ICT as a support tool in the process of teaching English as a foreign language
Get PDFEl presente artículo presenta un análisis cuantitativo que permite sacar conclusiones sobre las respuestas dadas por 24 docentes a un cuestionario que permite analizar la relación entre el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación y la asignatura de inglés. El estudio analiza factores como la edad y el sexo en cuanto a la predisposición al uso de las TIC como recurso para la enseñanza del inglés como segundo idioma. Los resultados han sido analizados mediante el uso del programa de análisis de datos SPSS.This article shows a quantitative analysis that allows us to make a conclusion about the answers given by a group of 24 teachers in a survey which was orientated to analyze the relationship between information and communication technologies and the subject of English as a foreign language. This study analyzes factors such as the age or the sex to determinate the preference of using ICT as a tool for teaching English as a foreign language. The answers have been processed and analyzed with the program SPSS designed for the analysis of data
Use of video as a tool to support the learning-teaching process of English as second language
Get PDFLa propuesta de esta investigación, enmarcada en la necesidad de apoyar el aprendizaje significativo del inglés en el uso de las TIC, consiste en un estudio de caso que pretende probar la eficacia del uso del vídeo en el aula para asimilar los nuevos contenidos de gramática explicados en clase. Vivimos en la era digital, en las escuelas nos encontramos con actores del proceso de E-A ya bautizados con el nombre de “nativos digitales”, los que se caracterizan por haber nacido en un entorno en el que las nuevas tecnologías forman parte de su día a día.This research is framed in the necessity to support the long-life learning of English as a second foreign language with the use of ICT`s. The idea of this proposal is a studio case which consists of testing the effectiveness of the use of videos in the class to learn and understand the new grammatical contents presented and explained in class. We live in the Digital era wherein the school we find students already known as “digital natives”, characterized to be born within a society in which new technologies are part of their lives
Case study for the implantation of a personal learning environment in high education
Get PDFEl presente caso refleja mi idea sobre como visualizo la educación superior del futuro. Estudio del caso de la educación superior como entorno personal de aprendizaje. Esta propuesta esta basada en los PLE (personal learning environment) o entornes flexibles de aprendizaje. PLE es un concepto que se utiliza para hacer referencia al uso de todas las herramientas, materiales y contenidos que tenemos a nuestra disposición principalmente a través de internet para crear nuestro propio espacio de aprendizaje autónomo.This study is a personal reflection about how I see the education in high levels in the future. Study case of high education as a personal learning environment. This proposal is based on the named PLE (personal learning environment) or flexible spaces of personal learning. PLE is a concept which makes reference to the use of all the tools, materials and contents easily achievable through the use of the internet, it allows us to create our personal environment of autonomous learning

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
