      本研究在探討國小四年級階段實施「國民中小學部分領域課程雙語教學實施計畫」– 英語融入體育學科教學對於國小四年級–體育領域知識、英語體育單字習得成效的影響和學生對於此實驗教學的經驗回饋。本研究對象為高雄市某國小四年級二個班級共40位學生,為期八週,每週兩節。本研究採取學科內涵與語言融合學習教學法 (CLIL),研究資料收集為兩部分,學科內容習得及英語單字均透過前後測,以混合設計二因子變異數分析來進行比對學生是否習得領域知識及分析學生英語體育內容單字習得的數據。之後以問卷收集整理,學生對於部分領域課程雙語教學實施計畫教學的回饋,希望藉由此研究可發現英語融入體育學科對學生學習動機之影響關係,提升學生英語學習之效益,並增進教師專業成長。研究結果發現,在體育學科知識方面,實驗組優於控制組(F=104.59,p<.05),在英語字彙能力習得方面,實驗組優於控制組(F=8.01,p<.05);CLIL課程問卷也呈正向回饋,學習動機與態度也有所成長。結論:無論英語是否介入體育教學,學生仍可習得體育學科知識,而大多數學生也都能接受CLIL教學並給予肯定。  This study aimed to find out the effects of implementation project of bilingual instruction in PE subject in elementary school, teaching PE content knowledge and English PE content words to 40 fourth graders in Kaohsiung city by using CLIL. The teaching mode was conducted twice a week, each for 40 minutes and lasting for eight weeks. Research data required for this study were collected from pretest and posttest of the content knowledge test and the English PE content words test by using mixed-design ANOVA, and also get the feedback questionnaire as evaluation. The result of the study indicate that the CLIL instruction has positive effects on helping students to acquire PE knowledge(F=104.59,p<.05). As for the English PE content words the results also shows the CLIL instruction in teaching English PE content words has direct impacts(F=8.01,p<.05). In addition, the feedback questionnaire also indicates that most of the students give the positive feedback. The study conclusions include: the implementation project of bilingual instruction in PE subject is helpful for subject content knowledge and English PE content words. Moreover, the fourth graders maintained a very positive attitude toward receiving bilingual education

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
