Teacher to teacher: An investigation into teacher-generated online professional development
No full textThis brief paper presents a work-in-progress research study aimed at investigating how selected secondary English teachers describe their experiences organizing and facilitating online professional development opportunities for their peers at a distance. Framed by scholarship problematizing traditional, top-down teacher professional development and research detailing the value of self-directed online participation as professional development, the qualitative research project described here is intended to help build an understanding of English language arts teachers’ experiences creating and leading voluntary online professional development opportunities for fellow teachers

The nature of selected secondary English teachers’ online participation
No full textThis article documents an investigation into the nature of selected secondary English teachers’ online participation across platforms (i.e., blogs, microblogs, social networking sites) as they explored issues related to teaching, learning, and literacy. Ethnographic content analysis of online artifacts generated over approximately 10 months revealed four interrelated participatory practices that reflect the nature of the teachers’ online participation: supporting teachers, seeking support, curating ideas and information, and promoting one\u27s own online content. With implications for teacher education and future research, the study contributes to growing understandings of teachers’ efforts to advance their professional development by participating online
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
