Intervento e competenze per le professioni educative nella condizione postmediale
No full textThe concept of post-media condition refers to the theoretical work of Rosalind Krauss, particularly her interpretation of contemporary art in recent decades. Krauss, a scholar at MIT in Boston, challenges Clement Greenberg's classical perspective, which defines the specificity of an artistic medium in terms of the materiality of the tools it employs. Instead, Krauss, studying the work of Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers, rejects this reductionist view of the aesthetic medium in favor of the idea that it is a complex device, incorporating aesthetic conventions, technological tools, and the materiality of the medium itself. This perspective leads to the notion of "post-media art," suggesting that artistic work extends beyond the tools and materials used in its creation. This insight can be applied to all media, especially in the age of platforms and data, where media can be considered internal elements of an ecosystem, tending to blend within it. This is the essence of the post-media condition.
The Communication Ecosystem: From Tools to Connective Tissue
The evolution of contemporary media conceptualization can be traced through three metaphors. Firstly, media as tools—channels of communication like radio, television, the web, and digital platforms. However, viewing media solely as instruments neglects their role in shaping contexts and disregards their affordances. Secondly, media as environments, akin to ecological systems where behaviors and sustainability matter. However, this metaphor overlooks the seamless integration of media into daily life in the post-media condition. Thus, a third metaphor emerges—media as connective tissue. Like skin, media are our primary interface with the external world while also holding us together. They extend our cognitive functions and mediate major activities, eventually becoming ingrained in consumption practices, defining a post-media society.
Platforms, Data, AI: Emerging Educational Needs
In the post-media condition, new educational needs arise. Platformization, characterized by centralized content access and user profiling, raises concerns about individual freedom amid data tracking and profiling. Datification, fueled by big data and AI, offers opportunities for analysis but also raises privacy concerns. AI advancements, particularly in deep learning and generative AI, present both creative and ethical implications, demanding transparency and critical thinking. These developments call for updated educational competencies, especially in media literacy and digital pedagogy.
Intervention Areas and Competencies
Educators must adapt to these changes across various domains. In early childhood education, embracing digital tools fosters creativity and critical thinking. In schools, balancing tradition with digital innovation requires new competencies in new literacies and blended learning. In socio-sanitary services, peer and media education can address community needs through digital technologies, necessitating skills in social work, communication, and media literacy. Overall, addressing the educational implications of the post-media condition requires a comprehensive reevaluation of training goals and methodologies
Le competenze digitali degli educatori socio-pedagogici
No full textL’educatore socio-pedagogico è un professionista che opera in ambito socioeducativo, formativo e pedagogico, in rapporto ad attività svolte in modo formale, non formale e informale, nelle varie fasi della vita, in una prospettiva di crescita personale e sociale. Quali sono le competenze digitali che dovrebbero essere acquisite da un
educatore socio-pedagogico durante la sua formazione iniziale e continua?
Sebbene il contesto della formazione dei docenti scolastici offra una visione
maggiormente chiara sul tema del digitale, la focalizzazione sulle competenze
digitali nella formazione degli educatori è ancora poco definita
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

No full textVariations 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
