Frafald fra erhvervsuddannelserne:mellem social eksklusion og institutionel selektion
No full textDe sidste tyve år har der været en stor bekymring for den såkaldte restgruppe af unge som ikke gennemfører nogen uddannelse efter grundskolen – og i stigende grad for drengene, som i dag udgør flertallet i denne gruppe. Stort set alle unge i restgruppen har tidligere været i gang med en ungdomsuddannelse, heraf langt de fleste en erhvervsuddannelse. Flertallet af unge uden en ungdomsuddannelse er altså faldet fra en erhvervsuddannelse (Jørgensen 2011). Derfor har der de været stor politisk interesse for at få reduceret frafaldet fra erhvervsuddannelserne. Der er anvendt meget store ressourcer på at reducere restgruppen, men uden at frafaldet er reduceret nævneværdigt - og uden at der er nogen forklaring på de beskedne resultater af indsatsen . Artiklen argumenterer for at det blandt andet skyldes forenklede og fejlagtige forståelser af fænomenet frafald. Artiklen peger på at frafald blandt andet skyldes vurderings- og selektionsprocesser, der er en integreret del af det nuværende uddannelsessystems måde at fungere på. Løsninger må derfor søges i mere grundlæggende ændringer, som kan bidrage til at give alle reelle muligheder for at gennemføre en ungdomsuddannelse. Artiklen er baseret på et større forskningsprojekt om frafald i erhvervsuddannelserne i Danmar
Praksisinddragelse som vej til inklusion?
No full textPraktisk værkstedsarbejde bliver i skole- og uddannelsespolitiske diskussioner ofte omtalt som en didaktisk vej til at gøre op med fænomenet ’taberdrenge’ og til at inkludere drenge og mænd i uddannelse. Med afsæt i pædagogisk udviklingsarbejde på uddannelsen til multimediedesigner undersøger artiklen, om praksisinddragelse i undervisning har en særlig gavnlig virkning for inklusion af drenge og mænd. Via en opmærksomhed på faglighed, specialisering og arbejdsdelinger i faget sættes der fokus på, hvordan praksisinddragende undervisning ser ud til at skabe konfigurationer mellem faglighed og køn, der kan føre til in- og eksklusioner blandt uddannelsens mandlige såvel som kvindelige studerende
Multicultural and multilingual educator professionalism
Full text linkThis article investigates how multicultural and multilingual educator professionalism unfolds as a dynamic phenomenon among educators in Danish and Swedish preschools and primary schools. Reflexive dialogues were produced with educators in three different action research studies. These dialogues were analysed by employing conceptual approaches of educator professionalism, equity pedagogy, and multicultural and multilingual education. The analyses show how the educators: (i) critically examine their constructions of pupils/children, (ii) develop increasingly broad views on how knowledge and learning can be productively produced in classroom interaction, and (iii) show awareness about societal language ideologies. The educators’ nuanced reflections on their own pedagogical practices displayed contradictions and ambivalences. We argue that the educators’ reflections point to possible renewals of pedagogical practices that place multiculturalism and multilingualism at the centre of educator professionalism

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
