Nido e famiglia: l'incontro tra culture educative.
No full textThe nursery is the first social place, where parents share the growth of their children with other professionists, and in an early age of the child, full of gestures of care. Fathers and mothers, who come together with their son in this service, bring the experiences before and after access to parenting with them, the type of investment on children, the conditions in which their parenting takes shape; in essence, an educational culture and a specific parental knowledge, plural and multifaceted, potentially fruitful.
The author presents the space of the nursery as a relational place, capable of combining different worlds: that one of the children, but also the adults' one. For the pedagogical discourse is most appropriate to consider the problematic nature and complexity, but also the richness of different educational cultures that adults have. Exploring the educational value of such a meeting, the contribution provides significant tips to bring out intentionality in adult education, but also to make education more effective with and for children
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Guidance and formation for educational innovation
No full textThe object of this contribution is that of proposing to sustain a pedagogical approach on the theme of guidance, according to which guiding towards a training and professional choice is the equivalent of educating, in other words, according to this prospective, education is an intentional and complex process which in itself expresses inherent prerogative guidance. Such a prerogative is expressed in the activation of reflective strategies aimed at the fundamental objective of providing the individual with skills to access to reality through awareness of one's own responsibility in self construction and one's own culture, and to appear therefore appropriate in sustaining and guiding the individual along the plural and complex paths which, in this contemporary epoch, delineate the individuals' biography: education in its fundamental meaning, has the purpose of motivating towards self research in the construction of a path of growth and education which orients experience, that is generating a capability of choice as a function of a life plan which emerges as a competence of self guidance
