Performing
No full textThis chapter challenges the reader to explore their beliefs about the value and purpose of performing in the classroom and to compare them to young people’s experiences of performing within their local and global, cultural and familial, and online and offline communities. It begins by asking how young people engage with performing music in their everyday lives, emphasising the “participatory” cultures created by digital music technologies and by traditional, communal performance, in which artist-audience boundaries are blurred and inclusion is valued over expertise. It then compares these cultures to the “presentational” forms of performing that often typify the music classroom, which focus upon polished performances given in high-stakes settings. Finally, the chapter encourages the reader to reflect on how to integrate performance within the classroom to create accessible and collaborative musical communities. It offers vignettes demonstrating the use of individual performing, small-group performing, large-group performing, and whole-class singing to foster equitable and adaptive opportunities for meaningful teaching and learning
The place of music in the secondary school
No full textThis chapter contextualises the place of music in the secondary school within the historical and ideological development of general education. Beginning with an overview of the role of music education in classical antiquity and medieval thought, it traces the development of different instrumental, aesthetic, and praxial justifications for music’s value within the curriculum and the role of such arguments in music education advocacy. It pre-empts many of the challenges that beginning teachers may face in defending the importance of music education within the social and political contexts of secondary school education across the four nations of the United Kingdom and equips them to build robust arguments for teaching and learning music and its place in young people’s lives
Planning for musical learning
No full textThis chapter outlines three key principles underpinning effective lesson planning: recognising musical knowledge, immersive musical activities, and integrating musical experiences. It adopts a holistic perspective through partnering foundational philosophical standpoints with examples of practical approaches offered by teacher educators from across the United Kingdom, thereby equipping beginning teachers to plan lessons effectively and musically within their diverse local contexts. Finally, it presents a framework for lesson planning covering lesson overview and focus, prior learning, learning intentions and outcomes, musical tasks and activities, teaching and learning strategies, and assessment and evaluation
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
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
