Assistenters erfaringer med læreres relasjonsarbeid for elever med ADHD i begynneropplæringen: En kvalitativ studie
No full textDenne mastergradsavhandlingen undersøker hvilke erfaringer assistenter i begynneropplæringen har med læreres tilrettelegging for relasjonsarbeid for elever som har ADHD. Målet med studien er å se hvilke tilrettelegginger lærere gjør for å etablere gode relasjoner for elever med ADHD, og hjelpe fremtidige lærere med konkrete eksempler nær knyttet til praksis. Antall elever med ADHD-diagnose har økt de siste årene, og det er derfor sentralt å se hvilke tiltak lærere gjør for relasjonsbygging, da elever med ADHD ofte strever med relasjoner. Studien har et kvalitativt forskningsdesign med en fenomenologisk tilnærming, og empirien er basert på fire semistrukturerte intervjuer med assistenter som har erfaring med å jobbe med elever med ADHD i begynneropplæringen. Assistentenes erfaringer kan gi et spennende utenfra-blikk på læreres tilrettelegginger, og gi oss ny forståelse av hvordan det praktiseres i skolen. Problemstillingen for masteren er: “Hvilke erfaringer har assistenter om læreres tilrettelegginger for relasjonsarbeid i begynneropplæringen, for elever med ADHD?”.
Intervjuene ble analysert av en stegvis-induktiv-deduktiv analysemetode, der assistentenes erfaringer belyste tre hovedtemaer: (1) lærerens relasjon til elever med ADHD, (2) læreres tilrettelegging for lærer-elev-relasjonen, og (3) læreres tilrettelegging for elev-elev-relasjonen. Hovedtemaene viser sentrale funn i empirien, der assistentene kom med erfaringer om store variasjoner i lærernes relasjonsarbeid for elever med ADHD. Enkelte lærere tar bevisste valg og konkrete tilrettelegginger, mens andre viser usikkerhet og mangel på både tid og kunnskap. Manglende tid og kunnskap om diagnosen erfares som utfordrende for lærere å tilrettelegge relasjonsarbeidet, og mye av ansvaret havner på assistentene. Funnene viser også til eksempler på positive lærer-assistent samarbeid, og konkrete tiltak som styrker relasjonen mellom lærer-elev og elev-elev.This master thesis examines teacher assistants (TAs) experience in the early years of primary school regarding how teachers facilitate relationships-building for students diagnosed with ADHD. The goal with this study is to see which measures teachers do, to establish positive relations for students with ADHD, and to provide future teachers with concrete examples closely related to practice. The number of students diagnosed with ADHD has increased in recent years, and it is therefore crucial to examine which measures teachers do for relationships-building, as students with ADHD often struggle with relationships. This study employs a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach, and the empirical data is based on four semistructured interviews with TAs who have experience working with students diagnosed with ADHD in the early years of primary school. The TAs experiences can give valuable external perspective on how the teachers facilitate relationship-building, and provide us with a new understanding on current practices. The research question guiding this thesis is: “What experience do TAs have regarding teachers’ facilitation of relationship-building in the early years of primary education, for students diagnosed with ADHD?”.
The interviews were analysed using a stepwise inductive-deductive method. The TAs’ experiences highlighted three main themes: (1) the teacher’s relationship with students with ADHD, (2) teachers’ facilitation of the teacher-student relationships, and (3) teachers’ facilitation of the student-student relationships. These main themes reveal significant findings in the empirical data, where the TAs describe substantial variation in how teachers engage in relational work with students with ADHD. Some teachers make deliberate choices and implement concrete adaptations, while others appear uncertain and lack both time and knowledge. The lack of time and knowledge about the diagnosis are experienced as challenges for the teachers to facilitate relationship-building, often resulting in the relational responsibility transfers to the TAs. The findings also present examples of positive collaboration between teachers and TAs, and specific measures that strengthen both teacher-student and student-student relationships
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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.
