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
KARIÉROVÉ PORADENSTVO V PRÁCI ŠKOLSKÉHO PSYCHOLÓGA ZÁKLADNEJ ŠKOLY
Get PDFPodpora schopnosti kariérového rozhodovania žiakov by mala patriť k primárnym úlohám školskéhopsychológa. Prax nám ukazuje, že ide o jednu zo zanedbávaných oblastí. Pretrváva tzv. medicínsky model prístupuv tejto problematike naproti modelu preventívnemu, ktorý sa javí ako optimálny. Aj v našej praxi postupujemepodľa nie veľmi efektívneho medicínskeho modelu, čo súvisí s organizáciou výkonu profesie školského psychológa. Ajtu je však možné aspoň sčasti prispieť k rozvoju kariérového rozhodovania žiakov – diagnosticky, a potomkonzultačne a intervenčne. V spomenutej oblasti sme realizovali výskum, v rámci ktorého nás zaujímalo, či sa žiacirozhodujú pre určitý typ školy v súlade s ich záujmami. Osobitne nás zaujímalo, či sa takto rozhodujú aj žiaci sošpeciálnymi edukačnými potrebami, pričom v tejto oblasti je potrebné vziať do úvahy ešte viac vplývajúcichfaktorov, ako je tomu pri práci so žiakmi intaktnými. Celkovo tvorilo výskumný súbor 100 žiakov deviatych ročníkovdvoch štátnych základných škôl, z toho 62 intaktných a 38 začlenených (20 žiakov s poruchami a 18 nadanýchžiakov)
PRÍKLADY DOBREJ PRAXE VO VÝSKUMNEJ ČINNOSTI ŠKOLSKÉHO PSYCHOLÓGA
Get PDFAutor v príspevku uvádza vybrané príklady dobrej praxe pri výkone profesie školského psychológa v základnej škole. Zameriava sa na oblasti, ktorých úroveň prieskumne alebo výskumne zisťuje, a v niektorých prípadoch overuje štatistickými metódami. Ide napríklad o záťaž učiteľov, výskyt sociálno-patologických javov, sociálne pozície žiakov, profesijná orientácia žiakov, jazykové schopnosti žiakov, rôzne okolnosti fungovania žiakov so špeciálnymi výchovno-vzdelávacími potrebami
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
INTERACTION STYLES OF TEACHERS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DARK TRIAD
Get PDFObjective: The objective of this study is to investigte a relationship between the dimensions of the dark triad (Machiavellism, Psychopathy, Narcissism) and the individual interaction styles of a teacher (Leadership, Helpful, Understanding, Student-teacher responsibility, Uncertain, Dissatisfied, Objecting, Strict)
Theoretical Framework: The dark triad is a set of three personality traits, namely narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy, which are associated with manipulative and exploitative behaviors in interpersonal relationships. This paper examines the relationship between the dark triad and teachers' interaction styles. Specifically, it explores how teachers with high levels of dark triad traits may interact with students in ways that are detrimental to the students' academic and social development.
Method: The battery of questionnaires used contained demographic questions at the start, concerning age and gender, teaching profession (preschool/primary teacher, lower or higher secondary teacher, teaching assistant, school principal). The preferred interaction styles of teachers were measured via the Questionnaire of teacher interaction style – self-evaluation, which leans of the teacher interaction behaviour model according to Wubbels et al. (1987) stemming from Leary´s personality model (Leary, 1957) and it measures eight sectors of teacher behaviour: Leadership, helpful, understanding, student-teacher responsibility, uncertain, dissatisfied, objecting, strict. To measure the presence of the so-called dark triad in the personality of the participants we used the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen questionnaire (Jonason, Webster, 2010).
Results and Discussion: We found that all three dimensions of the dark triad – Machiavellism, Psychopathy and Narcissism show a medium strength negative relationship to the interaction styles Leadership, Helpful, Understanding and Student-teacher responsibility. All the dimensions of the dark triad – Machiavellism, Psychopathy and Narcissism had a medium strength positive relationship with the interaction styles Uncertain, Dissatisfied, Objecting. A weak positive relationship between the dark triad dimension Machiavellism and the interaction style Strict. Between the dark triad dimensions Psychopathy and Narcissism and the interaction style Strict, no relationship was found.
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of education. In relation to this, researchers emphasise the importance of prevention and interventions aimed mainly at the development of emotional intelligence, communicational skills and the creation of positive relationships. This can help minimise the negative influence of the dark triad on teacher interactions and relationships to students.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by showing correlations between the dimensions of the dark triad and teachers' preferred interaction styles. In addition to the importance of prevention, we also highlight issues in the selection of candidates for the teaching profession
