Apprendere e valutare per competenze: una proposta operativa per il tirocinio professionale di servizio sociale
Full text linkFormulating competencies for professional training of Social Work, according to the new paradigm in Higher Education, is not an easy act, but demands for a deep insight in the ethical and methodological elements of the profession, as well as a significant attention to the moral attitudes and professional identity of the students who are to become future Social Workers. Furthermore, educational responsibility asks for close consideration and care for society’s needs as well as sound understanding and control of the labour market.
On such premises and by taking into account the learning objectives that were developed by International Organizations, in this work will be analyzed the training for Social Work, with the purpose of understanding what competencies a student should acquire in practice and how they will be evaluated by the various actors involved. Will be presented, therefore, an operational proposal, the result of a bibliographic study and an empirical research articulated in several phases, for promoting and strengthening holistic experiential learning processes. A flexible tool, subdivided into knowledge, skills and competencies, both for the first cycle and the second cycle of studies, that takes into account the needs of the various stakeholders for a transformative learning. A learning that helps future social workers to become critically reflective in acting, flexible in getting into new situations and able to innovate by being agents of change
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
