Aceitação de tecnologia por estudantes surdos na perspectiva da educação inclusiva
Get PDFTeseCom a Política Nacional de Educação Especial na perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva (2008), as escolas regulares vêm recebendo um número maior de estudantes surdos ou com deficiência auditiva (S/DA), que antes frequentavam escolas especializadas. No entanto, dados apontam a diminuição do número de estudantes S/DA matriculados no ensino fundamental para o ensino médio, e do ensino médio para o ensino superior; ou seja, existem razões para se acreditar que barreiras educacionais se impõem no caminho desses estudantes para que conquistem uma formação educacional completa. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor um modelo de aceitação de tecnologias levando em consideração fatores que envolvam aspectos do contexto da educação inclusiva, bem como efetuar experimento da interação de usuários S/DA com uma tecnologia para avaliar o modelo. Dentre os fatores mencionados um deles se refere às potenciais barreiras educacionais vivenciadas pelos estudantes S/DA em salas de aula inclusivas. Com relação à metodologia de pesquisa, o estudo desenvolveu-se em ciclos. Na medida em que as investigações avançavam, um novo estudo iniciava, se desenvolvia e se fechava. Isso permitiu que a proposta inicial tivesse sucessivos refinamentos ao longo do tempo até o ponto em que os questionamentos iniciais foram respondidos e o objetivo foi atingido. O modelo proposto mostrou resultados positivos, no sentido de conseguir capturar os fatores que podem influenciar a aceitação de tecnologias considerando o contexto de aplicação específico, uma vez que estes incorporam os aspectos da qualidade pragmática e os aspectos da qualidade hedônica, questões relacionadas à utilidade percebida da minimização de potenciais barreiras educacionais, expectativas futuras, e condições facilitadoras. Conclui-se que o modelo engloba tanto a investigação sobre questões motivacionais pessoais dos usuários quanto a investigação de aspectos do contexto de uso, e que o modelo pode ser utilizado para a finalidade a qual foi proposto, a avaliação de aceitação de tecnologias em ambientes de educação incluvisa
Technology Acceptance for deaf students in the perspective of inclusive education

However, data point to the declining number of D/HH students enrolled from primary school to high school, and from high school students to higher education; ie, there are reasons to believe that educational barriers are imposed on the way of these students to conquer a complete education. In this context, the goal of this work is to propose a technology acceptance model that takes into account factors that ivolve aspects of the inclusive education context, as well as performing experiment on the interaction of D/HH users with a technology to evaluate the model. Among the factors, one of them refers to the potential educational barriers experienced by D/HH students in inclusive classrooms. With regard to research methodology, the study was developed in cycles. To the extent that the investigations progressed, a new study began, was unfolded and closed. This allowed successive refinements over time to the point where the initial questions were answered and the goal was reached. The proposed model has shown positive results in capturing factors that influence technology acceptance given the domain specific context, since they incorporate aspects of pragmatic quality and hedonic quality, also issues related to perceived usefulness in minimizing potential educational barriers, future expectations, and facilitating conditions. We conclude that the model encompasses both users personal motivation and context of use aspects, and the model can be used for the purpose for which it was proposed, technology acceptance evaluation considering inclusive education contexts
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
