Evaluation of the use of virtual learning environments in undergraduate distance in Accounting courses
No full textO presente trabalho insere-se na discussão sobre a utilização de ambientes virtuais em cursos a distância de Contabilidade em nível de Graduação. Essa preocupação se justifica devido ao grande crescimento do EaD no Brasil, pois, nesse contexto, faz-se necessária uma abordagem sobre os Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem, que se constituem num recurso muito utilizado e discutido na educação mediada pelas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC). A partir dessa perspectiva, a proposta para este trabalho é discutir o ponto de vista do curso de Ciências Contábeis na modalidade EaD, em especial qual a percepção do coordenador de curso sobre as funcionalidades dos Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem hoje existentes e se eles são adequados para a mediação de um curso de Ciências Contábeis a distância. Para investigar esses questionamentos, criou-se um instrumento de avaliação Survey, com questões voltadas às funcionalidades dos ambientes virtuais utilizados nas Instituições de Ensino Superior que ofertam o curso de Graduação em Ciências Contábeis na modalidade a distância, e que tenha polo de apoio presencial na cidade de São Paulo. Os resultados mostram que adequações e melhorias nas ferramentas são necessárias levando-se em conta vários aspectos apontados na análise dos dados. Espera-se que o presente trabalho possa contribuir de maneira eficaz para melhorias das ferramentas dos ambientes virtuaisThis work is part of the discussion about the use of virtual environments in distance learning courses in Accounting Undergraduate level. The motivation for its existence is justified due to the large growth of distance education in Brazil. In such context it is necessary an analysis about Virtual Learning Environment, which is a feature widely used and discussed in education mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). From this perspective, the proposal for this paper is to discuss the point of view of the Accounting course in DL mode s agents, especially the perception of the course coordinator about the features of Virtual Learning Environments that now exist and whether they are suitable for mediation of a course in Accounting in the distance modality. To investigate these questions, we created an assessment tool Survey, with questions related to the features of virtual environments used in High Education Institutions that offer undergraduate courses in Accounting in the distance modality, and has a pole of face support in the city of São Paulo. The results show that adaptations and improvements are necessary tools taking into account various aspects highlighted in the data analysis. It is hoped that this work can contribute effectively to improve the tools of virtual environment
Fatores críticos de sucesso na decisão de implementação de Centros de Serviços Compartilhados (Shared Services)
Get PDFOrientador : Cleverson Renan da CunhaMonografia (especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas. Curso de Especialização em MBA em Gestão Estratégica.Inclui referênciasResumo: De olho na competitividade global e com a missão de gerar cada vez mais valor a seus produtos e serviços, as empresas brasileiras vêm constantemente investindo em novas tecnologias de produção, processos e ferramentas de gestão. E é nessa última categoria que as iniciativas de implementação de um Centro de Serviços Compartilhados (CSC) estão cada vez mais ganhando seu espaço como uma alternativa capaz de reduzir os custos operacionais, aumentar a produtividade,
gerar econômia e entregar o tão sonhado valor a seus clientes, sejam eles internos ou externos à organização. Nesse cenário e sedente pelos benefícios possíveis de serem alcançados através do CSC, é que inúmeras perguntas começam a borbulhar na cabeça da alta direção. Como implementar? Qual é a escala necessária? Meus processos estão prontos para isso? Quanto e como vou economizar com uma estrutura como essa? Com um olhar focado no momento das decisões estratégicas sobre esse tipo de iniciativa é que essa pesquisa tentará extrair os principais fatores críticos de sucesso que devem ser avaliados e mensurados com maior critério pelos dirigentes
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
