Reading habits of students in the last three years of primary school
No full textV magistrskem delu obravnavamo bralne navade učencev zadnjega triletja osnovne šole s poudarkom na branju literarnih besedil in dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na oblikovanje bralne kulture. Zanima nas tematika bralne kulture, saj privzemamo, da razvita bralna kultura pozitivno vpliva na bralno pismenost. Izhajamo iz teze, da imata na bralno kulturo in bralno pismenost pomemben vpliv družinsko okolje in šola. Bralne navade se v svetu in v Sloveniji v zadnjih letih spreminjajo. Zato nas še posebej zanimajo dejavniki oblikovanja bralne kulture. Predstavljamo tudi izsledke mednarodnih raziskav, na podlagi katerih v zadnjih letih spremljamo negativen trend dosežkov na področju bralnih navad, branja in bralne pismenosti. Slovenski učenci v zadnjih letih dosegajo slabše rezultate v mednarodnih raziskavah bralne pismenosti, kot sta PISA in PIRLS, z opaznimi razlikami v uspehu glede na spol. V nadaljevanju poskušamo odgovoriti na vprašanja, zakaj nekateri mladostniki berejo več od drugih, kaj je bralna motivacija, zakaj motivacija učencev za branje z leti šolanja upada, kdo in kako jih lahko motivira za branje.
V empiričnem delu ugotavljamo, kolikšen delež v raziskavo vključenih učencev zadnjega triletja osnovne šole v Sloveniji bere literarna besedila v prostem času, katero zvrst literarnih besedil berejo in ali obstajajo pri branju razlike med dekleti in fanti.
Vključene v raziskavo smo vprašali tudi o njihovi oceni časa, ki ga namenijo branju literarnih besedil, in času, ki ga namenijo drugim dejavnostim. Analizirali smo odgovore na vprašanja, kdo pomembno motivira v raziskavo vključene učence za branje v prostem času. Zanimali pa nas bodo tudi njihovi odgovori o tem, ali sploh berejo literarna besedila in če ne, kaj vidijo kot razlog, da ne berejo ali ne berejo pogosteje.
Ugotavljali smo še, ali je ocena znanja pri predmetu slovenščina povezana z branjem literarnih besedil kot prostočasne aktivnosti med osnovnošolci zadnjega triletja oz. ali učenci z višjo končno oceno pri slovenščini berejo več od tistih, ki imajo nižjo končno oceno znanja pri tem predmetu.
Glede na spreminjajoče se bralne navade tako mladih kot tudi odraslih nam branje predstavlja izziv, na katerega bomo morali odgovoriti oz. poiskati rešitve kot družba, če bomo hoteli, da branje (p)ostane vrednota in da ga približamo mladim kot nekaj, kar bodo radi počeli tudi v prostem času.This master thesis focuses on the reading habits of students in the last three years of primary school, with an emphasis on the reading of literary texts and the factors that influence the formation of a reading culture. We are interested in the topic of reading culture because we assume that a developed reading culture has a positive influence on reading literacy. We start from the thesis that the family environment and the school have an important influence on reading culture and literacy. Reading habits have been changing in the world and in Slovenia in recent years. We are therefore particularly interested in the factors shaping reading culture. We also present the results of international research, which have shown a negative trend in reading habits, reading and reading literacy in recent years. In recent years, Slovenian students have been underperforming in international literacy surveys such as PISA and PIRLS, with notable gender differences in performance. In the following, we try to answer the questions why some adolescents read more than others, what is reading motivation, why students\u27 motivation to read decreases with school years, who and how can motivate them to read.
The empirical section investigates the proportion of students in the last three years of primary school in Slovenia who read literary texts in their free time, the types of literary texts they prefer, and gender-based differences in reading habits.
We also asked the participants about their estimates of the amount of time they spend per week reading literary texts and the amount of time they spend on other activities. We analysed the answers to the questions about who motivates the pupils in the survey to read in their free time. We will also be interested in their answers about whether they read literary texts at all and, if not, what they see as reasons for not doing so or not doing so more often.
We also wanted to find out whether the final grade in the subject Slovene language is related to the reading of literary texts as a leisure activity among primary school pupils in the last three years of school, or whether pupils with higher final grades in Slovene language read more than those with lower final grades in this subject
Primary school students and multilingualism - Choice of language in selected communicative situations
No full textMed osnovnošolci druge in tretje triade je bila opravljena pisna anketa, s katero smo želeli preveriti, kako bi poimenovali oz. katere izraze bi izbrali za poimenovanje trgovin, javnih podjetij in organizacij, napisov na darilih, majicah … in kateri jezik bi izbrali v določenih primerih, slovenski ali tuji – angleški jezik. Predpostavljali smo, da bodo večinoma vsi, predvsem pa učenci zadnjih razredov osnovne šole v večini primerov raje izbrali poimenovanje v angleškem jeziku kot v slovenskem. Svojo izbiro so podkrepili tudi z utemeljitvijo izbire.A written survey was held among primary students of the second and third triad in order to check, how the students would name, or which expressions they would choose for naming shops, public companies and organizations, inscriptions on presents, T-shirts … and which lagnuage would be chosen in certain cases, Slovene or foreign – English. We presumed that most, esp. the older primary school students, would prefer to choose English rather than Slovene. Their choice was also supported by substantiation of their choice

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
