No full textPertinencia científica de los diseños curriculares para la formación de los docentes
No full textThis work studies the scientific pertinence of curricular designs for teachers’ education. Theoretically, this study corresponds to the aspects and strategies proposed by the Nucleus of Academic Vice-rectors and the National Curriculum Commission (1997) for analyzing the principle of pertinence and social commitment, specifically for scientific pertinence. This descriptive, field investigation is oriented toward comparative case studies and includes the five schools of education at independent universities, their curricula and the actors who manage them. The investigative model belongs to comparative case studies. The sample consisted of five (5) curricular designs with their majors and degree courses (41 degree courses) and twelve (12) key actors. Analysis of the aspects by school of education and by university shows that ULA, UCV and LUZ have a low pertinence reaching 50% each, and UDO and UC have a very low scientific pertinence, located at 100% and 50%, respectively. Analysis of degree courses by university indicates, in relation to strategies guiding the interrelation between curriculum and research in undergraduate education, that in general, curricular designs evidence a very low scientific pertinence because in the majority of the documents there is only a slight presence of indicators that identify some of the more adequate types of pertinence.En este trabajo se estudia la pertinencia científica de los diseños curriculares para la formación de los docentes. Teóricamente se corresponde con los aspectos y estrategias planteados por el Núcleo de Vicerrectores Académicos y la Comisión Nacional de Currículo (1997) para el análisis del principio de pertinencia y compromiso social, específicamente para la pertinencia científica. La investigación de carácter descriptiva y de campo se orienta hacia el estudio comparativo de casos, abarca las cinco Escuelas de Educación de las universidades autónomas sus currículos y los actores que los gerencian. El modelo investigativo se inscribe en el estudio comparativo de casos. La muestra quedó constituida por cinco (5) diseños curriculares con sus menciones y carreras (41 carreras) y doce (12) actores clave. El análisis de los aspectos por Escuela de Educación y por universidad informa que la ULA, UCV, y LUZ tienen una pertinencia científica baja que alcanza 50% para cada una y la UDO y UC pertinencia muy baja que se ubica en el 100% y 50% respectivamente. El análisis de todas las carreras por universidad informa, en relación a las estrategias que orientan el logro de la interrelación currí- culo investigación en la formación de pregrado, que los diseños curriculares muestran en general una pertinencia científica muy baja, porque en la mayoría de los documentos hay escasa presencia de los indicadores considerados que permitan identificar algún tipo más adecuado de pertinenci
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
