Aceptando la complejidad: la labor de los docentes del siglo XXI de adaptarse a los sistemas complejos
No full textThis paper explores the evolving role of English educators and assessment through the lens of complexity theory. Traditional education has always prioritized efficiency in evaluation, rejecting the unpredictability and multidimensional nature of learners. Complexity theory views learning as a dynamic, context-driven process, which requires assessment methods that reflect authentic engagement. Teachers are repositioned as mediators and reflective practitioners, shaping evaluation practices that align with emergent learning models. By incorporating insights from Complexity Theory and Díaz Larenas et al. (2021)’s principles of English assessment instruments, this reflection article examines how educators can reimagine how they think about their role as teachers and how they assess to enhance meaningful learning experiences and achieve authentic evaluation.Este artículo explora la evolución del rol de los educadores de inglés y la evaluación desde la perspectiva de la teoría de la complejidad. La educación tradicional siempre ha priorizado la eficiencia en la evaluación, al tiempo que rechaza la imprevisibilidad y la naturaleza multidimensional del aprendizaje. La teoría de la complejidad considera el aprendizaje como un proceso dinámico y dependiente del contexto, que requiere métodos de evaluación que reflejen un compromiso auténtico por parte del estudiante. Los docentes se reposicionan como mediadores y profesionales reflexivos, cambiando sus prácticas de evaluación para alinearse con modelos de aprendizaje emergentes. Al incorporar la perspectiva de la teoría de la complejidad y los principios de Díaz Larenas et al. (2021) de instrumentos de evaluación del inglés, este artículo de reflexión examina cómo los educadores pueden reimaginar su rol docente y cómo evalúan para mejorar las experiencias de aprendizaje y lograr una evaluación auténtica y significativa, particularmente en la enseñanza del inglés
Diversidad y la enseñanza de lenguas en los trabajos de grado de la licenciatura en lenguas extranjeras de la Universidad del Valle
No full textEsta investigación cualitativa surgió de un interés de identificar y analizar las visiones actuales de la diversidad en general y en el aula en los trabajos de grado del programa de la Licenciatura en Lenguas Extranjeras de la Universidad del Valle, en Cali. Para esto, se recogió información a través de un análisis documental de aquellos trabajos de estudiantes de la Licenciatura que estuvieron vinculados a sus prácticas docentes, y se complementó con una encuesta realizada a los docentes. Los resultados mostraron que aunque es posible apreciar un número de trabajos que incluyen la diversidad, la definición que gran parte de estos utilizan suele limitarse a describir diferencias culturales entre la población hablante de la lengua meta y la del estudiante, definición que además es establecida apoyándose en una serie de autores considerados eminencias en temáticas como la interculturalidad que no necesariamente hablan a partir de la experiencia. Esto puede contrastarse con los resultados de la encuesta, la cual muestra que los docentes de la licenciatura definen la diversidad como las diferentes manifestaciones de la(s) identidad(es) de cada persona en cuanto a género/sexo, raza/etnia, lengua, estatus socioeconómico, etc., y que esta es un elemento elemental en el aula de clase, por lo que debe incluirse en las clases de lenguas extranjeras.PregradoLICENCIADO(A) EN LENGUAS EXTRANJERAS INGLÉS - FRANCÉ
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
