Development of a teaching assessment guide in health higher education based on classroom video observation
No full textO desenvolvimento de processos eficazes de avaliação educacional que atendam às necessidades de aprendizagem dos alunos e promovam a formação contínua dos professores constitui um desafio significativo no ensino superior, especialmente na área da saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo elaborar um guia de avaliação docente para o Ensino Superior em Saúde, utilizando a observação em vídeo, com o intuito de fomentar formações continuadas e aprimorar as práticas pedagógicas dos docentes. A prática pedagógica analisada foi o uso de apresentações em PowerPoint como ferramenta de ensino. De natureza quanti-qualitativa e descritiva, a pesquisa foi realizada com nove professores do curso de graduação em Medicina de uma universidade privada em Fortaleza, Ceará, entre 2023 e 2024. A coleta de dados incluiu questionários, observações em vídeo, pesquisa-ação e grupo focal, analisados à luz da literatura sobre avaliação docente, formação de professores e estratégias pedagógicas. Os resultados mostraram uma melhora significativa nas apresentações após a formação continuada, com maior organização, uso estratégico de recursos visuais, atenção aos detalhes técnicos, como normas da ABNT, maior conscientização sobre direitos autorais e o uso adequado de transições, destacando a relevância da ética digital no ambiente educacional. A análise do grupo focal revelou a importância da autoavaliação a partir das gravações, promovendo a prática reflexiva. Essa auto-observação, associada ao feedback de pedagogos, facilitou a identificação de lacunas e melhorias nas interações docentes e na qualidade do ensino. O uso da plataforma digital foi elogiado pelos professores pela acessibilidade e flexibilidade. A possibilidade de revisitar conteúdos de forma autônoma permitiu um aprendizado contínuo. Apesar de dificuldades iniciais relatadas por alguns, como login e suporte, a experiência geral foi positiva, destacando a eficácia de Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (AVA) em programas de formação docente. O estudo conclui que a avaliação docente por observação em vídeo, associada à formação continuada, é uma estratégia eficaz para aprimorar práticas pedagógicas no ensino superior na saúde. A integração de tecnologia e feedback colaborativo promoveu uma melhoria significativa na qualidade das aulas e motivou os professores a adotarem uma postura crítica e reflexiva.Developing effective educational assessment processes that address students’ learning needs and promote continuous faculty development remains a significant challenge in higher education, especially in the health field. This study aimed to develop a teaching evaluation guide for Health Higher Education using video observation to foster continuous training and improve pedagogical practices. The analyzed teaching practice focused on the use of PowerPoint presentations as an instructional tool. Employing a quantitative-qualitative and descriptive approach, the study was conducted with nine faculty members from a private medical school in Fortaleza, Ceará, between 2023 and 2024. Data collection included questionnaires, video observations, action research, and a focus group, analyzed in light of literature on teacher evaluation, faculty development, and pedagogical strategies. Results showed significant improvement in presentations after the training, with better organization, strategic use of visual resources, attention to technical details such as ABNT formatting standards, increased awareness of copyright, and appropriate use of transitions—highlighting the relevance of digital ethics in educational environments. The focus group analysis emphasized the value of self-assessment through video recordings, promoting reflective practice and encouraging educators to reassess their strategies and classroom demeanor. This self-observation, combined with pedagogical feedback, helped identify gaps and enhanced teaching interactions. The use of a digital platform was praised for its accessibility and flexibility, allowing autonomous, ongoing learning. Although some initial difficulties were reported, such as login issues and limited support, the overall experience was positive, reinforcing the effectiveness of Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) in faculty development. The study concludes that video-based teaching assessment, combined with continuous training, is an effective strategy for enhancing pedagogical practices in health higher education. The integration of technology and collaborative feedback significantly improved lesson quality and motivated instructors to adopt a more critical and reflective teaching approach
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
