O papel da Língua de Sinais Italiana (LIS) no sistema educacional italiano
Get PDFItalian Sign Language (LIS) education is going through a profound transformation in Italy. Since its recognition, in 2021, as the natural language of the Deaf minority, and the definition of LIS interpreters as the designated professionals to mediate communication needs involving signers in all public settings, the debate has increased in the attempt to determine the content and purpose(s) of the interpreters' training (in Higher Education?) courses. While formal education in sign language (SL) is becoming increasingly important for interpreters' training, and universities are opening experimental courses for them, the linguistic education of deaf children and the vocational training of Deaf adults as SL teachers are gaining new attention. In light of these changes, I discuss the state of the art of general education for the deaf in Italy, glancing at the steps that led to LIS recognition, and the training of bimodal bilingual (deaf) children in public education. Past choices influence the present. The topic will be covered from a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, following the evolution in the social as well as political decisions that influenced deaf education.O ensino da Língua de Sinais Italiana (LIS) está passando por uma profunda transformação na Itália. Desde o seu reconhecimento em 2021, como a língua natural da minoria surda, juntamente com o dos intérpretes de LIS como profissionais designados para mediar suas necessidades de comunicação em todos os ambientes públicos, o debate aumentou na tentativa de determinar o conteúdo e o(s) objetivo(s) dos cursos de formação de intérpretes (no ensino superior?). Enquanto a educação formal em língua de sinais (LS) esteja se tornando cada vez mais importante para o treinamento de intérpretes, e as universidades estão abrindo cursos experimentais para isso, a educação linguística de crianças surdas e o treinamento vocacional de adultos surdos como professores de LS estão ganhando nova atenção. À luz dessas mudanças, discuto o estado da arte da educação geral para surdos na Itália, observando as etapas levaram ao reconhecimento da LIS e ao treinamento de crianças bilíngues (surdas) bimodais na educação pública. O tópico será abordado a partir de uma perspectiva histórica e interdisciplinar, acompanhando a evolução das decisões sociais e políticas que influenciaram a educação de surdos
Life after school: Deaf educactionand lifelonglearning in Italy
No full textMost studies on D/deaf education focus on children who are in their scholar years. This follows both the trend in pedagogical studies, which have seen a great improvements in the past 40 years, and the desire/need to prepare teachers of the D/deaf to provide these children with the best possible means to face adult life. This trend is present in many countries, Italy as well, where the growing interest towards sign language is intertwined with the need to provide special needs teachers with updated information on how to teach to their students. The result is a growing interest towards all possible means of social inclusion, and the recognition of sign language as a priviledged code to communicate with deaf people. The evolution of the national laws on special education, and the formal recognition of Italian sign language, seem to reflect this change of mindset. However, while the formation of educators to the needs of D/deaf children is improving, a generational gap remains between those who were educated in special schools (now aged 40+), adults who were educated without having a specialized professional to refer to (aged between 30-40), and young adults who had all the possible opportunities to improve their abilities but still struggle to overcome linguistic or socio-cultural barriers to professionally improve in the adult’s world. This paper will cover the specific situation of lifelong learning in Italian and foreign D/deaf adults, offering a picture on D/deaf lifelong learning in Italy and Europe.A maioria dos estudos em educação de S/surdos foca em crianças que estão em seus anos escolares. O objetivo disso é evidente: preparar professores de S/surdos para proporcionar a essas crianças os melhores meios possíveis de enfrentar a vida adulta. Esse também tem sido o objetivo da pesquisa em educação de S/surdos na Itália. Os estudos emeducação de S/surdos e Língua de Sinais têm permitido a propagação de uma série de cursos de formação de professores e a criação de novas profissões no campo da educação que atendem às necessidades de crianças S/surdas de uma maneira apropriada. No entanto, enquanto a formação de educadores para as necessidades de crianças S/surdas está melhorando, uma lacuna geracional permanece entre aqueles que foram educados em escolas especiais (agora com mais de 40 anos), adultos que foram educados sem ter um profissional especializado para se referir (entre 30 e 40 anos), e jovens adultos que tiveram todas as oportunidades para desenvolver suas habilidades, mas ainda lutam para superar as barreiras linguísticas ou socioculturais para melhorar profissionalmente no mundo dos adultos. Este artigo se detém à situação específica da aprendizagem ao longo da vida de adultos S/surdos italianos e estrangeiros, oferecendo um panorama da aprendizagem ao longo da vida de S/surdos na Itália e na Europa.La mayoría de los estudios sobre educación para personas sordas se centran en niños que están en sus años escolares. El objetivo de esto es evidente: preparar a los profesores para que los sordos proporcionen a estos niños los mejores medios posibles para afrontar la edad adulta. Este también ha sido el objetivo de la investigación sobre la educación de los sordos en Italia. Los estudios en Educación para Sordos y Lengua de Signos han permitido la difusión de una serie de cursos de formación del profesorado y la creación de nuevas profesiones en el campo de la educación que satisfagan las necesidades de los niños Sordos de forma adecuada. Sin embargo, si bien la formación de educadores para las necesidades de los niños no sordos está mejorando, persiste una brecha generacional entre los que fueron educados en escuelas especiales (ahora más de 40), los adultos que fueron educados sin un profesional especializado para referir (entre 30 y 40 años), y adultos jóvenes que han tenido todas las oportunidades para desarrollar sus habilidades, pero aún luchan por superar las barreras lingüísticas o socioculturales para mejorar profesionalmente en el mundoadulto. Este artículo se centra en la situación específica del aprendizaje permanente para adultos sordos italianos y extranjeros, y ofrece una descripción general del aprendizaje permanente para personas sordas en Italia y Europa
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
