Education and Literacy Impact of Excellence Quality Management on Innovative Organizations in Basic Schools under Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, Thailand
Get PDFThe objectives of this study were to study (i) the excellence in quality management of basic schools in the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, (ii) the innovative organization of basic schools at the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, and (iii) the excellence in quality management affecting the innovative organization of primary schools under the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The study involved 240 participants, encompassing administrators, heads of learning groups, and teachers. The research instrument utilized was a questionnaire, and statistical analyses such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the collected data. Findings reveal significant insights: The study highlights a high level of practice in excellent quality management in basic schools, ranking in descending order as follows: student and stakeholder focus, performance results, strategic planning, faculty, and staff focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, process management, and leadership. The innovative organization of basic schools encourages high-level ranking in descending order: key individual, appropriate organizational structure, creative raising climate, effective teamwork, long-term stability, boundary spanning and learning exchange, high-involvement innovation, shared vision, and intention to create innovation. The study excellence quality management five variables: performance results, leadership strategic planning, process management staff focus that affected the innovation organization of primary schools under the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization, totaling 84.70 percent, written as a regression analysis equation as follows Ytot= 0.080 + 0.269X7 +0.091X1 + 0.231X6 + 0.164X2 + 0.133X5
The Implementation Policy in Increasing Vocational Students Enrollment of Pak Tho Industrial and Community Education College, Thailand
Get PDFThe objectives of this research were 1) to study the performance of the implementation policy according to the opinions of teachers, committee members, and administrators, 2) to examine the implementation policy satisfaction according to the opinions of students and parents, and 3) to explain the factors in the success of the implementation policy in increasing vocational students’ enrollment of Pak Tho Industrial and Community Education College, Thailand. The sample consisted of 3 experts for interviews; 23 participants, including teachers, committee members, and administrators; and 449 students and parents for questionnaires. The research instruments possessed an IOC (Index of Item-Objective Congruence) value between .67 and 1.00, and a reliability value of .91 and an interview form. Data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The research showed that the performance of the implementation policy according to the opinions of teachers, committee members, and administrators was at the highest level. The highest mean was disposition of implementers, followed by characteristics of implementing agencies, and economic, social, and political conditions. The lowest mean was policy resources, yet still at a high level. Also, it was found that the implementation policy satisfaction according to the opinions of students and parents was at the highest level, in overall and particular aspects. The highest mean was economic, social, and political conditions, followed by the disposition of implementers. The lowest mean was policy resources. The factors in the success of the implementation policy in increasing vocational students enrollment concerned policy guidelines and goals and their understanding by all stakeholders; resource control (strategic planning, personal involvement, adaptive leadership, and external collaboration); organizational features and implementers’ disposition (flexible organizational structure, shared leadership, and collaborative culture); and extra techniques and transparency suggestions (the use of supplementary strategies, such as community outreach, role models, flexible learning pathways, and localized planning)
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
