Andy and the Lion
No full textInternally this is the same as the edition I have listed already under 1938/66, but it has a new cover format, namely a brown/tan background with black figures and white shading. This approach to the cover matches that in the most recent contemporary softbound printing (1938/66/89). It also has a silver Caldecott Honor Book stamp on the cover.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Twenty-seventh printing or twenty-seventh thousand.James Daughert

Puffin
No full textA charming tale of a boy who dreams about lions. The circus allows the tale to come up to our century. The nostalgic drawings and the lifestyle date the book to the 30's at the latest. The best illustration is the embrace of the boy and the lion. A successful transposition of a good old story.James Daughert
A constructivist approach to elementary school music learning experiences with reference to the ideas of John Dewey
Get PDFIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 120-132).
ix, 132 leaves ; 29 cm..The term "constructivism" has become increasingly prominent in the field of education. The purpose of this· investigation was to examine some fundamental concepts associated with constructivism in order to determine how constructivist pedagogy might inform the theory and practice of elementary school music education, with particular focus on the ideas of John Dewey . . To that end, this investigation first explored a brief history of the concepts associated with constructivism. Thereafter, it considered distinct branches of constructivism as well as current applications in contemporary education, including descriptions of four studies that linked music in some manner to constructivism. This study then examined John Dewey's concept of"art as experience" as a theoretical perspective by which music educators might employ a constructivist approach in the elementary music classroom. The author suggested how Dewey's perspective might inform specific learning experiences in elementary music education, and discussed current approaches to music education in a constructivist framework in terms of some specific benefits and challenges. This analysis concluded that Dewey's concept of experience could both nurture and criticize contemporary constructivist thought as it may relate to music education. Specifically, the author suggested that certain premises of music education as aesthetic education, particularly to the extent that they are centered in a philosophy of music per se and tend to negate the interconnectedness of environment and organism, may be fundamentally incompatible with a constructivist pedagogy informed by Dewey's idea
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
