習指導教師教學能力之現況，包括瞭解臨床實習指導教師對教學能力重要性之看法及其自評的教學能力，並探討臨床實習指導教師之個人特性與其對教學能力重要性看法之關係。採立意取樣方式選取台灣地區公私立技職體系護理院校臨床實習指導教師約181位為對象，藉由文獻查證結果，配合本研究目的翻譯發展成「臨床實習指導教師教學能力之自我評估調查表」進行問卷資料收集。使用SPSS18.0版統計軟體進行資料統計，分析方法包括以平均數、標準差及排序進行描述性統計，及單因子變異數分析（ANOVA）、皮爾森相關係數（Pearson correlation coefficient），進行推論性統計分析。研究結果發現：
一、臨床實習指導教師對教學能力重要性之評定之現況，其得分高低依序為：「護理能力」、「師生關係」、而「教學技能」與「人格特質」同分，最低分為「評值技能」。
二、臨床實習指導教師個人特性中僅年齡與其對教學能力重要性評定有顯著的關係。在「31-35歲」、「36-40歲」、「41-45歲」三組的臨床實習指導教師，對「護理能力」面向的重要性是高於「26-30歲」組的；「36-40歲」組對「評值技能」與「人格特質」兩個面向的重要性評定也顯著高於「26-30歲」組的臨床實習指導教師。
三、臨床實習指導教師教學能力自評之得分屬於「良好」的程度。由高而低依序為：「護理能力」與「師生關係」同分為自評最高之面向，再者為「人格特質」，最後以「教學技能」與「評值技能」同分為最低分面向。
四、臨床實習指導教師之教學能力各面向之重要性評定與自我評值間呈現顯著正相關。
研究對象在教學能力中「教學技能」及「評值技能」面向的重要性評定及能力自評都是相對較低分的，顯現臨床實習指導教師在這兩方面的認知及能力尚有相當大的進步空間，值得教學單位重視並提供適當的在職教育予以協助。The main purpose of this study is to investigate the teaching competence of clinical nursing teachers in technical colleges in Taiwan, including what clinical nursing teachers think of the importance of teaching competence and evaluate their teaching competence. Moreover, the paper analyzes the relationship between clinical nursing teachers’ individual characteristics and their teaching competence. A convenience-type sampling was used to select 181 clinical nursing teachers from public and private technical colleges in Taiwan. After reviewing the existing literature and considering the purpose of this study, the author translated and developed the questionnaire of “self-evaluation of teaching competence by clinical nursing teachers” for data collection. By means of the software of SPSS18.0 version, the data collected was analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation.
1. The importance of teaching competence, which clinical nursing teachers evaluate, ranked from high to low as “nursing competence,” “interpersonal relationship,” “teaching skills” and “personality factors” (both scored the same), and then “evaluation skills.”
2. Among the personal characteristics of clinical nursing teachers, only the age was correlated substantially with the self-evaluation of teaching competence. The three groups of clinical nursing teacher (i.e., aged 31-35, 36-40 and 41-45) evaluated the importance of “nursing competence” higher than the group aged 26-30 did. The group aged 36-40 evaluated the importance of “evaluation skills” and “personality factors” higher than the group aged 26-30 did.
3. The scores of teaching competence that clinical nursing teachers self-evaluated were rated “good”. The importance of each sub-scale from high to low was listed as “nursing competence” and “interpersonal relationship” (both scored the same), “personality factors,” and then “teaching skills” and “evaluation skills” (both scored the same).
4. The importance of teaching competence for clinical nursing teachers in all aspects was correlated substantially with the self-evaluation of teaching competence.
The fact that the subjects of study evaluated relatively low on the importance of “teaching skills” and “evaluation skills” and their own competence, show that the perception and competence of clinical nursing teachers on these two aspects need to be improved considerably. It is worth for the teaching units to pay great attention and offer adequate in-job-training for help
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
