Chapitre 17. Tony Bates. Postfordisme ou néo-fordisme ?
No full textInternational audienceNé en 1939, A. W. (Tony) Bates commence par acquérir une formation de sociologue, avant de s’orienter vers le domaine de la Technologie éducative. Il exerce durant vingt ans à l’Open University britannique, à Milton Keynes, en tant que professeur et chercheur dans le domaine des médias éducatifs, où il est notamment chargé de l’évaluation des programmes. Cependant il effectue en parallèle de nombreuses missions auprès d’autres établissements d’enseignement à distance, en particulier aux États-Unis, au Mexique en Asie du Sud-est et, surtout, au Canada. En 1990 il s’installe d’ailleurs à Vancouver, où il est chargé de la direction des secteurs « Éducation à distance et technologies » et « Formation continue » de l’université de Colombie britannique. À Vancouver également il fonde en 2003 la Tony Bates Associates Ltd, société de consultance et de formation en e learning et formation à distance. Depuis, au nom de cette société et en tant que simple conférencier invité, il est fréquemment amené à intervenir auprès des communautés anglophones et hispanophones de l’enseignement à distance

Discurso de clausura del acto de investidura de Tony Bates como doctor honoris causa
No full textTony Bates is, currently, the professor and researcher who has best known how to appreciate the value of ICT in university education: the positive effect of new technologies on the quality of that taught and in terms of knowledge dissemination. He is the point of reference in his field. Dr Bates has studied the relationships between the channel and learning, and between the channel, function and organisation in depth, leading to extraordinarily valuable contributions. Valuable to us, who have been the focus of his research, through his analysis of the UOC as a paradigm for distance education, throughout our life, but also, if you will allow me a solemn reflection, valuable for a world which needs this learning, and, thanks to Tony Bates, a world that can increasingly access this learning with much sounder skills.Tony Bates es actualmente el profesor y el investigador que mejor ha sabido ver el valor de las TIC en la enseñanza universitaria, la positiva incidencia de las nuevas tecnologías en la calidad de lo que enseñamos y en la difusión del aprendizaje. Él es, en este campo, un modelo de referencia. Bates ha estudiado a fondo las relaciones entre canal y aprendizaje y entre canal, función y organización, con aportaciones extraordinariamente valiosas. Valiosas para nosotros, que hemos sido objeto de su investigación, ya que ha analizado la UOC como un paradigma de la formación no presencial, a lo largo de la vida, pero, si me permiten la solemnidad, valiosas para el mundo, que necesita esta formación y que gracias a Tony Bates accederá a ella progresivamente con una competencia mejor fundamentada.Tony Bates és actualment el professor i l'investigador que millor ha sabut veure el valor de les TIC en l'ensenyament universitari, la incidència positiva de les noves tecnologies en la qualitat del que ensenyem i en la difusió de l'aprenentatge. Ell és, en aquest camp, un model de referència. Bates ha estudiat a fons les relacions entre canal i aprenentatge i entre canal, funció i organització, amb aportacions extraordinàriament valuoses. Valuoses per a nosaltres, que hem estat objecte de la seva recerca, atès que ha analitzat la UOC com un paradigma de la formació no presencial, al llarg de la vida, però, si em permeten la solemnitat, valuoses per al món, que necessita aquesta formació i que gràcies a Tony Bates hi accedirà progressivament amb una competència més ben fonamentada
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
