An introduction to the ITT curriculum
No full textIn 2019 the Government commissioned an independent consultative review of all the Initial Teacher Training Providers (ITTPs) in England. This became known as the Market Review. The outcome of consultation led to all ITT providers in England having to apply for reaccreditation status in order to be able to continue training teachers. In the same year the Department for Education (DfE) published a document that replaced the previous Framework of Core Content for Initial Teacher Training (2016) that had been created by experts in the ITT field, namely the Core Content Framework (2019).This document was to provide the framework (or building blocks) from which all accredited providers designed their ITT excellent provision ‘The Core Content Framework (CCF) acts as a guide for providers of initial teacher training (ITT), who should 'craft the experiences and activities detailed in the ITT Core Content Framework into a coherent sequence that supports trainees to succeed in the classroom'. Ref Required 8 Nov 2021.This chapter will introduce you to the phrasing used across the CCF and help you unpick the key terminology that forms the basis of your Initial Teacher Training Programme. It will explore how the CCF is used to create an Initial Teacher Training (ITT) curriculum and identify and exemplify the importance of delivering carefully crafted, logically sequenced training year/s both within the Curriculum Learning Centres (CLCs) and within School Based Learning Centres (SBLCs). It will also review the regulation of ITT provision through the statutory regulatory body of Ofsted
How research informs the professional development curricula for trainees and teachers
No full textThis chapter introduces the core statutory framework that provides the foundational evidence base for ITE and ECT Training programmes in England, the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF) (DfE, 2024). It considers the research and evidence base that informs the content of the ITT and ECT curricula. It explores what high-quality ITT and ECT curricula, that encourage wider research informed approaches to teaching and learning, look like. The statements within the ITTECF (DfE, 2024) setting out the foundational concepts of how trainees learn, and the pedagogical delivery are explored. The chapter then takes a more in-depth review of additional research, through the work of Clarke and Hollingsworth (2002). Analysis and exemplification materials demonstrate how using wider research in this field, beyond the ITTECF (DfE, 2024), can promote deeper learning. Finally, the chapter introduces a discussion on the benefits of developing research-led teaching and learning through communities of practice (CoPs) (Lave and Wenger, 1991). An example case study illuminates how impactful and effective continual professional development can be for practicing teachers, when delivered by research-informed academic experts
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
