Ensino e aprendizagem da escrita : EOPAVO(S)!* : contributos da utilização de um código de apoio à revisão para o desenvolvimento de competências
Full text linkEsta investigação tem por finalidade avaliar a eficácia da aplicação de um código de apoio à revisão (CAR) e demonstrar a utilidade do estudo aprofundado dos erros e dificuldades de escrita com vista à promoção, em contexto educativo/formativo, da competência de escrita. Para tal, utilizou-se uma metodologia mista, isto é, uma articulação entre técnicas quantitativas (dois inquéritos, um a professores e outro a alunos) e qualitativas (análise de um corpus de registos escritos, seis entrevistas, observação direta, registos num diário de bordo,…) de recolha de dados, às quais se adicionaram ainda modalidades de inquirição de tipo experimental (exercícios de revisão e aperfeiçoamento de dois textos com e sem o suporte do CAR). De acordo com os resultados dos inquéritos e das entrevistas faltam ainda, na Escola, práticas mais diversificadas, participadas e interativas de promoção da competência da escrita e é necessário que a revisão assuma, por parte de professores e alunos, um caráter metódico e sistemático. Verificou-se que o tratamento e análise de um corpus de registos escritos e a correção e revisão classificatórias (que informam sobre o tipo de erros e aspetos a aperfeiçoar) possibilitam ao professor o reconhecimento das áreas problemáticas da escrita e a adequação de estratégias e facilitam aos alunos a identificação dos tipos de erros produzidos, conduzindo à sua superação. Os resultados obtidos através da realização do plano quase-experimental indicam que é significativa a evolução positiva que a introdução do CAR gera ao nível do aperfeiçoamento da escrita, fornecem indícios muito relevantes de que a sua utilização é vantajosa para os alunos, enquanto modo de facilitação processual e enquanto veículo de reforço de autonomia na identificação dos erros e na mobilização de procedimentos de autocorreção e edição. Adicionalmente, para os alunos intervenientes neste estudo, foi unânime a opinião segundo a qual a utilização de um instrumento como o CAR facilita a revisão e reescrita de textos.This research aims at evaluating the effectiveness of implementing a Code that Assists Revision (CAR) and demonstrates the usefulness of in-depth study of the errors and difficulties of writing in order to promote, in the educational/training context, skills of writing. In order to assess the kind of information needed, we used a mixed methodology, i.e, a conjunction between quantitative (two surveys, one for teachers and one for students) and qualitative (analysis of one corpus of written records, six interviews, direct observation, a diary board, ...) techniques to collect data, to which were added experimental procedures (revision and improvement of two texts with and without the support of CAR). According to the results of surveys and interviews, Schools should have more diverse, participatory and interactive ways to improve the writing skills and revision should also assume, by teachers and students, a methodical and systematic practice. The results also show that the analysis of a corpus of written records and that the classificatory correction and revision (that informs about the type of error or other issues that need to be improved) enable teacher to recognize the problematic areas of writing and to adequate strategies to solve them, as well as allow students to identify the types of errors produced, leading at overcoming them. The results obtained by the quasi-experimental procedure indicate that the introduction of CAR produces a positive and significant evolution at improving writing competence (quite clear when we observe the results obtained in the experimental groups compared with control groups), provide evidence that its use is very relevant and advantageous for students as a way of facilitating the writing process and as a vehicle for reinforcing autonomy (in identifying spelling and other mistakes) and for mobilization self-correction and editing procedures. Additionally, to the students involved in this study, it was unanimous that the use of an instrument such as CAR facilitates text revision and rewriting
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
