I tratti distintivi degli operatori del terzo settore: un percorso di ricerca sul campo per la determinazione delle professionalità esistenti e delle competenze richieste dal mondo del lavoro
No full textIl lavoro presenta la progettazione e la realizzazione di un percorso di
ricerca per la definizione delle professionalità esistenti ed emergenti nel terzo settore,
con particolare riferimento all’ambito dei servizi agli immigrati. Si tratta di
professioni spesso nate in risposta a bisogni in evoluzione, per le quali è importante
l’identificazione delle competenze e dei percorsi formativi specifici. Vengono
illustrate tutte le fasi della ricerca: la prima è l’indagine qualitativa, composta da
interviste a testimoni privilegiati e successivi focus group, e finalizzata a identificare
i contenuti della ricerca quantitativa, definiti mediante analisi testuale. La seconda
fase è quella dell’indagine quantitativa, basata su questionari strutturati, e rivolta a
responsabili e operatori di organizzazioni del terzo settore

Educating in the Cooperative Model through a Structural Dialogue Between Face-to-Face and Digital Environments
No full textThis abstract presents the European Coopcamp project, launched in March 2020 in 5 countries: Belgium, Italy, Poland, Spain and Sweden. The project aims at proposing a training course in high schools to improve the knowledge and values of the cooperative model (mutuality, democracy, participation) and related skills (Fazzi, 2019). Very rarely, a cooperative economic model is a choice for young people. However, they are a particularly suitable target group for a business model that focuses on personal skills rather than on the availability of capital. In a preliminary research phase, a questionnaire was administered to some of the project partner schools, based upon the experiences of previous projects and the EntreComp framework. The analysis of the results contributed to the design and implementation of a training package, taking into account three main conceptual pillars: 1. a narrative framework on cooperative values in line with young people’s imagination; 2. a gamified structure eliciting interest in content and training activities; 3. the design of experiential learning activities based on problem-solving, challenges and simulations, to be carried out either face-to-face or online. All this, by using a digital tool created specifically for the project, with the function of providing teaching materials, guiding groups of students and teachers in scheduled meetings and keeping track of the training process. The choice of this approach is due to two main reasons. On the one hand, the choice was made to stimulate students’ interest by going towards their habits and imagination (Bolin, 2017), betting on the meaningfulness of learning experiences (Ausubel, 2000). On the other hand, it is necessary today to rethink training interventions in media education and media construction of reality framework (Couldry, Hepp, 2017). To facilitate learning, technological tools are embedded into a constructivist and collaborative logic, focusing on the quality and quantity of interactions: between students and teachers and between students themselves. In concrete terms, the digital tool consists of an online learning environment that gradually indicates the activities to be carried out, guiding teachers and students in their learning process. The online environment is not seen as a ‘mere’ expansion and continuation of what happens in the face-to-face context; it enhances the offline experience by guiding the educational process, just as a dashboard to refer to in order to conclude the learning path. The project is currently in a pilot phase. Actual testing will take place in schools in the project partner countries by April 2021. So far, about 150 groups of students and 50 teachers registered in the online environment, exploring sections and functions of the digital tool
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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
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
