CONCEITOS ESPONTÂNEOS E CIENTÍFICOS NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL POR MEIO DO PIBID, SUBPROJETO DE LÍNGUA INGLESA
Get PDFThis study discusses evidence of spontaneous and scientific concepts presented in Vygotski's sociocultural theory through data generated during the development of PIBID actions, an English-language subproject. Student-teachers and area supervisors were interviewed about how they built their learning/development experiences and how these concepts were present. The course of the research was anchored in the molds of the qualitative research of ethnographic basis carried out through qualitative interviews analyzed by the interpretative bias. The data indicated that participation in the program promotes the development of scientific concepts, but also spontaneous ones. Both are important for the student-teacher in initial training. Este estudo discute indícios de conceitos espontâneos e científicos apresentados na teoria sociocultural vigotskiana mediante dados gerados durante o desenvolvimento de ações do PIBID, subprojeto de língua inglesa. Foram ouvidas alunas-professoras e professora supervisora de área sobre como construíram suas experiências de aprendizagem/desenvolvimento e como esses conceitos se fizeram presentes. O percurso da pesquisa ancorou-se nos moldes da pesquisa qualitativa de base etnográfica realizada por meio de entrevistas qualitativas analisadas pelo viés interpretativista. Dados indicaram que a participação no programa promove o desenvolvimento de conceitos científicos, mas também os espontâneos. Ambos são importantes para o aluno-professor na formação inicial
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
ATIVIDADES COMUNICATIVAS NO ENSINO DE LÍNGUA INGLESA: REFLEXÕES ACERCA DA CONSTRUÇÃO DA COMPETÊNCIA LINGUÍSTICO-COMUNICATIVA DE ALUNOS DO ENSINO MÉDIO
Get PDFThis article aims to examine the use of communicative activities developed with students in their final year of High School at a public school with the purpose of reflecting on the contribution of those activities to the internalization of the English language and the development of communicative competence. The purpose was to analyze whether the activities developed could contribute to satisfactory results due to the workload dedicated to English Language teaching, the number of students in the classroom, the use of teaching material and the limitations in relation to knowledge of the language. To support the discussion, theoretical support was provided by authors who allowed dialogue with the data generated in the school environment associated with the communicative approach to teaching including Almeida Filho (2000, 2002, 2012, 2014), Paiva (2009, 2010) and Widdowson (1991), among others. The present research fits into the approach of qualitative research and also the action research type and is the result of a course completion work stimulated, elaborated and developed by participation in PIBID (Institutional Teaching Initiation Scholarship Program, a Brazilian Government program), English Language Subproject. Through the data generated and analyzed, we observe the relevance of developing activities in the classroom that allow students to make communicative use with the aim of constructing meanings and internalizing linguistic-communicative structures of/in English Language, both through the interaction established with the teacher and classmates who function as mediators in the learning process.O presente artigo tem o objetivo apresentar um olhar reflexivo sobre a utilização de atividades com perspectiva comunicativa desenvolvidas junto a alunos do último ano de Ensino Médio de uma escola pública bem como o intuito de ponderar acerca da contribuição dessas atividades para a internalização da língua inglesa (LI) e desenvolvimento da competência linguístico-comunicativa. Teve-se o propósito de analisar se as atividades desenvolvidas podem contribuir com resultados satisfatórios considerando a pouca carga horária dedicada ao ensino de LI, quantidade de alunos em sala, utilização do material didático e às limitações em relação ao conhecimento da língua. Para embasar a discussão, serviram de apoio teórico autores que permitiram dialogar com os dados gerados no ambiente escolar associados à abordagem comunicativa de ensino, entre eles Almeida Filho (2000, 2002, 2012, 2014), Paiva (2009, 2010) e Widdowson (1991), entre outros. A pesquisa se encaixa nos moldes da pesquisa qualitativa do tipo pesquisa-ação e é fruto de um trabalho de conclusão de curso estimulado, elaborado e executado no âmbito do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), Subprojeto de LI. Por meio dos dados gerados e analisados, percebeu-se a relevância de desenvolver na sala de aula atividades que permitam que os alunos façam uso comunicativo da língua com o intuito de construir sentidos e internalizar estruturas linguístico-comunicativas da/na LI, tanto pela interação estabelecida com a professora quanto com seus colegas, que funcionam como mediadores no processo de aprendizagem
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
