The role of research in mentoring
Full text linkAdditional chapter by author from the same book deposited at: https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/10906In this chapter, the focus is on how mentors can make the best use of research in their work with beginning teachers. At the end of the chapter, the people should be able to: Explain why mentors should engage with research, Identify how mentors can engage with and make the best use of research and Select the kinds of research mentors and beginning teachers should engage with about the mentoring relationship as well as teaching and learning. There are convincing arguments for why mentors should engage with research. The mentor–mentee relationship can be better understood by engaging in research linked to theoretical frameworks derived from the literature. Earl and Timperley’s notion of evidence-informed learning conversations could provide a foundation for mentor–mentee relationships and discussions about teaching and learning. There is a considerable range of educational related research to choose from, and it is difficult to know which research is credible and reliable.https://www.routledge.com/Mentoring-Teachers-in-the-Primary-School-A-Practical-Guide/Howells-Lawrence-Roden/p/book/9781138389076pubpu
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
The interruption and deconstruction of lure through ‘play fake’ behaviours using the en vivo leadership time-phased intervention methodology to affirm children’s agency when under online predatorial duress.
No full textAntecedents of behaviours associated with play have been linked with the ‘seeking system’, a primary process evolved from a mammalian need for survival (Wright & Panksepp, 2012). This neurobiological activity houses instinct and intuition, and evolves to curiosity. A case is made for working alongside this inquisitive driver to support children's natural maturation through play which is activated in real world surroundings and arguably replicated by/in aspects of virtual play.
To build decision making capability, resourcefulness and resilience for a child’s playtime online, a metacognitive model is adopted where metacognition concerns the capacity of awareness of cognitive processes and their regulation (Fleur, Bredeweg & van den Bos, 2021). By implementing the (adapted) en vivo leadership methodology (Murray, 2006; 2020), a dynamic phase characterised by contextual uncertainty for the child subjected to intrapersonal instability due to online susceptibility, will be scrutinised. Salient online experiences will be collated and used to inform the design of a workshop to (further) equip play caretakers in their facilitation of children's assured online play, and to underpin the development of children's agency by fortifying their critical thinking skills in the role of play participant.

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
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
