古典诗歌教学与写作能力之研究 ─ 以新加坡小学四年级生为例 (Teaching of classical Chinese poetry and enhancing writing skills: A study on primary four pupils in Singapore)
No full text在新加坡，将修辞教学融入语文教学方面的研究并不多见，对新加坡小学生的修辞技巧的应用现况的分析和研究也不多。这样的情况，促使笔者有意开展这方面的研究，希望借此能够提高小学生的写作能力外，也希望在小学任教的华文老师，在教学时，能够有意识地融入修辞的教学，以提高学生的语文素养。本研究通过行动研究，以圣婴女校（客洛）小四深广班学生为研究对象，在第四学期及课程结束后，针对全班三十二位学生进行前后问卷及作文测试，比较教学前、后，学生之写作兴趣、态度与能力是否有显著的变化。在全班三十二位学生第一次独立写作后，由笔者依据学生写作作品分高、中、低三组进行分析。分析其经教学后作品的变化，从中来探寻以古典诗歌在语言上的特点，进行写作教学，对学生写作表现之影响。初步统计数据表明，经过写作教学的训练后，学生对教材内容与教学活动之学习兴趣明显提升，对写作态度也有显著的改善。此外，学生在语文表达方面的表现也有明显进步。修辞手法运用得当，将使文章的表现手法较为娴熟、活泼、生动，但并不一定与取得高分有直接的关系。但是，写作教学的训练，对学生的写作能力产生积极的影响。In Singapore, it is rather rare to see the teaching of Rhetoric incorporated into language teaching, rarer still, the analysis and study of the extant of how primary school pupils in Singapore use Rhetoric. This motivated the author to carry out research in this area. It is hoped that through the teaching of rhetoric, the writing skills and subsequently, the language ability of primary school pupils could be improved.This study is carried out by way of action research. A group of 32 primary four pupils from CHIJ (Kellock) were involved in this study. Data was collected and analyzed from pupils’ questionnaires as well as independent writing (pre and post teaching) to evaluate whether the students’ attitude and ability towards learning of writing through classical Chinese poetry have any significant impact. At the beginning of the writing programme, pupils had to write a composition. Their writings were assessed and evaluated by the author and placed into three groups. The pupils were then taught rhetorical skills in their writing lessons. They were then tasked to write another composition after the writing programme. These compositions were subsequently analyzed to gauge how the teaching of rhetoric has impacted on the pupils’ writing.Preliminary statistics show that, after teaching the writing package, the pupils’ interest in learning and involvement in writing activities improved significantly. Their attitude towards writing have also improved significantly. In addition, significant progress was also observed in the pupils’ language expression. Thus, rhetorical skills when used properly, would make the pupils’ writing more lively and vivid, but not necessarily translate into a high score for the pupils’ writing. Nonetheless, the teaching of the writing package has a positive impact on students' writing skills
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.
