How is the physical education profession doing? : A qualitative study on how the status of the profession is portrayed in newspapers from 2013- 2023
No full textSyfte och frågeställningar Syftet med studien är att undersöka idrottsläraryrkets status utifrån dess framställning i svensk dagspress. Utgångspunkten grundar sig i följande frågeställningar: 1) Hur framställs idrottsläraryrkets funktioner i svenska dagstidningar?, 2) Vilka positiva och negativa konnotationer knyts till idrottsläraryrket?, 3) Vilka förändringar av idrottsläraryrket och dess status framträder i materialet över tid? Teori och metod Uppsatsen skrevs utifrån en kvalitativ, diskursanalytisk metod varvid 65 artiklar ur blandade svenska tidningar selekterades ut som empiri. Till grund för metoden togs Peter Svenssons (2019) femstegs-modell i beaktning för att i slutändan kunna lokalisera kategorier och teman som konstrueras av de funna attributens regelbundna och gemensamma drag i empirin. Resultat I resultatet framkom fyra övergripande diskurser och fem underdiskurser som på olika sätt visar idrottsläraryrkets funktioner och hur dessa kan påverka yrkets status. Kopplat till idrottsläraryrkets funktioner framkom diskursen om hälsofrämjaren med två övergripande uppgifter – främja ett livslångt aktivt liv för eleverna samt hjälpa eleverna att prestera och få bättre betyg i skolan. Kopplat till yrkets status framkom diskurser om yrket som ett viktigt och givande yrke, en negativ arbetsmiljö med diverse underdiskurser samt hur ämnet marginaliseras, bland annat i relation till övriga ämnen. Främst framkom negativa attribut i relation till yrkets status. Förändringar över tid tyder på att elevers kondition har blivit sämre vilket kan påverka idrottsläraryrket, likväl som att idrottslärarnas auktoritet har försämrats i lektionssammanhang och att lönerna har blivit sämre. Det har också skett en förflyttning i lektionsinnehållets fokus från tävling och prestation till hälsa och välbefinnande. Slutsats Som slutsats kan dras att tidningar har en påverkan på vad som når ut till samhällets befolkning, likväl som att idrottslärarna har en påverkan på hur yrkets status framställs genom vad de väljer att delge i artiklar och intervjuer. I konstruktionen av yrkets status har både positiva och negativa framställningar förekommit, vilka påverkar yrkets status.Aim and research questions The study aimed to investigate how the profession of physical education teaching is portrayed in newspapers and its subsequent influence on the status of the profession. The research questions were: 1) How are the functions of the physical education teaching profession portrayed in Swedish newspapers?, 2) What positive and negative connotations are associated with the physical education teaching profession?, 3)What changes in the profession of physical education teacher and its status emerge in the material over time? Theory and method The paper employed a qualitative, discourse-analytical method, selecting 65 articles from various Swedish newspapers as empirical material. The methodology was based on Peter Svensson's (2019) five-step model, aiming to identify categories and themes constructed by the regular and common features of the found attributes in the empirical data. Results Four main discourses and five sub-discourses emerged, illuminating the functions of the physical education teaching profession and its impact on professional status. Linked to the profession's functions, a discourse on health promotion highlighted tasks such as fostering students' lifelong physical activity and aiding academic performance. Regarding professional status, discourses covered the profession's importance and rewards, a negative work environment, and the subject's marginalization compared to others. Negative attributes, especially regarding professional status, were prominent. Changes over time indicated declining student fitness affecting the profession, reduced teacher authority, and lower salaries. A shift from competition to a greater focus on health in teaching was also observed. Conclusion In summary, newspaper articles and teachers' communication through them influence how society perceives the physical education teaching profession. The results also suggest a connection between the content of newspaper articles, public interest, and the historical context and its events. The construction of professional status has involved both positive and negative representations which can influence the status of the profession
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
