Aceptación de la violencia de género en docentes de escuelas públicas
Get PDFGender-Based Violence (GBV) is a problem in education and health systems across Latin America. The Dominican Republic consistently shows high rates across several types of GBV. Due to the aforementioned reasons, this study explores how the acceptance of three types of GBV impacts the beliefs of primary school teachers regarding the abilities of girls and boys in different academic disciplines. The subjects are Reading and Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Physical Education. In the Dominican Republic, the response to GBV is typically reactive to specific events of victimization. There is little local data on the cognitions and attitudinal barriers to violence prevention that allow scientists to identify change and preventive school-based programs. Through a prospective, cross-sectional, correlational study design, we found that teachers generally accept myths or stereotypes about GBV generally blaming women for their victimization. Similarly, they accept stereotypes about academic skills based on the female or male gender, especially for Mathematics, for which the model explained 12% of the variance. This study indicates that the educational environment not only replicates social inequalities, but that these biases also impact the assessments students receive form their teachers.Por esta razón, este estudio exploró cómo la aceptación de tres dimensiones de la VG impacta las creencias de docentes de primaria con relación a las habilidades de niñas y niños en distintas asignaturas escolares. Las asignaturas escolares fueron Lectura y Escritura, Matemáticas, Ciencias y Deportes. En República Dominicana la respuesta ante la VG suele ser asistencial y reactiva a un suceso. Existe poca evidencia local sobre cogniciones y barreras actitudinales hacia la prevención de la violencia que permitan identificar cambios y acciones preventivas en la escuela. A través de un estudio con un diseño prospectivo, transversal y correlacional se evaluó el impacto de la aceptación de mitos de la VG en el ámbito escolar. Encontramos que los docentes por lo general aceptan mitos sobre las distintas formas de violencia de género, generalmente culpabilizando a las mujeres por su victimización. De igual manera aceptan estereotipos sobre habilidades académicas en función del género femenino o masculino, especialmente para las matemáticas, para la cual el modelo utilizado explicó un 12% de la varianza. Este estudio señala que el entorno educativo no solo replica desigualdades sociales, sino que, además, estos sesgos impactan las valoraciones que reciben los estudiantes por parte de sus docentes
Efectos de una intervención en lectura y escritura en las demás áreas del contenido: evidencias desde la prueba diagnóstica de sexto en la República Dominicana
No full textTeniendo en cuenta los retos de comprensión lectora de los estudiantes de la República Dominicana se investigó si los efectos de una intervención en lectura y escritura en el primario pueden ser detectados a través de la prueba diagnóstica de sexto grado, realizada cada tres años en el país. El estudio explora la transferencia de estos efectos a otras áreas temáticas que contempla la prueba diagnóstica (matemáticas, estudios sociales, y ciencias naturales). Se obtuvieron las bases de datos de la prueba diagnóstica de los estudiantes de sexto grado de 200 escuelas aleatoriamente asignadas a recibir la intervención en el 2015, y la de 200 escuelas aleatoriamente asignadas como grupo de comparación. Se compararon los datos de ambos grupos, y se encontró que los estudiantes de escuelas que recibieron la intervención obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente mejores que los estudiantes del grupo de comparación en Comprensión lectora y Matemáticas
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 evaluación de la investigación en República Dominicana: perspectiva de los actores del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación
No full textThe National System of Science and Technology In-dicators of the Dominican Republic is at an advanced stage of design and will soon be implemented. This system will facilitate the systematic monitoring of dif-ferent dimensions of the country's scientific and tech-nological performance. As part of the research project entitled "Baseline Study for the Implementation of the National System of Science and Technology Indicators of the Dominican Republic", a focus group was carried out to assess the experiences, perceptions and opinions of different stakeholders of the national science and technology ecosystem on the scientometric indicators and the processes of evaluating research and innova-tion. The results highlight managers' and researchers' assessments of current evaluation models, policies and systems, as well as the methods and instruments they use in their evaluation practice. This article presents a detailed analysis of the focus group results and their implications.El Sistema Nacional de Indicadores de Ciencia y Tecno-logía de la República Dominicana se encuentra en una etapa avanzada de diseño y próximo a implementarse. Este sistema facilitará el monitoreo sistemático de distintas dimensiones del desempeño científico y tecnológico del país. En el marco del proyecto de investigación titulado «Estudio de línea base para la implementación del Sistema Nacional de Indicadores de Ciencia y Tecnología de la República Dominicana», se llevó a cabo un grupo focal con el propósito de evaluar las experiencias, percepciones y opiniones de diversos actores del ecosistema nacional de ciencia y tecnología sobre los indicadores cienciométricos y los procesos de evaluación de la investigación y la inno-vación. Los resultados ponen de relieve las valoraciones de gestores e investigadores acerca de los modelos, políticas y sistemas de evaluación vigentes, así como los métodos e instrumentos que utilizan en la práctica evaluativa.

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
