    Exploring the Relationships Between Undergraduate and High School Students’ Self-Efficacy, Engagement, and Attitudes Towards Physics

    The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between attitudes, engagement and self-efficacy in physics. The analysis was based on three Likert-scale surveys designed to measure the constructs addressed and administered online to N = 1,971 Italian undergraduate and high school students. After exploring several possible models, we validated a structural model in which attitudes play the role of the independent variable, self-efficacy represents the dependent variable, and engagement acts as the overall mediator. The results have implications for teaching in terms of understanding the mechanism underlying the promotion of students’ self-efficacy in physics

    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
