Arquitectura de servicios adaptativos para un proceso de co-creación con estudiantes con altas capacidades
No full textWith the aim of motivating High Ability students in their learning process, we propose their participation in the co‑creation of their own learning material. However, their participation is not enough because the process should also be a personal experience adapted to students’ characteristics and context. For that purpose, we defined a learning material co‑creation process, called Co‑CreHAs, which guides the adaptation of co‑created material according to High Ability students’ learning needs. For said adaptation, we implemented AdaptHAs (i.e., the model used to adapt Co‑CreHAs). In this paper, we present the design and validation of the architecture of adaptive services of AdaptHAs. Such architecture design is based on the analysis of the characteristics of high abilities and the co‑creation process. This analysis allowed us to identify the kind of adaptation profiles that needed to be defined, participants’ aspects that would be worked on in each profile, and the parts of the process where we could use those profiles in order to personalize it. The architecture was validated through the analysis of three real co‑creation experiences with High Ability students, their parents, and their teachers using the Co-CreHAs extension for Moodle, which was developed applying said architecture. The results of this validation show that the architecture guides the adaptation of the co‑creation and the development of software that can be implemented to put into practice such co‑creation with the adaptive services previously defined. Furthermore, we observed that the proposed process and the implemented adaptation can influence High Ability students’ motivation to co-create their own learning material.Con el objetivo de ayudar a motivar a los estudiantes con altas capacidades en su proceso de aprendizaje, se propone que participen en la co-creación de su material educativo. Pero la participación no es suficiente, es importante hacer que esta se convierta en una experiencia personal y cercana a sus características y a su contexto. Para conseguirlo, se ha definido un proceso de co-creación de material educativo, denominado Co-CreHAs, en el que se orienta su adaptación de acuerdo a las necesidades del estudiante con altas capacidades. Esta adaptación se desarrolla en AdaptHAs, que es el módulo de adaptación de Co-CreHAs. En este artículo, se presentan el diseño y la validación de la arquitectura de los servicios adaptativos de AdaptHAs, de los cuales, el diseño se basa en el análisis de las características de las altas capacidades y del proceso de co-creación. Gracias a dicho análisis, se identificaron el tipo de perfiles de adaptación a definir, los aspectos de los participantes que se trabajarían en cada perfil y los momentos del proceso de co-creación en que se podrían usar los perfiles definidos para personalizarlo. Asimismo, la validación de la arquitectura se hace a través del análisis de tres experiencias de co-creación con estudiantes con altas capacidades, sus padres y sus profesores, para el cual se ha usado la extensión Co-CreHAs para Moodle, desarrollada en el marco de la arquitectura. Con base en dicha validación, se observó que la arquitectura propuesta es una guía para la adaptación de la co-creación y para el desarrollo de un software que permita llevarla a la práctica con los servicios adaptativos definidos. También se estima que el proceso propuesto y la adaptación implementada influyen en la motivación de los estudiantes con altas capacidades frente a la co-creación de su material educativo
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.
