"Ikke så mye bla, bla, bla ... Det var mer fakta" En kvalitativt studie av barneskoleelevers utøvelse av kritisk literacy i møte med multiple tekster
Get PDFDenne oppgaven har som formål å undersøke om og hvordan elever i sjette klasse utøver kritisk literacy i møte med tre ulike tekster fra internett som alle omhandlet samme tema. Jeg har følgende problemstilling: om og i så fall hvordan barneskoleelever utøver kritisk literacy i møte med multiple tekster. For å svare på dette stilte jeg meg de følgende forskningsspørsmålene: hvordan anvender elevene sine forkunnskaper, hva tar elevene med i vurderingene av teksten, vurderer de pålitelighet og avsenders hensikt, ser de forskjell på mening og fakta og hvilke forskjeller er det eventuelt på individuelt skriftlig vurdering og en muntlig vurdering i gruppe. For å finne svar på dette har jeg valgt et kvalitativt forskningsdesign med fokusgruppeintervju. Elevene leser tre tekster individuelt og svarer på tre åpne spørsmål skriftlig individuelt før de i gruppe diskuterer tekstene med hverandre. I likhet med tidligere forskning viser også mine funn at elevene i stor grad mangler strategier i møte med tekstene. Fakta og informasjonshenting fra tekstene ser ut til å være elevene sin umiddelbare strategi. Elevene gjør vurderinger av tekstene, og ser at ulike meninger blir presentert i de ulike tekstene. Likevel blir ikke meningene satt opp mot hverandre og det blir i liten grad tatt opp forskjellen på mening og fakta. Det er tilsynelatende lite motstand til tekstene, og lite vurderinger av avsenders hensikt og pålitelighet. Et annet funn er at gruppesamtalen viste seg å gi andre refleksjoner på hvordan elevene vurderte tekstene sammenlignet med de individuelle vurderingene. På bakgrunn av funnene i studien konkluderer jeg med at det fortsatt må jobbes videre med det å møte tekster fra internett i skolen, og at det må øves på strategibruk der elevene får trent seg på å se avsenders hensikt med tekst, vurdere pålitelighet, og å se forskjell på mening og fakta i tekst.
Summary:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether and how students in sixth grade practice critical literacy in the face of three different texts from the internet that all dealt with the same topic. I have the following problem: whether and if so how primary school students practice critical literacy in the face of multiple texts. To answer this, I asked myself the following research questions: how do students apply their prior knowledge, what do students include in the assessments of the text, do they assess reliability and the sender's intention, do they see differences in opinion and facts, and what differences are there in individual written assessment and an oral assessment in group. To find answers to this, I have chosen a qualitative research design with a focus group interview. The students read three texts individually and answer three open questions in writing individually before discussing the texts with each other in a group. Like previous research, my findings also show that students largely lack strategies in meeting the texts. Facts and information retrieval from the texts seem to be the students' immediate strategy. The students make assessments of the texts, and see that different opinions are presented in the different texts. Nevertheless, opinions are not set against each other and the difference between opinion and facts is not addressed to any great extent. There is apparently little resistance to the lyrics, and little assessment of the sender's intent and reliability. Another finding is that the group discussion turned out to provide other reflections on how the students assessed the texts compared with the individual assessments. Based on the findings of the study, I conclude that further work must be done to meet texts from the internet in school, and that it must be practiced on strategy use where students are trained to see the purpose of text, assess reliability, and to see difference in opinion and facts in text
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.
