Caractéristiques et utilisation des photographies dans les cahiers d’apprentissage de géographie du premier cycle du secondaire au Québec
Get PDFDans les salles de classe de géographie, les photographies trouvent leur chemin jusqu’aux élèves entre autres grâce aux cahiers d’apprentissage. Nous analysons neuf chapitres provenant de cahiers d’apprentissage de géographie produits au Québec pour des élèves du 1er cycle du secondaire. Nous constatons que les photographies qui s’y trouvent aident les lecteurs à s’immerger dans les territoires qu’ils étudient, et cela au moyen de procédés photographiques alliant une grande quantité de détails à un cadrage subjectif. La plupart des photographies sont accompagnées d’une légende, laquelle permet d’identifier ce qui est représenté sur les photographies. Parfois, les photographies servent à capter l’attention des lecteurs afin qu’ils consultent cette légende parce que des informations pertinentes s’y trouvent. Dans ces cas, l’écrit reste préféré à l’image comme façon de transmettre de l’information. Près d’une photographie sur trois est liée à une activité d’apprentissage. Ces activités prennent plusieurs formes. Elles permettent partiellement de développer le raisonnement géographique : moins de la moitié d’entre elles sont associées à des opérations intellectuelles ; elles ne donnent pas l’occasion aux élèves de travailler avec plusieurs échelles spatiales et temporelles ; elles ne leur offrent pas la possibilité de mettre en oeuvre une démarche inductive. Lorsqu’il est demandé aux élèves de consulter une photographie pour réaliser une activité, la photographie n’est pas nécessaire dans plus de la moitié des cas.In geography classrooms, photographs find their way to students through learning workbooks. We analysed nine chapters from geography workbooks produced in Quebec for students in Cycle 1 of secondary school. We noted that the photographs help readers to immerse themselves in the territories they are studying, using photographic processes that combine a large amount of detail with subjective framing. Most of the photographs are accompanied by a caption, which helps to identify what is represented in the photographs. Sometimes the photographs are used to capture the reader's attention so that they consult the caption, which contains relevant information. In these cases, writing remains preferred over images as a way of conveying information. Besides, nearly one in three photographs is linked to a learning activity. These activities take several forms. They only partially develop geographical reasoning: less than half of the activities are associated with intellectual operations; the learning activities don’t afford students the occasion to work with several spatial and temporal scales; they also don’t give students the opportunity to apply an inductive approach. When students are asked to consult a photograph in order to complete an activity, the photograph is not necessary in more than half the cases
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
La situation de l’enseignement du domaine d’apprentissage de l’univers social au primaire dans la hiérarchisation des matières
Get PDFCe mémoire porte sur la situation du domaine d’apprentissage de l’univers social au primaire dans la hiérarchisation des matières. En effectuant une recherche de type qualitative dans une démarche descriptive, nous avons identifié des éléments qui influencent le statut de cette matière à l’aide des réponses qui ont émergé lors d’un questionnaire de pré-entretien, ainsi que d’un entretien semi-dirigé menés auprès de cinq enseignants au primaire. Ces données nous ont permis de faire ressortir les éléments d’influence suivants : la formation initiale, le développement professionnel et le sentiment de compétence; le curriculum formel et les ressources didactiques; ainsi que le temps et la prise de décision. Les résultats vont dans le même sens que la littérature existante au sujet de la situation de l’univers social dans la hiérarchisation des matières soit qu’elle se situe au centre ou au bas de celle-ci, puis qu’elle est considérée comme moins importante que le français et les mathématiques. En revanche, notre recherche permet d’apporter des nuances à la situation de l’univers social en classe parmi les autres matières à l’aide des éléments d’influence. Notre travail avance également que le concept de stratification des matières serait plus adéquat étant donné les éléments qui expliquent la situation de la discipline dans le curriculum réel, puis qu’un simple classement n’est pas assez pour expliquer cette situation. Finalement, quelques recommandations et pistes de recherche sont présentées afin d’améliorer la situation de l’univers social au primaire, puis de poursuivre le travail entamé.This thesis focuses on the situation of the social and human sciences in primary school in the subject matter hierarchy. By executing a qualitative research with a descriptive approach, we identified factors that influence the status of this subject through the responses that emerged during a pre-interview questionnaire and a semi-structured interview conducted with five primary school teachers. These data allowed us to highlight the following influencing factors: initial training, professional development and the feeling of competence; formal curriculum and didactic resources; as well as time and decision-making. The results
align with existing literature about the social and human sciences in the hierarchization of subjects, placing it either at the center or towards the bottom of the hierarchy, as this subject is considered less important than French (primary language) and mathematics. However, our research brings nuances to the situation of the social and human sciences in the
classroom with the help of the influencing factors. Our work also suggests that the concept of subjects stratification might be more appropriate given the elements explaining the subject’s situation in the reel curriculum. A simple ranking is insufficient to explain this situation. Finally, some recommendations and research avenues are presented to improve the situation of the social and human sciences in primary education and continue the work initiated
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
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
