Socioscientific decision making in the science classroom: the effect of embedded metacognitive instructions on students' learning outcomes
No full textThe purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of cooperative training strategies to enhance students' socioscientific decision making as well as their metacognitive skills in the science classroom. Socioscientific decision making refers to both “describing socioscientific issues” as well as “developing and evaluating solutions” to socioscientific issues. We investigated two cooperative training strategies which differed with respect to embedded metacognitive instructions that were developed on the basis of the IMPROVE method. Participants were 360 senior high school students who studied either in a cooperative learning setting (COOP), a cooperative learning setting with embedded metacognitive questions (COOP+META), or a nontreatment control group. Results indicate that students in the two training conditions outperformed students in the control group on both processes of socioscientific decision making. However, students in the COOP+META condition did not outperform students in the COOP condition. With respect to students' learning outcomes on the regulation facet of metacognition, results indicate that all conditions improved over time. Students in the COOP+META condition exhibited highest mean scores at posttest measures, but again, results were not significant. Implications for integrating metacognitive instructions into science classrooms are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

"Betra er ao gjora ser hjalpvaenlegar en hryggvar innbyrlingar" : The Private Correspondance Between Jon Olafsson from Grunnavik (1705-1779) and Eggert Olafsson (1726-1768) during the Years 1760-68
No full textThis article presents an edition of the private correspondence between Jon Olafsson from Grunnavik (1705-1779) and Eggert Olafsson (1726-1768), complete with commentary and a short introduction. Jon's letters are preserved in manuscript, notably in AM 996 4to, whose text is published here for the first time; Eggert's letters were first printed in the journal Andvari in 1874. Jon Olafsson is now best known as Ami Magnusson's scribe in Copenhagen, famously parodied in Halldor Laxness's novel Iceland's Bell as the gauche and comic Jon Grindvicensis; Eggert, on the other hand, has long been recognized as an accomplished poet and a pioneering figure in the Icelandic Enlightenment. In fact, the two men were good friends and had much in common. Both were interested in poetry, Icelandic studies, natural science and the future of their native land. In the letters they discuss their lot in life, their interests and hopes, and also the latest news from home and abroad. We learn of Jon's unequivocal wish that Eggert succeed him as a leading figure in Icelandic studies. Both men had every reason to assume that Eggert had a long life ahead of him, but, in the event, Jon's last letter to his friend may well have gone unread, for Eggert drowned in Breioafjorour just a few days later
