ESTUDIO PRELIMINAR SOBRE LAS DIFERENCIAS EN LOS RESULTADOS ACADÉMICOS ENTRE NIÑOS Y NIÑAS DE 6.º DE PRIMARIA Y 2.º Y 4.º DE ESO
Get PDFThere are many studies that indicate that girls and boys have different way of learning and, academic results are different for gender. In this work we obtained information from students of Primary and Secondary School with the idea to contrastthose results. First we are obtained academic results and the whole information was getting it by surveys, first for teachers and the second for students. The surveys were developed at five Centers from Valencia Community. For data analysis SPSS v13 software for Windows were used and, multivariant and descriptive analysis were made. Results obtained not always were agreed with the literature. Our teachers from Primary School did not find significant differences for gender. By other hand female students were significant (P<0,05) better than male in Language and Mathematics subjects, being these results related with more interest and effort by the females students.

En este trabajo hemos recogido información sobre estudiantes de Primaria y Secundaria, con el fin de comprobar si dichas teorías se ajustan a la realidad. Para ello hemos utilizado, por un lado, resultados académicos y, por otro, la información recogida a través de dos encuestas. La primera, dirigida a profesores/as de Primaria y Secundaria, y la segunda, a alumnos/as de diferentes niveles educativos, pertenecientes a cinco centros escolares de la provincia de Valencia. Tras un análisis estadístico realizado con el programa spss 13.0 para Windows, en el que se han utilizado diversos métodos según el tipo de datos (análisis factorial cluster, anova anovaanova, etc.), hemos comprobado que nuestros datos no siempre concuerdan con la bibliografía consultada. Nuestros profesores y profesoras de Primaria no parecen encontrar diferencias entre ambos sexos y, al contrario de los últimos resultados de las pruebas pisapisa , nuestras alumnas no sólo son mejores que los alumnos en Lengua, sino también en Matemáticas, y esto parece tener una clara relación con un mayor interés y esfuerzo por parte de éstas.

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
LA LA PERCEPCIÓN DEL PROFESORADO DE EDUCACIÓN SECUNDARIA ANTE LA CONFLICTIVIDAD ESCOLAR
No full textLa conflictividad escolar es un tema que preocupa a un gran sector de la sociedad y que ha sido ampliamente estudiado en los últimos años. Un trabajo publicado por García y Martínez (2001) nos mostraba cuál era la percepción de los docentes y de los alumnos sobre los conflictos en las aulas de educación secundaria de la Comunidad Valenciana (España) en el curso 1998-1999. Con el objeto de analizar cuál es la situación en nuestros centros en la actualidad y compararla con la del estudio mencionado, se repitió este trabajo durante el curso 2011-2012 en la ciudad de Valencia. Este artículo muestra los resultados obtenidos a partir de un cuestionario de opinión aplicado a 271 profesores de educación secundaria. El instrumento utilizado fue el cuestionario sobre los conflictos en las aulas de ESO de la Comunidad Valenciana, que fue elaborado por el equipo de trabajo del profesor Juan Escámez (García y Martínez, 2001) para el primer estudio. Los datos recogidos se analizaron estadísticamente mediante la realización de cálculos de frecuencia, pruebas Chi2, pruebas no paramétricas y análisis de regresión logística.
El conflicto más frecuente, según los docentes, era la violencia verbal, los lugares más habituales el patio y/o el aula, y la consecuencia más importante de la violencia en el aula era que impedía aprender a los alumnos que lo deseaban. Además, un 15% del profesorado se sentía desmotivado. La opinión de los docentes con respecto al primer estudio es bastante similar, aunque en general tienen una visión más positiva de la conflictividad.

Abstract: Large part of society is concerned about school conflictivity, a subject that have been studied in depth over the last few years. A study published by García & Martínez (2001) shows the perception of in-service Secondary teachers and students in relation to conflicts in High Schools of the Valencian Community (Spain) during the school year 1998-1999. We have done this study again in Valencia City in order to analyze the conflictivity during the school year 2011-2012 and compared it to the mentioned study. This paper shows the results of an opinion survey applied to 271 in-service Secondary teachers. The Cuestionario sobre los conflictos en las aulas de ESO de la Comunidad Valenciana, developed by Juan Escámez’s research group (García y Martínez, 2001), has been the tool used. Data has been statistically analyzed, doing frequency analyses, Chi2 tests, non parametric tests and logistic regression. Verbal violence is the most frequent type of conflict, playground and/or classroom are the most regular places and conflicts specially prevent students learning. Furthermore, 15% of the teachers are unmotivated. Teachers agree with the mentioned study, although they have a more positive general view about conflictivity.

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
