Denne masteroppgaven undersøker hvorvidt broken av sangleker kan påvirke læring i musikk-klasserommet. Forfatteren har gjennomført semi-strukturerte intervjuer med seks musikklærere i Australia, som alle har bakgrunn fra Kodály-pedagogikk, for å undersøke deres erfaringer med bruken av sangleker i musikk-klasserom og hvorvidt de tror at sangleker kan påvirke elevenes læring. Dataene fra intervjuene er blitt transkribert tematisk, og undersøkt i lys av teoretiske perspektiver knyttet til sosiokulturell læring og motivasjonsteori. Oppgaven fokuserer spesielt på deltagende teorier om læring, slik de blir holdt frem av Rogoff (1995, 2003) og Lave og Wenger (1991). Tidligere forskning relatert til studiet av sangleker og den pedagogiske bruken av lek, samt ulike forståelser av lek i skolen er også blitt undersøkt.
Forfatteren har funnet at lærerene som ble intervjuet mener at sangleker kan påvirke elevenes læring på fire ulike måter. For det første fører sangleker til glede hos elevene, noe som videre kan føre til kjærlighet for musikk, skapelse av lykkelige minner og kan være en kilde til trøst for elevene. For det andre engasjerer bruken av sangleker elevene og fører til deltakelse. Lærerne diskuterte spesielt hvordan lekene kan kanalisere elevenes energi og hjelpe dem å fokusere; at de er en mulighet for fysisk aktivitet; at de gir en mulighet for korte «hjernepauser»; og at sangleker passer med såkalt «gamification» i dagens klasserom. For det tredje mener lærerne at bruken av sangleker kan føre til sosial læring i elevgruppen. Dette blir diskutert i form av undervisning i «myke ferdigheter», demokratisering av klasserommet, undervisning i viktigheten av regler, bygging av fellesskap og opprettelsen av fysisk kontakt med andre elever og læreren. For det fjerde mener lærerne at sangleker kan være nyttige for å lære konseptuelle ferdigheter så vel som å øve på ferdigheter. Dette blir diskutert i form av undervisning av musikalske konsepter og ferdigheter, bredere utdanningskonsepter- og ferdigheter, hjelp med formativ vurdering, ubevisst lek gjennom læring og gjøring og praktisering av motoriske ferdigheter.
Forfatteren finner at sangleker kan forstås som en særlig nyttig metode for å oppnå elevdeltakelse i musikk som et klasseromsfag. I Rogoffs (1995, 2003) terminologi kan deltakelse forstås som faktisk læring. Forfatteren finner også at sangleker er et særlig godt eksempel på hva Bentsen og Håland (2021) kaller fag-spesifikk lek i skolen. Alt i alt finner forfatteren god støtte i datagrunnlaget for at sangleker kan påvirke læring i musikk-klasserommet.Summary -
This master’s thesis investigates whether the use of singing games can influence learning in the music classroom. The author conducted semi-structured interviews with six music teachers in Australia who have a background in Kodály pedagogy, in order to investigate their experiences of using singing games in the music classroom, and whether they believed singing games could influence students’ learning. The data from these interviews was then transcribed thematically and examined in light of theoretical perspectives relating to sociocultural learning, as well as motivation theory. The thesis has a particular focus on the participatory theories of learning as put forward by Rogoff (1995, 2003) and Lave and Wenger (1991). Previous research was also investigated relating to the study of singing games and the pedagogical use of games, as well as different understandings of play in schooling.
The author has found that the teachers interviewed believe singing games can influence their students’ learning in four main ways. Firstly, that singing games spark joy in their students, which can further lead to fostering a love of music, the creation of happy memories and a source of comfort for the students. Secondly, that the use of singing games engages the students and leads to student participation. The teachers discussed how the games can channel the students’ energy and help them focus; that they are an opportunity for a physical activity; that they offered the chance for a “brain break”; and how singing games fit with the gamification of today’s classroom. Thirdly, the teachers believe that the use of singing games can lead to social learning in the student group. This is discussed in terms of teaching soft skills, democratising the classroom, teaching the importance of rules, community building, and creating a physical connection with other students and the teacher. Finally, the teachers believe that singing games can be useful for the learning of concepts as well as the learning and practice of skills. This is discussed in terms of teaching musical concepts and skills, broader educational concepts and skills, assisting with formative assessment, unconscious play through learning and doing, as well as practising motor skills.
The author finds that singing games can be understood as a particularly useful way for students to participate in classroom music. In Rogoff’s (1995, 2003) terms, participation can be understood to actually be learning. The author also finds that singing games are a particularly good example of what Bentsen and Håland (2021) call subject-specific play in schooling. Overall, the author finds that singing games are capable of influencing learning in the music classroom, at least in the opinion of the teachers interviewed.publishedVersio
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
