Implicaciones de los docentes de diseño en la estimulación de la creatividad
No full textThe first task for the teaching of creativity at any educational level is to infer ac-tive, practical and cognitive methods to effectively approach students so that they can understand in depth the theoretical contents and be able to apply them in novel ways in the work environment. The role of the design teacher in disseminating this knowledge is cru-cial, as experience itself shows that all activities relevant to the discipline must be subject to creative thinking. This article is based on the results of a study that aims to understand how the perceptions, approaches and methods design teachers use to encourage and pro-mote creativity learning among their students, in relation to future work and professional environments. In a higher education institution, design educators seek to prepare their students to perform in employability or entrepreneurship contexts. However, it has been observed that, although design careers are said to be “creative”, creativity is often taught through aesthetically focused models, which contrasts with the evolution of the concept of design and its current role. Not understanding what this implies or its relationship to design could lead to practices that limit not only the creative design process, but also crea-tive competence, with little or no impact in terms of innovation.A primeira tarefa para o ensino da criatividade em qualquer nível educacional é inferir métodos ativos, práticos e cognitivos para abordar os alunos de forma eficaz, de modo que eles possam compreender em profundidade os conteúdos teóricos e ser capazes de aplicá-los de maneiras inovadoras no ambiente de trabalho. O papel do professor de design na disseminação desse conhecimento é crucial, pois a própria experiência mostra que todas as atividades relevantes para a disciplina devem estar sujeitas ao pensamento criativo. Este artigo baseia-se nos resultados de um estudo que visa a entender como as percepções, abordagens e métodos que os professores de design usam para incentivar e promover o aprendizado da criatividade entre seus alunos, em relação ao trabalho futuro e aos ambientes profissionais. Em uma instituição de ensino superior, os educadores de design buscam preparar seus alunos para atuar em contextos de empregabilidade ou em-preendedorismo. No entanto, observou-se que, embora se diga que as carreiras de design são “criativas”, a criatividade geralmente é ensinada por meio de modelos com foco esté-tico, o que contrasta com a evolução do conceito de design e sua função atual. A falta de compreensão do que isso implica ou de sua relação com o design pode levar a práticas que limitam não apenas o processo de design criativo, mas também a competência criativa, com pouco ou nenhum impacto em termos de inovação.La primera tarea para la enseñanza de la creatividad en cualquier nivel educativo es inferir métodos activos, prácticos y cognitivos, para abordar de manera efectiva a los estudiantes de modo que puedan comprender en profundidad los contenidos teóricos y sean capaces de aplicarlos de formas novedosas en el ámbito laboral.

La oferta y demanda de las universidades privadas en El Salvador
Get PDFLa masificación y politización en el manejo de la enseñanza universitaria se han señalado como los factores del desprestigio, así como el bajo nivel académico en ciertas universidades privadas.La razón principal se desconoce, pero es evidente que un número de ellas ofrezcan más de lo que pueden dar.Por su magnitud este estudio representa la primera parte de una investigación permanente.Para el año dos mil uno se pretenden los siguientes planteamientos: Índice de satisfacción global en las universidades, Índice de satisfacción por servicio de los colegios particulares y nacionales, lndice de satisfacción por carrera

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
