SENSE. interview needs and challenges of SENSE. target groups
No full textThis dataset is from the Horizon project SENSE. The New European Roadmap to STEAM Education.
To consolidate and enrich the results of the initial stakeholders mapping conducted during the STEAM DNA Workshop, direct involvement of the target groups was sought. Through interviews, a collection of ideas, insights, and feedback was gathered, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the needs and constraints faced by participants in the SENSE. project.
See a full description of methodological information in the published report "SENSE. The New European Roadmap to STEAM Education Deliverable 3.3 – Report on Stakeholder Challenges and Needs for future-making STEAM Education in Europe", published June 2023 and accessible at the following link:

In order to conduct the local interviews and to subsequently analyse the responses comprehensively, the following protocol was established.
Firstly, based on the landscape of STEAM beneficiaries identified during the STEAM DNA Workshop, specific target groups were defined:
Young people (aged 19-25)
Parents and/or educators of young people aged 13-18
Educational institutions (such as school headmasters, teachers from secondary education, educators, explainers, educational programs developers, science communicators)
Business (Companies/ Industries/ social enterprises interested in a skilled and creative workforce)
Policy makers (such as municipalities, local administrators, local, regional, and national officers of the ministries of education)
Secondly, in order to ensure a broad representation of all target groups, each partner was asked to identify at least two or more representatives of their beneficiaries, taking into account the categories mentioned above. Given the heterogeneity of the Consortium partners and their varying degrees of involvement with different target groups in their daily work, the involvement of all partners as a whole Consortium in this assessment activity allowed the full spectrum of participants to be concretely involved. This approach also lays the foundation for the participation and organisation of the upcoming local STEAM workshops of WP4.
Each partner contributed to the survey. Oral interviews were preferred and could be conducted in person, by telephone or by online teleconference. If necessary, partners had the flexibility to use other types of data collection.
The proposed questions were the following:
What are the constraints of current science education in your context and from your point of view?
What do you see as the main barriers to participation, especially for girls?
What strategies and approaches have you found useful to promote inclusion and participation in science education?
In what way do you think the integration of science and arts can improve STEM education of pupils from different backgrounds and contexts?
What benefits do you foresee for you or your organization from the completion of the SENSE. project?
Do you have any suggestions for us?
The interviews began with a brief overview of the SENSE. project, its objectives and how the opinions and information gathered would be used. A sample letter of introduction was shared with the partners, which could be adapted to suit individual local contexts and circumstances. The letter is included in SENSE. Deliverable 3.3 Annex 1, mentioned above.
Following the interviews, each partner completed an electronic questionnaire (Google Form) for each interview, documenting the responses collected (see Google Form in the SENSE. Deliverable 3.3 Annex 2, mentioned above). If an answer was too long, the interviewer and the interviewee agreed on a summarising sentence to be included in the form without any changes.
With regard to data management and protection, the information was collected in accordance with the respective national regulations.</p
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
Intorno al rapporto tra Economia aziendale ed “Economia del mare”
No full textL’azienda, secondo la prospettiva economico-aziendale, è un sistema di relazioni, soggetto attivo, complesso ed evoluto rispetto a modelli astratti elaborati in presenza di finalità generali e particolari cui sono rivolte altre indagini e studi dal
carattere scientifico.
Ci sembra inconfutabile il fatto che si possa realizzare un’efficace analisi delle aziende quando sia presente una coerente forma mentis dello studioso, condizione imprescindibile per raggiungere quel livello di sviluppo della disciplina economico-aziendale che accolga il pluralismo metodologico.
La scelta della prospettiva di analisi, frutto di interessi ora generali, ora particolari, e basata in maniera stringente su un complesso di procedimenti logici, conduce alla determinazione dell’oggetto di analisi: l’azienda nella sua complessità; tuttavia, la ricerca scientifica non si limita alla raccolta o alla descrizione di fatti e circostanze reali, ma va ben oltre fino a giungere alla determinazione di relazioni di valore utili per l’interpretazione della realtà.
L’interesse o la percezione di una problematicità rappresenta un momento logico importante nella ricerca che trova nell’analisi teorica iniziale e in quella particolare rivolta al tema in questione – la cosiddetta “Economia del mare” – e nelle indagini empiriche svolte da altri studiosi la premessa essenziale per realizzare la ricerca stessa all’interno di un campo d’indagine chiaro e definito
