Estudios longitudinales sobre el proceso de evaluación de los criterios periódicos de calificación y sus impactos en el establecimiento de nuevos parámetros 2020

This article presentes historical and conceptual conceptions about Scientific Journals since their appearance. Describes the role of the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Nivel Superior (CAPES) and its revanche in the develoment, consolidation and evaluation of graduate programs in Brazil. Emphasizes the changes that have taken place in the Qualis Journals criteria, in the attrbution of parameters and looks at the main impact over time. Regarding the methodological dynamics in progress, the collection of data and information was restricted to bibliographic and documentar survey, from the comparison of criteria and parameters in a longitudinal perspective. It is dedicated in a preamble way to point out that new Qualis trigger, such as the unique classification for each journal and classification by mother área, as well as the indexing regime in expressive databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. It appears that disagreements can be presente when the subject envolved leads to changes in criteria and parametes for Journals which diretly impacts the organic form of science; howerve, it is observed, from the analyzed documents, that for new áreas of Knowledge, the process must me revised, given the statement by Scientific institutions of the probable losses that may occur affecting the áreas in the main ones that make up the College of Social and Human Sciences.

Sometimes It’s Necessary to Break a Few Rules

In October of 2020, the University of Arizona’s College of Social and Behavioral Sciences hosted a lecture series called Womanpower. The final lecture was an interview between Michelle Téllez and Yalitza Aparicio—an Indigenous woman, actress, and activist. This interview transcript (originally conducted in Spanish) discusses Aparicio’s childhood, her experiences with discrimination, her role in the groundbreaking film Roma, and her activism on behalf of domestic workers and Indigenous peoples. In this interview, Téllez highlights issues of Indigenous rights, recognizing how Aparicio’s platform can bring visibility to the O’odham land defenders fighting for their sacred lands today, but also to Indigenous peoples fighting for their territories in Mexico, as alluded to in Roma. Téllez wanted to recognize the power that is ever-present in the bodies and minds of women workers who create possibilities despite their circumstances, and who maneuver between space and place, languages and cultures as they center homes, both their own and others. She points us to Aparicio’s role as a domestic worker to remind us of the silent but ever-present power of women. Téllez connects the interview with her own research and personal experiences growing up along the U.S./Mexico border in the cities of San Diego/Tijuana – where she was witness to the racial, gendered, and classed dynamics of power and exclusion.

DISTANCE EDUCATION IN THE U.S.: A PARADOX

Over the last several years distance education (DE) class offerings at U.S. universities and colleges have been increasing at a rate of approximately 10% or more per year (Allen & Seaman, 2014). While the effectiveness of DE classes vis-a-vis that of face-to-face (F2F) classes has been sufficiently documented, there are few studies that compare student evaluations of the two class delivery systems. Therefore, we sought to answer the question, is there a significant difference between student evaluations of the Teaching Methods and Styles (TM&S) of DE and F2F classes as measured on a student completed class and instructor survey, examined through the lens of Moore’s Transactional Distance Theory (TDT) constructs of student autonomy, dialogue and structure (1997, 2010, 2012)? Moore maintains that Transactional Distance (TD) is a psychological and pedagogical separation of student and instructor, as well as a geographical one. The twenty TM&S questions included in the survey data for 765 classes offered from September 6, 2011 to December 19, 2013 were collected and analyzed for classes identified as SOC 101 Introduction to Sociology through SOC 340 Applied Research in the Behavioral Sciences that are offered by the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences at a Mid-Atlantic Open University. A t-test analysis of variance was conducted and analyzed. The results of the study indicate that 16 of the 20 TM&S questions returned statistically significant results, 3 of 4 for student autonomy, 8 of 10 for dialogue and 5 of 6 for structure. Three of the TDT construct dialogue/interaction questions and two of the TDT construct structure questions returned medium effect size magnitudes. Three of the TM&S questions associated with the TDT construct autonomy returned statistically significant results with low effect size magnitudes. Based on the results of the study, we have concluded that psychological and pedagogical separation, or TD between student and instructor is reduced when the DE course structure encourages and requires increased dialogue and interaction.

Executive functioning impairments in premature children: Implications for neuropsychological research and classroom intervention.

Event Abstract Back to Event Executive functioning impairments in premature children: Implications for neuropsychological research and classroom intervention. Ashlee R. Loughan1* and Lauren A. Serpati2 1 Walden University, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences School of Psychology, United States 2 George Mason University, College of Education and Human Development, United States The premature birth rate has increased by 30 percent since the 1980’s, resulting in more than 500 thousand premature births annually [4]. Research indicates that preterm infants are at risk for persistent impairments in cognitive development [5],[6]. These impairments include executive functioning (EF) deficits, which subsequently result in learning challenges during the school years [1],[3]. Along with EF deficits, preterm birth also effects the structural development of the brain [2]. Recent MRI studies have linked prematurity with structural brain abnormalities including ventricular enlargement; white matter damage; thinning of the corpus callosum; delayed myelination; smaller basal ganglia, amygdala, and corpus collosum; along with decreased hippocampal formation [2],[5]. Educational research additionally reveals that most low birth weight children will at some point in their academic career receive special education services if not provided continuous assistance. As a result, an investigation identifying the relationship between EF deficits and the underpinning brain irregularities in preterm children is proposed. Determining the cognitive challenges of premature children at a young age is essential for their success in both school and beyond. More investigations correlating brain region impairments to EF may assist in predicting later cognitive obstacles. Thus, detecting precise abnormalities from birth might enhance psychologist and educator abilities to effectively develop early treatment interventions in those challenged by EF demands during the academic years. Researchers in both the fields of education and neuroscience are urged to inform themselves about this high-risk, yet marginally understood group, so that clinicians, teachers, and service providers can look to the future and effectively manage the EF deficits observed by this population in school settings.

Dynamic center-of-gravity effects in consonant–vowel transitions

Lublinskaja has reported that dynamic changes in the spectral center-of-gravity (COG) of one formant in selected Russian vowels led to changes in the identification of the vowel. Movement of the COG was effected by simultaneous amplitude modulation of two formants placed at the end points of the desired frequency transition [Iyer et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109, 2294 (2001)]. The present study explores whether such COG effects will extend into the processing of consonant–vowel transitions (CVs). A [dɑ]–[gɑ] continuum was generated using a Klatt synthesizer with a 50-ms CV transition and a 200-ms vowel. The onset of F3 varied from 2018–2818 Hz in 80-Hz step. The F3 of the vowel remained constant at 2527 Hz. Three different stimulus sets differed in terms of whether the F3 transition was a: (1) formant, (2) FM tone, or (3) virtual frequency (VF) glide. In the VF stimuli, the frequencies of two tones matched the onset or offset frequencies of the F3 transition and modulation of their amplitudes produced a gliding spectral COG. Preliminary results indicate that listener performance is not strongly affected by changing the means by which spectral changes to F3 are made.

Just discriminable change of velocity of a simulated moving sound source

The Doppler effect refers to the frequency change observed for a moving sound source. The listener will observe a higher than emitted frequency in front of the moving source and a lower frequency behind it. Although the existence of the Doppler effect has been long documented, relatively little experimental work has investigated the human perceptual response to frequency and intensity changes due to moving sound sources. This experiment determined the just discrminable change of velocity of a computer simulated moving sound source. Subjects were tested at 500, 1000, and 4000 Hz for reference velocities of 1, 2, 4, and 8 m/s. Signal duration was 500 ms. A 2-Q,2-AFC adaptive procedure determined the listener’s velocity difference limen (DL). At 500 Hz, the smallest DL was 10.46 m/s at reference velocity 8 m/s. The DL increases as the reference velocity decreases. This pattern is evident at all tested source frequencies. Weber fractions were calculated for both velocity DLs and frequency deviation. The results indicate that both velocity DL and frequency deviation increase as reference decreases, signifying that Weber’s law does not hold for source velocity and frequency.

Role Changes and Psychological Weil-Being: Variations in Effects by Gender and Role Repertoire

This analysis examines the relationship between multiple social roles and psychological well-being by focusing on specific combinations of the normatively expected social roles of spouse, childrearer, and worker in a large representative sample of urban adults. Cross-sectional analyses of current role repertoires and current psychological symptoms are supplemented by consideration of how changes in role repertoires are related to changes in symptom level. For both men and women, marriage and employment have positive effects, but the impact of childrearing responsibilities ranges from neutral to negative. The advantages of employment are most pronounced for married fathers and unmarried mothers, those of marriage strongest for mothers without jobs; the disadvantages of childrearing are strongest for unemployed husbands and unemployed unmarried women. Specific role combinations, not summary role counts, are meaningfully associated with psychological symptoms: distress is most likely when one's role repertoire departs from the normal expectable situation for one's age and gender. Much of the considerable literature on the relationship between social roles and psychological well-being has emphasized the problems of role strain, role conflict, and role overload which are presumed to accompany multiple role enactments (Goode 1960). For example, discussion of women's difficulties has focused on possible conflicts among the demands of children, husbands, and employers (Aneshensel, Frerichs & Clark 1981; Gove, Hughes & Style 1983). For men, the demands of family life are seen as competing with expectations from the world of work (Pleck 1984). *An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Second National Conference on Social Stress, University of New Hampshire, 1986.
