Problem of the axiological principles of application of information and communication technologies in the transition to a new educational paradigm
No full textArtykuł rozważa aksjologiczne zasady zastosowania technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych w przejściu do nowego paradygmatu edukacyjnego. Stwierdzono teoretycznie, że technologie informacyjnokomunikacyjne są dziś niezbędnym, zasadniczym elementem procesu kształcenia, który w rezultacie tworzy nie tylko przestrzeń edukacyjną jako całość, ale co ważne, osobowość przyszłego specjalisty. Wyniki wskazują, że komputerowe technologie informacyjno-komunikacyjne we współczesnym dyskursie naukowym oznaczają m.in. komunikatywne środowisko edukacyjne oraz narzędzie interakcji zawodowej, które pozwala poszerzyć przestrzeń profesjonalnej komunikacji, wyposażyć ludzi w nowe możliwości zrozumienia, oceny i postrzegania świata. Autorki określają i opisują komponent treściowy pola funkcjonalnego materiałów medialnych w odniesieniu do zadań edukacyjnych procesu rozwijania twórczej osobowości nauczyciela. Dowiedziono, że zapewnienie wysokiego poziomu efektywności wykorzystania technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych jest możliwe dzięki wyważonemu wprowadzeniu aksjologicznych zasad doboru treści medialnych w procesie kształcenia zawodowego przyszłych nauczycieli.The article considers the axiological principles of the application of information and communication technologies in the transition to a new educational paradigm. It has been theoretically acknowledged that information and communication technologies today are a necessary leading component of the educational process, which, as a result, forms not only the educational space as a whole, but, importantly, the personality of the future specialist. The findings reveal that information and communication technologies in modern scientific discourse are understood, inter alia, as a communicative educational environment and a means of professional interaction that allows to expand the professional communication space. They provide people with new opportunities to comprehend, evaluate and perceive the world. The authors specify and describe the content component of the functional field of media content materials in relation to the educational tasks of the process of developing a creatively active personality of a teacher. It is proved that a high level of efficiency in the use of information and communication technologies may be ensured through the balanced introduction of axiological principles of media content selection in the process of professional training of future educators
Adult Educators’ Approaches to the Educational Process and the Expected Results. Introspection Reconstructed in the Phenomenographic Research
Get PDFThe paper’s topic refers to phenomenographic research with the participation of adult educators. The paper reflects educators’ concepts regarding expected learning outcomes or the learning process. These individual concepts were identified based on reconstructions of adult educators’ experiences. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the variety of approaches which educators apply in the educational process and the learning outcomes that adult learners are expected to achieve – according to the educators’ assumptions. Reference to selected theoretical models included in the paper allows looking at the theoretical context
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
Religious Organizations in Belarus during Protests against the Regime of Aleksandr Lukashenko
Get PDFAfter the presidential election in Belarus on August 9, 2020, which according to the official data, was won by the then President Alexander Lukashenko, mass protests against falsifications began in the country. Believers of various denominations joined these actions. Therefore, the leadership of the country’s religious organizations were faced with the question of determining their attitude toward these actions. The leadership of the largest religious organization in Belarus, the Belarusian Orthodox Church, initially expressed some dissatisfaction with the authorities’ violence. The then exarch of this church, Pavlo, despite congratulating Lukashenko on his election victory, still expressed some sympathy to the protesters. However, after the change of the head of this church, which was carried out on August 25 by the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church (part of which is the Belarusian Orthodox Church), the situation changed. The new exarch of Belarus, Benjamin, met with Lukashenko and showed a positive attitude towards his regime, although many Orthodox believers and even the priesthood supported the protesters. However, the leadership of the Catholic Church in Belarus condemned the violence of the authorities, upon which the authorities started putting pressure on the Catholic Church. They have isolated its head, Metropolitan Tadevush Kandrusevich, by not allowing him to re-enter the territory of the Republic of Belarus. As for Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Old Believers, and other religious organizations that do not have much influence in Belarusian society, their leaders try to distance themselves from political issues without explicitly supporting either side. However, some members of these denominations, including clergy, participated in the protests

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
