    Hensikt: Tema for denne mastergradsoppgåva er motivasjonsklima i kroppsøving. Hensikta med oppgåva har vært å få auka innsikt og forståing for ungdomskuleelevars oppleving av motivasjonsklima i kroppsøving. Det har blitt sett på forskjellar i opplevd motivasjonsklima mellom aktive- og ikkje aktive elevar, samt i kva grad det er korrelasjon mellom ungdomskuleelevars oppleving av meistrings- og prestasjonsklima. Teori: Det er tatt utgangspunkt i målperspektivteorien (Achievement Goal Theory, AGT). Metode: Det har blitt nytta kvantitativ metode og digitalt spørjeskjema med lukka svaralternativ. Datainnsamlinga vart gjennomført ved månadsskifte januar og februar i 2023 på ungdomskuleelevar (N=142) ved to skular i stavangerområdet der underteikna var tilstades. Analysen vart gjennomført i IBM SPSS 28. Normalitetstesten ga restriksjonar om å nytte seg av Pearson r korrelasjonsanalyse og Independent samples test. Resultat: Resultata viste at det var ein svak negativ korrelasjon mellom oppleving av prestasjons- og meistringsorientert klima i kroppsøving. I tillegg var det ein signifikant forskjell mellom dei aktive- og ikkje aktive elevane på fritida når det kom til oppleving av meistringsorientert klima. Det vart ikkje funnen signifikant forskjell mellom dei aktive- og ikkje aktive elevane når det gjaldt prestasjonsorientert klima. Dei ikkje aktive elevane scorar i gjennomsnitt litt lågare under oppleving av prestasjonsorientert klima og enda lågare score under opplevinga av meistringsorientert klima. Det var ei viss spreiing i svara som gav indikasjon på noko ulik oppleving av motivasjonsklima. Oppsummering: Gjennomgåande fokus frå kroppsøvingslærarane på dimensjonane i TARGET-rammeverket kan på sikt føre til eit meistringsorientert klima, dersom ein nyttar desse på ein hensiktsmessig måte. Ein kombinasjon av meistrings- og prestasjonsmål kan i enkelte tilfelle verke positivt for nokre elevar. Gjennomtenkt bruk av konkurranseaktivitetar kan stå fram som positivt for å vedlikehalde den ytre autonome motivasjonen. Ein må ha kompetente og utviklingsvillige kroppsøvingslærarar som unngår at dei små tilfeldigheitene som potensielt kan fremje eit prestasjonsklima oppstår. Nøkkelord: kroppsøving, prestasjonsklima, meistringsklima, TARGETPurpose: The topic of this master's thesis is motivational climate in physical education. The purpose of the assignment has been to gain more insight and understanding into junior high school students' experience of the motivational climate in physical education. Differences in the perceived motivational climate between active and non-active pupils have been looked at, as well as the extent to which there is a correlation between secondary school pupils' experience of a mastery and achievement climate. Theory: The point of departure is the achievement goal theory (AGT). Method: A quantitative method and a digital questionnaire with closed answer options have been used. The data collection was carried out at the turn of the month in January and February in 2023 on secondary school pupils (N=142) at two schools in the Stavanger area where the undersigned were present. The analysis was carried out in IBM SPSS 28. The normality test gave restrictions on using the Pearson r correlation analysis and the Independent samples test. Result: The results showed that there was a weak negative correlation between the experience of a performance- and mastery-oriented climate in physical education. In addition, there was a significant difference between the active and non-active pupils during their free time when it came to experiencing a mastery-oriented climate. No significant difference was found between the active and inactive pupils when it came to performance-oriented climate. The inactive pupils score slightly lower on average when experiencing a performance-oriented climate and even lower scores when experiencing a mastery-oriented climate. There was a certain spread in the answers, which gave an indication of somewhat different experiences of the motivational climate. Summary: A comprehensive focus by physical education teachers on the dimensions of the TARGET framework can eventually lead to a mastery-oriented climate, if these are used in an appropriate way. A combination of mastery and performance goals can in some cases work positively for some pupils. Thoughtful use of competitive activities can be seen as positive for maintaining the external autonomous motivation. You must have competent and development-minded physical education teachers who avoid the small coincidences that can potentially promote a performance climate from occurring.

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
