Azioni per la rilevazione e l’analisi delle pratiche inclusive, agentive e compartecipate. Lo strumento RiPIAC
No full textThe paper offers reflections on the survey and analysis of inclusive, agentive and participatory practices at school. In this sense, the RiPIAC tool is presented, which was developed and tested within the framework of the doctoral research Figure system mediators crucial to inclusive processes at school. The aim of the tool is to further implement, in the scientific and scholastic community, the range of tools capable of investigating, in the perspective of self-analysis, the inclusive processes in the context of the elaboration of self-evaluation and self-improvement procedures that school institutions are called upon to carry out. Specifically, the RiPIAC can be used to explore and analyse, from an inclusive perspective, the agency (Calvert, 2016) and co-participation of school leaders and teachers with the aim of improving inclusive culture, practices and policies against the background of the social model developed by Tony Booth and Mel Ainscow (Booth & Ainscow, 2014) and the professional development and learning processes
Approcci pedagogici di co-evoluzione nella crisi: Le potenzialità della ricerca educativa e formativa in intercampi ad elevata complessità
Full text linkThe Era of Great Uncertainties (Morin, 2020) with which humanity has to deal with today requires competences to stay in the changing flow of the crisis that allows us to generate knowledge useful to orient thoughts and actions. In this contribution, the authors propose four pedagogical approaches that refer, respectively, to the pedagogical category of irony, to the theoretical construct of systemic reflexivity and to the themes of sustainability and agency. These approaches are analysed with reference to specific educational and training contexts of high complexity, the school and the social educational work. Common to these approaches is the pursuit of a difficult and mobile balance between individual and contextual aspects, between conservative and innovative instances, between times and rhythms of change and between micro, meso and macro levels of the systems involved.L’epoca di grandi incertezze (Morin, 2020) con la quale oggi l’umanità si deve misurare, richiede una competenza a stare nel flusso mutevole della crisi che permetta di generare al tempo stesso conoscenza utile a orientare pensieri e azioni. In questo contributo le autrici propongono quattro approcci pedagogici che si riferiscono, rispettivamente, alla categoria pedagogica dell’ironia, al costrutto teorico della riflessività sistemica e ai temi della sostenibilità e dell’agentività. Tali approcci vengono analizzati in riferimento a contesti educativi e formativi specifici ad elevata complessità, quello scola stico e quello relativo al lavoro educativo sociale. Elemento comune a tali approcci è la ricerca di un difficile e mobile equilibrio tra aspetti individuali e contestuali, tra istanze conservative e istanze innovative, tra tempi e ritmi del cambiamento e tra livelli micro, meso e macro dei sistemi coinvolti
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
