    With the elaboration of this work we sought to analyze the importance of the practical classes in the teaching of Microbiology in the Middle Level, Because it is a didactic tool little explored, the practical classes become fundamental for learning. For this, a bibliographicaltype research was carried out, selecting references related to the study topic. The work was divided into three main topics: The first deals with a brief history about Microbiology and the object of study of microbiology. The second topic analyzes the Microbiology in High School showing how they are developed in Biology teaching, signaling the amount of weekly classes and how the teacher administers the theoretical and practical approaches Giving sequence with a summary of the modalities of practical activities and how each one is configured according to the method of elaboration. The third point presents a didactic sequence, approaching the Science-Technology-Society (CTS) perspective and its relevance in the school environment with the presentation of three practical examples, Aiming to work the skills and abilities of the students so that they can transpose the knowledge acquired in their daily life: Learning about viruses through the construction of a model; Bacteria in our everyday life; On the way there was a fungus.Com a elaboração desse trabalho buscou-se analisar a importância das aulas práticas no ensino da Microbiologia no Nível Médio, pois, por ser uma ferramenta didática pouco explorada, as aulas práticas se tornam fundamentais para a aprendizagem. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa do tipo abordagem bibliográfica, selecionando-se referências relacionadas ao tema de estudo. O trabalho foi dividido em três tópicos principais: O primeiro aborda um breve histórico sobre a Microbiologia e o objeto de estudo da mesma, que são os micro-organismos. Já o segundo tópico analisa a Microbiologia no Ensino Médio retratando como são desenvolvidos seus conteúdos no ensino da Biologia, sinalizando a quantidade de aulas semanais e a forma como o professor administra as abordagens teóricas e práticas, dando seqüência com um resumo das modalidades de atividades práticas e como cada uma se configura de acordo com o método de elaboração. No terceiro ponto é apresentada uma seqüência didática, abordando a perspectiva Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade (CTS) e sua relevância no ambiente escolar com a apresentação de três exemplos práticos, objetivando trabalhar as competências e habilidades dos alunos para que esses consigam transpor os conhecimentos adquiridos em seu cotidiano: Aprendendo sobre vírus por meio da construção de um modelo; As bactérias em nosso cotidiano; No caminho tinha um fungo

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    A importância das aulas de campo como estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem/ The importance of field classes as a teaching-learning strategy

    Este trabalho tem como foco uma revisão de literatura, buscando elucidar a importância das aulas de campo para aprimorar os conhecimentos dos educandos em diferentes processos de formação, aproximando os mesmos de forma concreta do que só é visto de maneira abstrata em: aulas teóricas, livros didáticos e mídias sociais, e dessa forma oportunizando a descoberta de outros ambientes. Consistindo em um contato direto com o objeto em estudo, incluindo diversas atividades, exemplos: observações, registros de imagens, gravações de vídeos, de áudios, interação entre o grupo e a interdisciplinaridade. Em uma aula de campo pode se abordar uma diversidade de conteúdos que poderão estar relacionados com várias outras áreas de conhecimento: geografia, biologia, história, dentre outras. O objetivo principal é abordar a grande relevância que o professor exerce realizando esse feedback entre aulas teóricas e aulas vivenciadas,  esse tipo de metodologia é bastante utilizada na atualidade,  favorecendo a consolidação dos conhecimentos; pois o processo de ensino -aprendizagem vai muito além de um aula teórica. Sendo este um processo instrutivo e educativo corroborando na formação do educando, não em parte, mas por completo. Diante disso a aula fora do ambiente escolar vai aguçar a curiosidade dos alunos, contribuindo a ter um olhar muito mais crítico-reflexivo, criando estratégias para a resolução de problemas que se apresentar em seu cotidiano, isso só será possível se o cidadão for formado mediante a um processo dinâmico e lógico que facilite o seu entendimento do mundo impalpável. Portanto, a formação vivenciada busca colocar em prática os saberes adquiridos teoricamente ao longo dos anos. Tornando evidente que o investimento por parte dos docentes em atividades com metodologias que visem atentar para o desejo de descoberta dos alunos e suas perspectivas facilitará a construção de conceitos que possivelmente estes levarão por toda a sua vida
