Ambienti di apprendimento digitali innovativi: nuovi paradigmi
No full textThis paper focuses on the digital evolution as a protagonist of training and educational processes, within the national and international panorama. In particular, the paper identifies the origins of the current technological didactic perspectives and declines them through the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In addition, it focuses on recent didactic approaches adopted in digital learning environments, with a specific focus on MOOCs; with reference to this, it highlights the key role of the development of digital competence in teaching and learning. Digital competence is, in fact, declined as a key component of the eight key competences for lifelong learning and, in this sense, it is essential to reinforce and develop digital skills in teachers first of all
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
Online Quantitative Research Methodology: Reflections on Good Practices and Future Perspectives
No full textThe methodology of quantitative research in psychology was essentially addressed in the presence to investigate certain dimensions in training such as motivation, perception, etc. Since 2019, after the pandemic, it has been necessary to move the surveys online as new tools. The researcher would like to investigate this phenomenon of sampling, research designs of the instruments validated in the last three years which is 2019–2021. Investigating these concerns has allowed researchers to perform systematic studies on the effects of online teaching on learning, social participation, and feeling of community. The specific setting in which the phenomena were investigated altered the theoretical framework of the research designs. The techniques and methods of data gathering are fundamentally innovated once the research issue has been conceived. Even the tools used to measure the variables involved in the researched processes are improvised or subjected to rewriting or alteration. The population has changed: subjects are sampled in different ways, and there could be a considerably higher number of subjects to search. As a result, there's a chance for new inaccuracies that weren't present in face-to-face surveys or previous online research. As a result, the statistical analysis of the data must take care to avoid reasoning errors. Validity, as well as the processes’ reliability and replicability, remain top priorities in these researches. Furthermore, the methodologies of experimental or quasi-experimental research, the correlation research approach, the questionnaire survey, the interview, and participant observation have all required redefining of their internal characteristics. In light of the diversity of the landscape investigated, the researcher made a comprehensive evaluation of the literature on quantitative research technique in connection to online training
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

No full textAppropriate 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
Serious Game e strategie didattiche con- temporanee: una revisione sistematica e meta analisi
No full textThis systematic review focused on unmasking the ef- fect and/or importance of serious games and contem- porary didactic strategies in healthcare. A comprehen- sive query of databases were queried using the key- words. This was followed by a systematic review of the included sources. Serious games and contempo- rary didactic strategies have a positive impact in the healthcare sector. Patients enjoyed the benefits of the adherence and simplification of medical activities re- quired of them, like physical activity. Collectively, skills, knowledge, hands-on experience and compe- tence, along with the behaviors, elevate the quality of healthcare delivery: both the patients and healthcare workers benefit significantly. While the latter build skills, knowledge, and hands-on or practical experi- ence, the former enjoys simplified and hassle-free in- terventions. Future healthcare interventions will un- doubtedly be better if integrated with SG
