Relações entre crenças e emoções de professores em formação inicial sobre o ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa
No full textStudies on language learning and teaching have focused for a long time on the cognitive dimension of these processes and not so much on the role emotions play on them (ARAGÃO, 2005; SWAIN, 2011; CANDIDO RIBEIRO, 2012; BARCELOS 2013). Recently, researchers have argued that investigating the relationship between the two concepts helps us to broaden our understanding of the many issues related to this topic (SWAIN, 2011; BARCELOS, 2013). In an attempt to contribute to research on this area, this study investigated pre-service teachers in the Languages and Literatures Program (LLP) of a federal university of the southeastern of Brazil, who were taking the English Teaching Practicum I. The study aimed at identifying pre-service English teachers’ beliefs, emotions, and possible relationships between them. In order to achieve these aims, the following research questions guided the study: 1) What beliefs do pre-service teachers hold about English learning and teaching?; 2) Which emotions did they experience as language learners and during the Practicum?; 3) Is there a relationship between their emotions and beliefs? If so, how do they interact with each other? The theoretical framework was based on studies on beliefs (PAJARES, 1992; BARCELOS, 2000, 2001, 2004 2006, 2007, 2007b, 2013; VIEIRA-ABRAHÃO, 2002; BARCELOS & KALAJA, 2011, 2013; KALAJA & BARCELOS, 2003, 2011), emotions ZEMBYLAS, 2002a, 2002b, 2003, 2004; ARAGÃO, 2008; CANDIDO RIBEIRO, 2012), and the relationships between them (FRIJDA et al, 2000; FRIJDA & MESQUITA, 2000; HARMON- JONES, 2000; FORGAS, 2000; SWAIN, 2011; BARCELOS, 2013; GOLOMBEK & DORAN, 2014). Two semi-structured questionnaires, a semi-structured interview, a written narrative, participants’ class observation diaries, final reports, field notes, and researcher’s journal were used as data collection instruments. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers’ emotions and beliefs about learning and teaching English related in dynamic, complex, interactive, reciprocal, and dissonant ways provoking belief formation, change and strengthening. These relationships were closely associated to pre-service teachers’ actions, identities, and the nature of the interactions they established with others within specific social, historical, and political contexts.Estudos sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem de línguas têm focado por muito tempo na dimensão cognitiva desses processos e dado pouca atenção ao papel que as emoções neles desempenham (ARAGÃO, 2005; SWAIN, 2011; CANDIDO RIBEIRO, 2012; BARCELOS 2013). Atualmente, pesquisadores vêm argumentando que a investigação sobre a relação entre os dois conceitos pode nos ajudar a ampliar nossa compreensão sobre as várias questões relacionadas ao tema (SWAIN, 2011; BARCELOS, 2013). Numa tentativa de contribuir com a pesquisa sobre o assunto, este estudo investigou professores pré-serviço do curso de Letras de uma universidade federal, localizada na região sudeste do Brasil, que estavam cursando a disciplina de Estágio Supervisionado de Língua Inglesa I. O estudo teve como objetivos identificar as crenças e emoções desses professores assim como a relação entre elas. Para alcançá-los, as seguintes perguntas de pesquisa guiaram este estudo: 1) Quais crenças os professores pre-serviço possuem sobre os processos de ensino e aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa? 2) Que emoções eles vivenciaram como alunos e durante o estágio? 3) Há alguma relação entre suas crenças e emoções? Se sim, como elas se relacionam? O referencial teórico foi baseado em estudos sobre crenças (PAJARES, 1992; BARCELOS, 2000, 2001, 2004 2006, 2007, 2007b, 2013; VIEIRA-ABRAHÃO, 2002; BARCELOS & KALAJA, 2011, 2013; KALAJA & BARCELOS, 2003, 2011) emoções (ZEMBYLAS, 2002a, 2002b, 2003, 2004; ARAGÃO, 2008; CANDIDO RIBEIRO, 2012), e as relações entre elas (FRIJDA et al, 2000; FRIJDA & MESQUITA, 2000; HARMON-JONES, 2000; FORGAS, 2000; SWAIN, 2011; BARCELOS, 2013; GOLOMBEK & DORAN, 2014). Dois questionários semi-estruturados, uma entrevista semi-estruturada, uma narrativa escrita, diário de observação de aulas dos participantes, relatório final, notas de campo e diário de pesquisa foram utilizados como instrumentos de coleta de dados. Os resultados revelaram que as emoções e crenças dos professores pré-serviço sobre o ensino e aprendizagem de inglês interagiram de forma dinâmica, complexa, interativa, recíproca e dissonante, provocando a formação, mudança e fortalecimento de crenças. Essas interações tiveram relação com suas ações, identidades e a natureza de suas interações dentro de contextos sócio-hitóricos e políticos específicos.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio
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

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.
