Ethical use in the teaching of ICT and initial teacher training: a preliminary study on the descriptors of the observational tools TOOLS
No full textThe relationship among quality, ethics and technology requires the development of new literacy prospects
and innovative training methods to operate through information and communication networks that
are able to widen the repertoire of teachers and of cultural and professional educators. Similarly, the
quality of their teaching activity strictly relies on the political support shown towards their professional
development. The study reports on the development of tools that try to understand the point of view
of initial training teachers on the ethical use of technology within the field of education, by making
use of the competence indicators available in the literature, and investigates their level of ethical
awareness with regard to the multimodal and multicultural nature of ICT
E-learning, formazione a distanza e multimedialità
No full textDue diversi paradigmi culturali e pedagogici sottendono all’e-learning: quello delle tecnologie dell’informazione, per cui attraverso la web based instruction si trasferiscono a distanza oggetti multimediali per l’autoapprendimento dei saperi, e quello delle tecnologie della comunicazione, per cui attraverso la computer mediated communication si costruiscono socialmente le conoscenze nelle comunità virtuali di apprendimento. I laboratori e il tirocinio on-line, di cui si presenta l’esperienza, rappresentano l’integrazione dei due paradigmi, in quanto realizzano comunità di discorsi e di pratiche attraverso ambienti multimediali e interattivi di apprendimento collaborativo
Educational Television for Children
No full textThe essay regards the relationship between education and television, and in particular tries to answer to three key problems concerning, in order: must "educational" distinguish a media programme in and of itself? How can be educational children's television characterised? What educational and psychological aspects must be borne in mind when designing and producing shows or texts for children
Per una televisione educativa dell'infanzia
No full textRiflettendo sul rapporto tra educazione e televisione, il saggio tocca tre nodi problematici, riguardanti nell’ordine: se l’educativo debba contraddistinguere una programmazione a sé stante; come possa scaratterizzarsi una televisione educativa per l’infanzia; di quali aspetti psicopedagogici sia essenziale tenere conto nel progettare e produrre trasmissioni o testi per l’infanzia
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
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
Appropriate 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
