Utforska ekologi och hållbarhetsfrågor i förskolans vardag [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textDen här artikeln beskriver, med avstamp i relevant forskning, hur barn i förskolan kan utveckla en förståelse och ett varsamt förhållningssätt inom området ekologi och hållbarhet. Den beskriver också hur förskolan kan öppna upp för de sociala och ekonomiska dimensionerna av hållbar utveckling genom att utforska de ekologiska kopplingar som finns i barnens egna frågor.</p
Barns frågor under en utforskande process kring träd: Children's questions about trees
No full textThe aim of the study is to scrutinize children´s meaning-making in a tree-project during one year in apreschool class. The purpose with this article is to shed light on what happens in children’s encounterswith the trees and how an exploratory approach might encompass children’s own questions and workingtheories.By mapping the children´s explorative process from the Deluzian concept learning as a relational fieldof potentiality (Dahlberg & Elfström, 2014), the connections are identified and analyzed. The data hasbeen generated through ethnographical methods: participant observations, focus groups and stimulatedrecall. The children’s aesthetic works and the concluding exhibition with additional walks are also part ofthe data generating.The mapping of the tree-project makes the meaning-making visible, where the children’s questions centeron complex issues with further connections to ecological issues and sustainability. The driving force of theproject is the questions that the children pose, while the pedagogues support their explorations in orderto deepen and develop the learning possibilities

Jordbundna erfarenheter, kunskaper och kopplingar om väder och klimat : förskolan i Antropocen
No full textFöreliggande studie har som syfte att undersöka vilka kunskaper och erfarenheter som förskollärare lyfter fram i samtal kring förskolebarns utforskande av väder och klimat som naturvetenskapliga fenomen. Det empiriska materialet omfattas av deltagande observationer vid ett nätverksmöte med förskollärare som under läsåret 2020/2021 har temat väder och klimat. Med hjälp av begreppen ”terrestri-al” och ”natur-kultur” hämtade från Donna Haraway och Bruno Latour görs analyser av förskollärarnas samtal. Studien visar att de kunskaper och erfarenheter som förskollärare lyfter fram som handlar om kroppsliga upplevelser av natur och väder, men även om en medvetenhet om och kunskap kring människans del i ekologin. Studien visar utöver detta vilka didaktiska frågor och överväganden som aktualiseras i förskollärares samtal om barns utforskande av väder och klimat samt belyser frågan om att göra och synliggöra kopplingar kring naturvetenskap-liga fenomen. I relation till tidigare forskning om didaktiska överväganden inom naturvetenskaplig undervisning i en antropocen tid problematiseras den polarise-rade frågan om att ”lära-om” kontra att ”lära-med” natur och väder i en förskole-kontext.</p
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
