Social Studies Curriculum Change and Students\u27 Knowledge of Government and Civics
No full textThis paper analyzes the impact of curriculum cbange with apparent changes in student knowledge of government and civics throughout the twentieth century. First, political scientist Richard Niemi\u27s studies of students\u27 responses on measures of government and civics knowledge are described. These measures spanned the time period from 1933 through 1998. Next, Niemi\u27s results are correlated to changes in the social studies curriculum as documented by Evans (2002), StaUones (2002) and others. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the impact of curriculum change on student knowledge
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
The Army Specialized Training Program and ‘Fast Track’ Professional Preparation
No full textThe early years of World War II saw an unprecedented collaboration between the armed forces of the United States and institutions of higher education. Shortages of manpower critical to the war effort and declining wartime enrollments in the colleges and universities led military-academic partnerships for the rapid preparation of physicians, engineers, and other professionals. One of these partnerships, the Army Specialized Training Program, yields lessons for modern advocates of accelerated professional preparation programs to meet the forecast teacher shortage
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
The role of linked learning on teacher motivation, deficit thinking and teacher burnout across low, mid, and high poverty linked learning school settings
Get PDFThis study examined the role of Linked Learning in teacher motivation, teacher burnout and the deficit thinking paradigm across school poverty levels. This study used Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory through the Agentic Perspective (1986, 1989, 2001), Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (1943), M.E. Ford’s Motivation Systems Theory (1992), and the deficit thinking paradigm (Valencia, 1997), as frameworks for the research. These frameworks were used to explore teacher motivation in terms of goal setting by looking specifically at performance approaches, performance goal structures, mastery approaches, mastery goal structure; teacher personal agency beliefs; personal teaching efficacy (Midgley et al., 2000), and teacher emotions. Teacher burnout was examined through personal accomplishment, depersonalization and emotional exhaustion (Maslach, Jackson, Leiter, Schaufeli, & Schwab, 1996). Deficit thinking was explored by examining perceptions and teacher expectations
