Estrategias Didácticas Innovadoras para Fortalecer el Pensamiento Crítico y las Competencias Estadísticas en Estudiantes de Salud Animal: Innovative Instructional Strategies to Strengthen Critical Thinking and Statistical Competencies in Animal Health Students
Get PDFThe development of critical thinking and statistical competencies is essential in the training of animal health students. This study evaluated the impact of innovative teaching strategies on the learning of these concepts through a quasi-experimental design. An experimental group received active methodologies such as scientific article analysis, argumentative dialogue, and project-based learning, while a control group followed a traditional approach.
The results showed significant improvements in the experimental group across all evaluated dimensions. Increases of 17.1% in the application of statistical methods (p = 0.018) and 21.2% in critical data analysis (p = 0.009) were recorded, whereas improvements in the control group were marginal. These findings suggest that active methodologies enhance the understanding and application of statistical tools in real-world animal health contexts.
The implementation of teaching strategies based on active learning proved effective in strengthening evidence-based argumentation and informed decision-making. It is concluded that these strategies should be integrated into the academic curriculum, complemented by formative assessment tools. Future studies could explore their long-term impact and applicability in other areas of knowledge.El desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y las competencias estadísticas es fundamental en la formación de estudiantes de salud animal. Este estudio evaluó el impacto de estrategias didácticas innovadoras en el aprendizaje de estos conceptos mediante un diseño cuasi-experimental. Se trabajó con un grupo experimental, que recibió metodologías activas como análisis de artículos científicos, diálogo argumentativo y aprendizaje basado en proyectos, y un grupo de control que siguió un enfoque tradicional.
Los resultados evidenciaron mejoras significativas en el grupo experimental en todas las dimensiones evaluadas.

Estos hallazgos sugieren que las metodologías activas favorecen la comprensión y aplicación de herramientas estadísticas en contextos reales de salud animal.
La implementación de estrategias didácticas basadas en el aprendizaje activo demostró ser efectiva para fortalecer la argumentación basada en evidencia y la toma de decisiones fundamentadas. Se concluye que estas estrategias deberían integrarse en el currículo académico, complementadas con herramientas de evaluación formativa. Estudios futuros podrían explorar su impacto a largo plazo y su aplicabilidad en otras áreas del conocimiento
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
Un estudio descriptivo sobre las estrategias de solución que emplean algunos estudiantes de grado décimo, usando Geogebra : caso área bajo la curva.
No full textEste trabajo de grado va dirigido a docentes de matemáticas interesados en el concepto de área, en especial en los aspectos relacionados con las estrategias de solución que emplean algunos estudiantes al abordar tareas relacionadas con áreas de regiones curvilíneas. Se encuentran aspectos generales en torno a la evolución del concepto de área a través de la historia de las matemáticas y algunas aproximaciones a dicho concepto en el ámbito escolar según planteamientos principalmente de Freudenthal; aproximaciones que fueron tenidas en cuenta en las tres actividades que constituyen el instrumento sobre el cual se identifican, describen e interpretar las estrategias puestas en juego por estudiantes entre 15 y 17 años de edad.Especialista en Educación MatemáticaEspecializació
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
