Fare scuola a classi aperte in rete. Sperimentazione di didattica condivisa in piccole scuole isolate e con pluriclassi
Full text linkENG:
In the school year 2020-2021, INDIRE launched in Italian small schools a pilot experimentation of a teaching meth- od already validated in Québec and considered useful for overcoming the educational limits typical of remoteness scenarios (Mangione and Cannella, 2020). “Classi in rete” is characterized by a shared didactic practice where “de-localized” classes are involved in a common disciplinary path by adapting calendars, spaces, and teacher roles, using virtual twinning environments, videoconferencing and spaces for discussion such as the Knowledge Forum (KF) (Mangione and Pieri 2019; Mangione et al., 2021). The experimentation of the model in Abruzzo involved 12 small schools and is based on a design-based research methodological approach (Sandoval, 2014). This paper aims to answer the following questions:
Q1 Has the experience of networked classes fostered changes in the teaching practices and strategies of teachers?
Q2 Which are the elements that conditioned the teamwork in open classes?
The analysis uses a mixed method that integrates a standard search through data matrix and an interpretative search through group interviews aimed at the involved teachers and students. In fact, alongside a structured quantitative survey aimed at understanding the impact that the model had in the experimental classes in terms of collaboration, interdisciplinarity, reorganization of times and workspaces, we conducted a qualitative analysis based on focus groups with the teachers involved aimed at understanding to what extent the model has affected their propensity for change.

Nell’anno scolastico 2020-2021, INDIRE ha avviato una sperimentazione pilota nelle piccole scuole italiane di un metodo didattico già validato in Québec e ritenuto utile per superare i limiti educativi che si verificano in situazioni di remoteness (Mangione e Cannella, 2020). “Classi in rete” si caratterizza per una pratica didattica condivisa dove classi “delocalizzate” vengono coinvolte in un percorso disciplinare comune adattando calendari, spazi e ruoli dei docenti utilizzando ambienti di gemellaggio virtuale, di videoconferenza e spazi di argomentazione come il Knowledge Forum (KF) (Mangione e Pieri 2019; Mangione et al., 2021). La sperimentazione del modello in Abruzzo ha coinvolto 12 piccole scuole e poggia su un approccio metodologico di analisi di tipo design-based research (Sandoval, 2014) L’articolo vuole restituire una risposta alle seguenti domande:
D1 L’esperienza di classi in rete ha favorito cambiamenti nelle prassi e strategie didattiche dei docenti?
D2 Quali sono gli elementi che hanno condizionato il lavoro per gruppi a classi aperte?
L’analisi si avvale di un metodo misto che integra una ricerca standard tramite matrice dati e una ricerca di tipo interpretativo tramite interviste di gruppo rivolte ai docenti coinvolti e agli studenti. Infatti, accanto a un’indagine quantitativa strutturata volta a comprendere l’impatto che il modello ha avuto nelle classi sperimentali in termini di collaborazione, interdisciplinarità, riorganizzazione dei tempi e degli spazi di lavoro, è stata condotta un’analisi qualitativa basata su focus group con i docenti per rilevare quanto il modello abbia inciso sulla loro propensione al cambiamento
Religious studies in the 20th Century. A Survey on Disciplines, Cultures and Questions. International Colloquium Assisi 2003
No full textIn Assisi, at the end of 2003, theologians and historians from various countries as well as different denominational backgrounds met to attempt an overview of religious studies in the 20 th century. This meeting contributed to the debate about the effects of epistemological transitions on theology and religious studies in the 20 th century. The interdisciplinary approach and the historical, political and interdenominational character of the participants' panel enabled the meeting, the proceedings of which are published here, to identity some "coordinates" on the path of the 20 th century from the point of view of theological and religious studies
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
