COMPARING SECONDARY SCHOOL ARTS CURRICULUM BETWEEN SLOVENIA AND ONTARIO CANADA
Get PDFTema diplomske naloge je primerjava slovenskega učnega načrta z ontarijskim učnim načrtom. V diplomski nalogi poskušamo poiskati razlike in podobnosti med izbranima učnima načrtoma. Vsebino raziskovalnega vprašanja predstavljamo v petih poglavjih diplomske naloge. S kratkim pregledom srednješolskega izobraževanja v Sloveniji ter podrobnejšim opisom vzgojno izobraževalnega sistema v Kanadi opravimo interpretacijo obeh učnih načrtov. V nadaljevanju povzamemo in analiziramo ontarijski učni načrt in kot dopolnilo k diplomskemu delu podamo primer iz prakse ene izmed ontarijskih srednjih šol. V zaključku potrdimo oziroma zavrnemo tri hipoteze. Naloga prinaša ugotovitve, da se kanadski vzgojno izobraževalni sistem precej razlikuje od slovenskega, da v provinci Ontario v Kanadi posegajo po drugačnih strategijah učenja umetnosti kot v Sloveniji in da je posamezne segmente ontarijskega učnega načrta nemogoče prenesti v naš učni sistem.The purpose of this thesis is a comparison between the Slovenian Art Curriculum and the Art Curriculum of the Province Ontario. In this final thesis the author tries to find the differences and similarities between chosen curriculums. The research questions are presented in five chapters of the thesis. With the short overview of the secondary education in Slovenia and a closer look of the educational system in Canada the author makes an interpretation of both curriculums. Later on there is a summary and analysis of the Ontario Art Curriculum and as a fulfillment to the final thesis the author adds a practical example of one of the High Schools in Ontario. In conclusion the author confirms or rejects the three hypotheses, which stated that the Canadian educational system differs significantly from the Slovenian one, that in the province of Ontario, Canada teachers use different teaching strategies than in Slovenia and that it is impossible to transfer individual segments of the Ontario curriculum into our educational system
Establishing a Youth Council in a Local Art Gallery or Art Museum
Get PDFThis Major Research Paper focused on the need for youth arts councils in the Niagara Region. Participation in youth councils offers adolescents a wealth of enriching experiences that can alter both their worldview as well as their understanding of themselves. On a youth arts council, adolescents can discover a new world of art and its cultural value. They can express themselves through their own art while sharing the experience with other teenagers who are doing the same. They can connect with these like-minded teens as they achieve personal goals and contribute to the welfare of the community. Therefore, in an era in which people are concerned about teens’ over-reliance on mobile devices and other so-called screen addictions, getting adolescents off of the couch or cell phone and onto a more participatory, productive path is important. This study illustrates how Niagara’s art galleries and art museums are cultural and historical ambassadors that can and must play a major role in helping students connect possibilities with engaging purpose while having fun
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
