Nivel lector y construcción del conocimiento en la universidad a partir de fuentes digitales e impresas
Full text link[ES]El principal propósito de esta tesis doctoral es: a) determinar si los alumnos que comienzan y han finalizado alguna de las titulaciones de maestro en la Universidad de Salamanca, disponen de habilidades básicas de comprensión y expresión escrita; y b) comprobar en ambas muestras la influencia que tiene el tipo de texto, impreso e hipervinculado, en la utilización de las estrategias de comprensión y expresión escrita necesarias para realizar una determinada tarea académica (la realización de un resumen escrito). Para ello, utilizamos dos diseños diferentes: uno de carácter pre-experimental, cuya variable independiente es el momento formativo; y otro de carácter cuasiexperimental, que toma en consideración tanto el momento formativo como el formato textual. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el lector, independientemente del momento formativo en el que se encuentra (y en el caso de la tarea de resumen, del formato textual en el que lee el texto), no parte de un modelo de tarea adecuado que le permita obtener un producto de tarea satisfactorio.[EN]The main purpose of this doctoral thesis is: a) to determine if the university students who start and have finished a teaching degree in Salamanca University, have the basic reading and writing skills; and b) to check in both samples the influence of text type, printed and hyperlinked, on the use of the reading and writing strategies which are necessary to do a given academic task (making a written summary). To do this, we use two different designs: one of them with a pre-experimental character whose independent variable is the formative moment, and the other with a quasi-experimental character that takes into account both the formative moment variable and the text format variable. The outcomes suggest that the reader, independently of his/her formative moment (and the text type in case of the summary task), does not take as point of departure an appropriate task model which leads to obtain a satisfactory product
Inclusion of dyslexic students in heterogeneous groups to write essays in a virtual environment
No full text[EN] This study analyzes the incidence of the type of grouping strategy (homogeneous or heterogeneous groups) on a virtual learning environment for development of reading comprehension and writing expression skills and for inclusion self-perception of college students with phonological dyslexia diagnosed. A quasi-experimental design is established that considers writing an individual essay as pre- and post-test measures; and writing group essays in Blackboard Collaborative as the treatment or test. Concretely, it is selected a sample of eight groups (four homogeneous and four heterogeneous) made up of three members (one diagnosed with phonological dyslexia). The results showed that dyslexic students integrated into heterogeneous groups when working cooperatively, and felt more included in their groups. This had positive repercussions on the individual essays carried out by these students, as they move from a low competence level to a medium competence level
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
Competencias procedimentales para elaborar resúmenes escritos. El caso de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Salamanca
Full text linkUn aspecto de vital importancia para el avance académico de los alumnos, especialmente en el ámbito universitario, es el desarrollo de tareas de síntesis. Las técnicas de síntesis, como el resumen, facilitan la comprensión de textos complejos y la construcción de conocimiento, siempre que se apliquen procedimientos adecuados. Para determinar que influencia tienen el momento de formación académica y el formato textual al elaborar resúmenes, analizamos los procedimientos que utiliza el alumnado que comienza a cursar estudios de Magisterio y el que ya los ha finalizado para resumir textos impresos y aquellos que cuentan con hipervínculos. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el momento formativo influye en la utilización de ciertos procedimientos, si bien ni este factor ni el formato textual parecen promover la realización exitosa de la tarea
Directrices de la administración educativa estatal y autonómica (Andalucía) para dar respuesta a la crisis sanitaria de la pandemia covid-19: Voces del profesorado de educación secundaria
No full textABSTRACT This work aims to determine to what extent the guidelines issued by educational administrations during the COVID-19 crisis (2019/2020 academic year) have been implemented in compulsory Secondary Education centers. A qualitative naturopathic study was established based on a sample of 7 teachers from different educational centers in the city of Almería. The results showed that the administrative guidelines were very generic, which led to problems of adaptation to virtual teaching, as well as adaptations to the training and evaluation guidelines depending on each center and each teacher. In conclusion, emphasis is placed on the need to establish more explicit guidelines by the administration that allow standard procedures to be carried out, although they favor flexibility depending on each contexts and suppose a common reference for the different educational centersRESUMEN El principal propósito de este trabajo es conocer el grado de implementación de las directrices dictadas por las administraciones educativas durante la crisis del COVID-19 (curso 2019/2020) en los centros de Educación Secundaria obligatoria. Para ello se establece un estudio de corte cualitativo naturista que parte de una muestra de 7 docentes de diferentes centros educativos de la ciudad de Almería. Los resultados muestran que las directrices administrativas fueron muy genéricas, lo que llevó a problemas de adaptación a la docencia virtual, así como adaptaciones de las directrices de formación y evaluación en función de cada centro e incluso en función de cada docente. Como conclusión se hace hincapié en la necesidad de establecer directrices más claras por parte de la administración que permitan llevar a cabo procedimientos comunes que, aunque favorezcan la flexibilización en función de cada contexto, supongan un referente común para los diferentes centros educativos
