Supporting students at risk
No full textThe term 'at risk' is used broadly within the education sector to describe a range of situations and behaviours that may lead to negative educational and social outcomes for students. We need, however, to be clear in our own thinking about the type of risk that various situations present in order to give effective assistance to students.\ud

In general, there are two distinct discourses of being at risk applied to school students: firstly, at risk of academic failure includes passive disengagement from schooling and dropping out; secondly, at risk of harm, includes abuse, self-harm and suicide. While the discourses may be discrete, however, there is also considerable overlap at times and resolution may require both environmental and behavioural considerations. Indeed, the consequences of academic failure, such as early school drop-out, may be to place the individual at further risk, jeopardising development as a mentally and physically healthy adult. Failure to complete compulsory schooling, unemployment, unsafe health practices and low self-worth are among the risk factors that may lead to inability to fully develop as an adult (Kelly, 2001).\ud

In this chapter, we will examine both discourses independently, considering the related behaviours, the attribution of responsibility, and ways in which the situations may be addressed. We will also note systemic similarities in addressing the needs of all at risk students and conclude by examining the characteristics of teachers and classrooms that minimise both academic risk and risk of harm

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
