Contemporary pedagogical dilemmas: a study of vocational guidance in schools
No full textO objetivo desta pesquisa é abordar o tema da orientação vocacional em escolas, precisamente, em projetos destinados a alunos do ensino médio. A partir da experiência da autora em um projeto de orientação vocacional em uma escola particular da Grande São Paulo, observou-se que a escolha de uma profissão migrou do ambiente familiar para o escolar. Analisando essa mudança, o trabalho procura evidenciar significativas alterações sócio-econômico-culturais que concorreram para transformar a Orientação Vocacional num projeto (psico) pedagógico. A metodologia utilizada para investigar estas alterações consistiu no levantamento de ideias e ideais que ao circularem discursivamente tem definido ações no campo da educação. Assumiu-se como definição de discurso a proposta por Jacques Lacan, segundo a qual o discurso é condição para que haja laço social. O estudo constata que o discurso capitalista, aliado ao da ciência em sua versão tecnocientificista , tem, por um lado, legitimado a transferência de responsabilidades que outrora eram das famílias para as escolas e, por outro, transformado a educação escolar em mais uma mercadoria disponível ao consumo. Após a descrição pormenorizada do projeto que inspirou esta pesquisa, elencam-se alguns elementos que, diante dessa temática, podem nortear o trabalho do psicanalista em escolas. A conclusão deste estudo propõe que às escolas caberia a função de delimitar a abrangência com a qual o projeto de Orientação Vocacional tem sido proposto. A partir da teoria psicanalítica, não se propõe a definição de outros projetos como sendo melhores ou mais completos, em vez disso, reitera-se que a escolha de uma profissão é mais uma dentre as muitas escolhas com as quais o adolescente se verá confrontado, e, como toda escolha, será determinada pela posição fantasmática de cada um. Então, na escola, o aluno até poderá ser instruído sobre cursos e carreiras, mas não se aconselha a adoção de projetos que se proponham a instituir um outro que se prontifique a responder sobre o desejo dos adolescentes.The objective of this study is to address vocational guidance in schools, more precisely, projects designed for high-school students. From the experience of the author in a vocational guidance project in a private school in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, we observed that the choice of a career has migrated from the family environment to the school environment. By analyzing this change, this study highlights significant social, economic and cultural alterations that have contributed to transform Vocational Guidance in a (psycho) pedagogical project. The methodology used to investigate these alterations consisted of gathering ideas and ideals which by circulating discursively have defined actions in the fields of education. We assumed as the definition of discourse the one proposed by Jacques Lacan, according to which discourse is the condition for the existence of social bond. In this study we verify that the capitalist discourse, with the scientific discourse in its techno-scientistic version , has, on the one hand, legitimated transferring to the schools responsibilities that formerly belonged the family and, on the other hand, has transformed education in another commodity available for consumption. After thorough description of the project which inspired this study, we list some elements that, in the face of this theme, can guide the work of psychoanalysts in schools. In the conclusion of this study we propose that the schools limit the scope with which the Vocational Guidance project has been proposed. From the psychoanalytic theory, we do not propose a definition of other projects as being better or more complete on the contrary, it is emphasized that career choice is one choice amongst many which the adolescent will face and, as with all choices, it will be determined by the phantasmic position of the person. Therefore, in school, the student can even be instructed on courses and careers, but the adoption of projects to institute an other to give answers about the desires of the adolescents is not advised
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.
