Educational planning and democratic participation: a study about the state public teaching system management in the state of Alagoas (1999-2004)
No full textThis study aimed at investigating the educational planning from 1999
to 2004 under the perspective of the school participation accomplished by the State
bureaucratic apparatus, the Executive Secretary of Education of the State of Alagoas
(SEE/AL), in the north-east of Brazil, since the setting up of the democratic education
management model in the system in1999. This research was a case study where the
qualitative approach was considered under the dialectical social-historical
conception, using qualitative techniques: documentary primary and secondary
documents, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the technicians from
the Executive Secretary of Education members of the school community - students,
teachers, staff and parents. The accomplished study reveals that, during the setting
up period of the democratic educational management in 1999, the restricted State of
Alagoas, tried to get to know the community s demands so as to plan some actions
intended to fulfill a participation culture through mechanisms established throughout
the whole public system where there weren t any previously. However, it is inferred
that most of the times the planned actions became exhausted as institutionalization
and orientation for the teaching units, of a political and pedagogical content, being
much more restricted to bureaucratic guidance of the working of the established
mechanisms, such as filling in reports, receipts, and so on. Therefore, it was planned
a few actions which promoted a more committed basis participation from segments
such as the parents and students , through school societies and parents
associations in the schools, thus weakening the democratic quality. The planning
process itself inserted within a little participative environment with traditional type
characteristics within the SEE s bureaucratic apparatus, the lack of a accomplishing
a shared planning, and the constant changing of SEE managers resulted in
consequences in the planned actions. Therein, the SEEL s discourse of building up a
citizen school collided with the limitation of the State bureaucratic apparatus which
has circumscribed itself to the planning of a relative participative culture, planning
which widened participation to a determined extent, but intended a few learning
actions of an active kind of participation.Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de AlagoasEste estudo teve o objetivo de investigar, no período de 1999-2004, o
planejamento educacional, sob a perspectiva da participação escolar, realizado pelo
aparelho burocrático estatal Secretaria Executiva de Educação de Alagoas (SEE/AL)
a partir da implantação na rede do modelo de gestão educacional democrático em
1999. Esta pesquisa foi um estudo de caso onde consideramos a abordagem
qualitativa sob a concepção sócio-histórica e dialética, utilizando técnicas
qualitativas documentais documentos primários e secundários , bem como
entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os técnicos da Secretaria Executiva de Educação
e membros da comunidade escolar alunos, professores, funcionários e pais e
questionários. O estudo realizado revela que no período de implantação do modelo
de gestão educacional democrática, em 1999, o estado restrito alagoano procurou
conhecer as demandas da comunidade para que fossem planejadas ações na
intenção de concretizar uma cultura de participação, antes inexistente, através de
mecanismos implantados em toda a rede pública de educação. No entanto,
constata-se que as ações planejadas muitas vezes se esvaziaram, enquanto
institucionalização e orientação para as unidades de ensino, de um conteúdo
político-pedagógico, estando muito mais restritas às orientações burocráticas do
funcionamento dos mecanismos implantados, como o preenchimento de relatórios,
notas fiscais etc. Nesse sentido, foram planejadas poucas ações que fomentassem
uma participação de base mais engajada de segmentos como os dos pais e
alunos, através dos grêmios estudantis e associações de pais nas escolas,
fragilizando, portanto, a qualidade democrática. O processo de planejamento
inserido numa cultura pouco participativa apresentou ainda características
consideradas tradicionais, constituindo-se num processo de planejamento
descompartilhado no aparelho burocrático, pela ausência de ações focalizadas em
uma participação de base e pelas sucessivas trocas dos gestores da Secretaria
Executiva de Educação. Assim, o discurso de formar uma escola cidadã da
burocracia estatal esbarrou na limitação do aparelho burocrático de Estado, que se
limitou ao planejamento de uma cultura participativa relativa , planejamento que
alargou a participação até determinado ponto, mas que resultou em poucas ações
de aprendizado de uma participação ativa
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
A participação da comunidade acadêmica da ufal nos planos de desenvolvimento institucional (2013-2023)
Full text linkARTIGO TCCO presente estudo trata-se de uma análise documental, que tem por objetivo identificar a participação da comunidade universitária na elaboração dos PDI 2013-2018/2019-2023, da Universidade Federal de Alagoas. A participação é o princípio que garante o envolvimento da comunidade, proporcionando que ocorra a concretização da gestão democrática. Felinto (2014); Bordenave (1994); Gadotti (2014); Lück (2009) constituíram o referencial teórico da análise, contribuindo na compreensão do conceito de participação. Os documentos estudados demonstram de formas diferentes como inseriram a comunidade universitária em sua elaboração, demonstrando que os caminhos escolhidos para sua constituição levam à compreensão de duas formas de participação: representativa e semidireta. Enquanto o PDI 2013-2018 apresenta um percurso voltado para que a comunidade se envolvesse na sua elaboração por meio de seus representantes o PDI 2019-2023 mostrou um percurso que possibilitou a participação da comunidade interna e externa da universidade, não somente por meio de seus representantes, mas dela própria mediante consulta e audiência pública. A inclusão da comunidade no último documento demonstra que que a escolha dos mecanismos pode contribuir de forma significativa para uma melhor inserção da comunidade nas discussões e deliberações referentes às pautas da universidade
