    ATTENTION AND REFLECTIVITY IN P.E. TOWARDS GENDER EQUITY AT THE TIME OF COVID-19

    Full text link
    During the Covid-19 pandemic schools face a peculiar situation that forces the realization of a different education, a distance learning, that discriminates particularly Physical Education among other subjects. In this situation, since it is no longer possible to carry out the usual sport related content, Physical Education teachers have to face more transversal situations where good practices and a fair education towards gender can come to surface. The psychophenomenological contribution, also taking into consideration evidence appeared in literature (P. Vermersch 2019), underlines the importance of keeping up the focus of teachers towards social justice issues and specifically gender ones. From strategies of involvement of mixed classes, forced to body distance and to static postures in space, the Physical Education teacher can avoid the drift of attention to sexed bodies through reflective processes, mainly self-reported, and attention to gender relations

    Il genere e l’educazione fisica e le percezioni degli insegnanti: un’indagine esplorativa | Gender, physical education and the perception of teachers: an exploration

    La pandemia accentua nell’educazione fisica, nuovi interrogativi sul piano metodologico ed epistemologico- ontologico. Se la didattica deve rinunciare a contatti e vicinanze corporee, altri nodi centrali attendono di essere sciolti, come la discriminazione di genere. Il contributo presenta evidenze, emerse da ventotto insegnanti di educazione fisica, riferite al genere e alla consapevolezza che ne deriva. Tali evidenze devono fare i conti con orientamenti alla competitività e performance ereditati dallo sport, storicamente dominio maschile. L’educazione fisica, per il suo ruolo educativo, deve affrontare il problema del genere per delineare strategie proprie, originali, attuali. I dati del questionario, riguardo il genere, fanno emerge la necessità di attivare una formazione, degli/delle insegnanti, sul laboratorio riflessivo, da cui determinare criteri di orientamento didattico applicabili all’educazione fisica, anche in ragione della dimensione etica e politica dell’esperienza educativa o formativa universitaria.COVID-19 has accentuated new methodological and epistemological-ontological questions in Physical Education. It is not only a didactic problem but sits alongside other central important issues waiting to be resolved, such as gender discrimination. This contribution presents evidence, gathered from twenty-eight P.E. teachers, on the subject of gender and the awareness that derives from it. This evidence deals with the tendencies towards competitiveness and performance inherited from sport, historically a male domain. Physical Education, due to its educational role, must address the issue of gender, in order to outline original and up to date strategies. The gender-related data from the questionnaire demonstrate that for the didactic orientation criteria applicable to Physical Education to be determined, teacher training needs to be initiated in the reflective laboratory, allowing for the fact that professional experience gained in school or through university training does not explore these issues in depth

    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
