Éducation athlétique et athlétisme éducatif, en EPS
No full textL’athlétisme a acquis à l'Ecole, dans la première moitié du vingtième siècle, le statut de sport de base. Cette place de choix a tenu, en premier lieu, à une conception du transfert d’apprentissage faisant de la trilogie « courir, sauter, lancer » la base de tout sport. Un second argument a tenu à la conformité des qualités morales que l’athlétisme est censé promouvoir aux valeurs qui ont cours à l’École. Ainsi envisagé, l’athlétisme serait propédeutique à la pratique des sports comme aux apprentissages scolaires.
Ce statut alloué à l'athlétisme a cependant évolué et cette activité sportive est aujourd'hui, pour l'EPS, une simple pratique sociale de référence parmi d’autres.
Cet écrit questionne cette évolution pour lui donner sens en s'intéressant au crédit accordé de nos jours aux deux arguments princeps ayant favorisé l'accès de l'athlétisme au rang de sport de base en EPS. Il autorise à terme une réflexion au devenir de l’athlétisme en EPS
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

Mental rotation and motor skill : developmental approach, gender and transfer
No full textLa rotation mentale (RM) est la capacité à faire tourner mentalement l’image d’un objet en 2 ou en 3 dimensions. C’est une forme d’imagerie mentale qui nécessite des transformations visuo-spatiales. Au regard de sa nature dynamique, la RM se trouve à l’interface entre imagerie mentale et imagerie motrice. Le transfert de RM, ainsi que ses liens avec les processus moteurs, restent à ce jour controversés. Les résultats de ce travail montrent qu’un entraînement spécifique à la RM améliore la performance aux tests de RM, tel que celui de Vandenberg et Kuse (VMRT). Suite à cet entraînement, les différences de genre sont atténuées. Un transfert vers l’apprentissage de l’anatomie a également été observé, attestant de l’existence de micro-compétences, ou micro-expertises, communes entre RM et apprentissage de l’anatomie. Les résultats montrent que ce transfert s’opère aussi dans l’autre sens, de l’apprentissage de l’anatomie vers la perception spatiale d’un mouvement sportif. Dans le même ordre d’idée, chez les enfants, la RM partagerait des micro-expertises avec la motricité lorsque celle-ci intègre des roulades, des changements de directions ou des sauts. L’ensemble des résultats expérimentaux met en évidence qu’un programme d’entraînement spécifique visant l’amélioration de la capacité de RM peut donc se transférer vers l’acquisition de connaissances en anatomie, la motricité, ainsi que le développement moteur de l’enfant. L’émergence de la différence de genre en RM et en imagerie motrice, quant à elle, varie selon les tests utilisés. Pour le VMRT, elle serait effective à partir de l’âge de 9 ans. De nouvelles recherches sur la chronométrie mentale permettront sans doute de déterminer l’émergence de cette différence de genre au regard de la précision de l’imagerie motriceMental rotation (MR) is the ability to rotate the mental image of a 2D or 3D object. The relationship between MR and motor processes, as well as the transfer of MR, is still debated in the literature. The present results provided evidence that a specific MR training might contribute to enhance the MR ability, and the performance on the MR tests such as the Vandenberg and Kuse MR test (VMRT). Interestingly, gender differences were attenuated following training. A transfer was further observed on human anatomy learning. MR training and human anatomy learning are therefore hypothesized to share similar micro-competences. Our results also showed a transfer from anatomy learning to the spatial perception of a motor skill. Finally, MR has been found to share some micro-competences with motor performance requiring performing a forward roll, changing of directions and jumping. Hence, MR would be useful for the motor performance itself. Altogether, our results provided evidence that a specific MR training can be transferred to the human anatomy learning process, motor performance, as well as to child motor development. While the emergence of gender differences in MR might depend on the test used, such difference would be effective at 9 years of age for the VMRT. So far, future research remains necessary to determine in greater details the emergence of motor imagery accuracy in regards to its temporal aspect
