Notas etnográficas sobre o surgimento dos cursos de formação de professores de ciências no semiárido baiano
Get PDFEste trabalho apresenta apontamentos acerca dos percursos de instituições e sujeitos relacionados ao surgimento e desenvolvimento dos Cursos de Ciências no semiárido baiano, produzidos a partir de uma etnografia desenvolvida entre os anos 2011 e 2016 na esteira de contribuições de Clifford Geertz, James Clifford, Marilyn Strathern, Mariza Peirano e Olívia Cunha. Objetiva-se aqui problematizar enunciados que relacionam a gênese do ensino superior na Bahia à demanda de formação de professores em uma investigação que considera os arquivos como campos etnográficos. Argumenta-se que as Faculdades de Formação de Professores marcaram a formação de professores de Ciências no semiárido baiano e matizaram o surgimento do ensino superior relacionado à formação de professores na década de 1970. As reformas curriculares que ofereceram os contornos dos Cursos de Ciências e das instituições às quais estavam vinculados foram estabilizadas pelo Governo Estadual sem deixar de serem disputadas por professores, estudantes e outros sujeitos da sociedade local
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
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
Teaching knowledge: a glimpse to a non-required dimension in the trajectories of teachers/researchers in Biological Sciences Academic Course
No full textThis paper is the result of a study about the life trajectories and formation of teachers/researchers of an Academic Biological Sciences Course. We focus on two autobiographic narratives to understand the elaboration/appropriation processes of the teaching knowledge in formation and work experiences in the narratives analyzed. Our interest is to understand the
pedagogical formation (absent or present) in the lives of these teachers who had formative trajectories in four disciplinary areas of the Biological Sciences, and who act nowadays in the
university teaching with Sciences and Biology teacher formation. We adopted the Autobiographical method to approach these trajectories that unfold in analytical categories which point to hints of how the formation and performance of the university teacher has happened. We analyze the documental corpus with the technique of analytical content and we present four established
categories: (i) knowledge of the professional formation; (ii) disciplinary knowledge; (iii) curriculum knowledge; and (iv) experimental knowledge. It was identified the absence of teaching knowledge in the initial formation trajectory of two researchers and the need of this knowledge in university teaching practice
Biólogos e outros entes na caatinga: etnografia e endemismo em contextos de relações transespecíficas
Get PDFA diversidade biológica do Brasil é composta por seis biomas: amazônia, cerrado, caatinga, mata atlântica, pantanal e pampa. Dentre eles, a caatinga é o único que os biólogos reconhecem como exclusivamente brasileiro. Tal distinção é produzida por plantas, animais e biólogos em contextos de pesquisa. Frente a isto, este artigo apresenta apontamentos relacionados aos trabalhos de biólogos e uma planta que, vinculados em relações transespecíficas, circunscrevem territórios nas ciências biológicas a partir da descrição de um endemismo da caatinga, Arrojadoa marylanae¸ espécie de cacto ameaçada de extinção. Ele é um desdobramento de uma etnografia desenvolvida entre os anos 2011 e 2016 em laboratórios de ciências biológicas da Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia que deslocou o foco do estritamente humano para as relações entre biólogos, plantas e outros entes. Trata-se de uma experiência de pesquisa multidisciplinar situada entre as ciências biológicas e as ciências sociais. Ao focar em contextos práticos de relações transespecíficas entre biólogos e plantas, foi possível entender a taxonomia como construção relacional, classificação e história
