Intercultural science: teaching chemical reactions in eight grade in dialogue with the knowledge of Misak community
Get PDFEs innegable que la diversidad cultural en Colombia es tan amplia como su biodiversidad, sin embargo, el conocimiento científico occidental epistemológicamente ha sido pensado y estructurado desde fundamentos eurocéntricos, invalidando la capacidad de reconocer el mundo que nos rodea desde otras subjetividades. En esta investigación se diseña e implementa un objeto virtual de aprendizaje (OVA) como estrategia didáctica con un enfoque intercultural, que integre y reconozca los saberes propios de la comunidad Misak del jardín botánico Las Delicias, con la enseñanza de las reacciones químicas en un grupo de estudiantes de grado octavo del colegio New Cambridge de Cali. Así mismo se analiza el grado de reconocimiento que los estudiantes muestran hacia estos saberes tras la experiencia de aprendizaje. Mediante una metodología cualitativa desde el enfoque de la etnografía escolar, se entrevista a una sabedora de la comunidad Misak, se diseña la estrategia didáctica y se implementa con el grupo focal. Se logra a través de la implementación del OVA integrar los saberes compartidos en la entrevista con la enseñanza de las reacciones químicas, conectando algunos elementos identitarios de la comunidad Misak con algunas reacciones como la combustión y las interacciones químicas entre mordientes y tintes naturales. La implementación del OVA proporcionó a los estudiantes la oportunidad de reconocer dichos saberes y generó interés por conocer más de la comunidad Misak, aunque desde una perspectiva intercultural que se relaciona de forma positiva, más no cuestiona la violencia epistémica ejercida por la ciencia moderna occidental. Es así como se evidencia que la enseñanza de la química con un enfoque intercultural se debe integrar con mayor recurrencia a los currículos con el fin de reconocer la diversidad de saberes, reduciendo la violencia epistémica y la discriminación en contextos escolares urbanos.Magíster en Educación Inclusiva e InterculturalMaestríaIt is undeniable that cultural diversity in Colombia is as broad as its biodiversity, however, Western scientific knowledge has epistemologically been thought and structured from Eurocentric foundations, invalidating the ability to recognize the world around us from other subjectivities. In this research a virtual learning object (VLO) is designed and implemented as a didactic strategy, with an intercultural approach that integrates and recognizes the knowledge of the Misak community of the botanical garden Las Delicias, with the teaching of chemical reactions in a group of eighth grade students at the New Cambridge school in Cali. The degree of recognition that students show towards this knowledge after the learning experience is analyzed. By means of a qualitative methodology from the school ethnography approach, a Misak community's teacher is interviewed, the didactic strategy is designed and implemented with the focal group. Through the implementation of the VLO, it is possible to integrate the knowledge shared in the interview with the teaching of chemical reactions, connecting some identity elements of the Misak community with some reactions such as combustion and chemical interactions between mordants and natural dyes. The implementation of the OVA provided students with the opportunity to recognize such knowledge and generated interest in learning more about the Misak community, although from an intercultural perspective that relates in a positive way but doesn’t question the epistemic violence exercised by modern Western science. Thus, it is evident that the teaching of chemistry with an intercultural approach must be integrated more frequently into the curricula to recognize the diversity of knowledge, reducing epistemic violence and discrimination in urban school contexts

No full textEl proyecto cultura del árbol tiene como objeto que la comunidad apropie conceptos, metodologías y estrategias pertinentes para la inclusión del árbol como alternativa para afrontar las problemáticas ambientales, a través de la construcción de conocimiento por medio de la experiencia y comprensión de la realidad ambiental, vista desde la comunidad, la academia, la ciencia y la tecnología. Actualmente el proyecto contempla dos convocatorias. La primera convocatoria correspondiente al año 2014, se desarrollo en el primer semestre de 2015 en el cual se realizo un seguimiento a los instrumentos pedagógicos propuestos y aplicados en las comunidades por las organizaciones vinculadas. La segunda convocatoria se encontraba en un proceso de evaluación a los proyectos presentados por las organizaciones interesadas en vincularse a Cultura del Árbol, los cuales son desarrollados en el segundo semestre de 2015. Ambas etapas del proyecto requirieron de apoyo en el ámbito pedagógico para una debida evaluación y retroalimentación de actividades presentadas por las organizaciones en cuanto a pertinencia y a que estas sean realizadas dentro de un marco de acción participativa.
Por tanto, este trabajo de pasantía estuvo enfocado a fortalecer y evaluar los diferentes procesos pedagógicos de las organizaciones en convenio con el Proyecto Cultura del Árbol. Teniendo en cuenta el trabajo que se realizó de seguimiento con las organizaciones vinculadas a la primera convocatoria, se realizo un análisis de la efectividad de estos procesos educativos en entornos rurales por medio de instrumentos de recolección de datos como encuestas, diario de campo y una actividad de evaluación.The Culture tree project is intended that the community appropriates concepts, methods and strategies relevant for the inclusion of the tree as an alternative to address environmental issues through building knowledge through experience and understanding of the environmental reality, view from the community, academia, science and technology. Currently the project includes two calls. The first call for the year 2014, was developed in the first half of 2015 in which the proposed monitoring was conducted educational tools and applied in communities by related organizations. The second call was in an evaluation process for projects submitted by organizations interested in establishing ties with Culture Tree Proyect, which are developed in the second half of 2015. Both phases of the project required support in the educational field for due evaluation and feedback activities presented by organizations for relevance as these are carried out within a framework of participatory action.
Therefore, this work internship was focused to strengthen and evaluate different pedagogical processes of organizations in partnership with the Culture Tree Project . Given the work that was done to follow up with organizations linked to the first call, an analysis of the effectiveness of these educational processes in rural areas was conducted through instruments of data collection surveys, field diary and an activity evaluation.Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarc
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
