uau... não fazia ideia!

No final de Setembro de 2010, o blogue apresentava um total de 765 mensagens escritas ao longo de cinco anos de existência, numa média de aproximadamente 13 mensagens por mês.

sobre o blogue

quando estiver pronto, partilharei ideias sobre esta análise que estou a fazer ao próprio blogue. para já, é interessante a quantidade de posts com conteúdo humorístico ser semelhante à de posts com comentários acerca da (péssima) gestão de tempo.

noutro registo, como é que desde 2005 eu escrevo sobre falta de tempo e trabalho acumulado?!? isto nunca pára??!!

aprendizagens para quando faço review

A light-hearted look at peer review, taken from the Wiley-Blackwell journal, Environmental Microbiology. Our referees, the Editorial Board Members and ad hoc reviewers, are busy, serious individuals who give selflessly of their precious time to improve manuscripts submitted to Environmental Microbiology. But, once in a while, their humor (or admiration) gets the better of them. Here are some quotes from reviews made over the past year.

- This paper is desperate. Please reject it completely and then block the author's email ID so they can't use the online system in future.

- The type of lava vs. diversity has no meaning if only one of each sample is analyzed; multiple samples are required for generality. This controls provenance (e.g. maybe some beetle took a pee on one or the other of the samples, seriously skewing relevance to lava composition).

- Very much enjoyed reading this one, and do not have any significant comments. Wish I had thought of this one.

- It is sad to see so much enthusiasm and effort go into analyzing a dataset that is just not big enough.

- The biggest problem with this manuscript, which has nearly sucked the will to live out of me, is the terrible writing style.

- The abstract and results read much like a laundry list.

- There was little I could think of to improve this nice paper.

- Ken, I would suggest that EM is setting up a fund that pays for the red wine reviewers may need to digest manuscripts like this one. (Ed.: this excellent suggestion was duly proposed to the Publisher. However, given the logistical difficulties of problem-solving within narrow time frames, combined with the known deleterious effect of transport on good wine, a modification of the remedy was adopted, namely that Editors would act as proxies for reviewers with said digestive complaints.)

- Merry X-mas! First, my recommendation was reject with new submission, because it is necessary to investigate further, but reading a well written manuscript before X-mas makes me feel like Santa Claus

- I have to admit that I would have liked to reject this paper because I found the tone in the Reply to the Reviewers so annoying. It may be irritating to deal with reviewer's comments (believe me, I know!) but it is not wise to let your irritation seep through every line you write!

- Season's Greetings! I apologise for my slow response but a roast goose prevented me from answering emails for a few days.

- I started to review this but could not get much past the abstract.

- Hopeless – Seems like they have been asleep and are not up on recent work on metagenomics.

- This paper is awfully written. There is no adequate objective and no reasonable conclusion. The literature is quoted at random and not in the context of argument. I have doubts about the methods and whether the effort of data gathering is sufficient to arrive at a useful conclusion.

- The main emphasis in the title is the use of a widely used method. This is not very exciting news. The authors are not to be blamed here. Based on titles seen in journals, many authors seem to be more fascinated these days by their methods than by their science. The authors should be encouraged to abstract the main scientific (i.e., novel) finding into the title.

- This is a long, but excellent report. I had considered asking for EMSAs, but these will not significantly improve the study. It hurts me a little to have so little criticism of a manuscript.

- Always dear EMI takes care of its referees, providing them with entertainment for the holiday time in between Xmas and New Year. Plus the server shows, as usual, its inhuman nature and continues to send reminding messages. Well, between playing tennis on the Wii, eating and drinking, I found time and some strength of mind to do this work.

- At the risk of appearing unkind, the authors' main selling point for this paper seems to be that it is the biggest soil pyrosequencing project so far. I fear we are entering a phase of repeating all of the studies carried out over the past 15 years, but now using pyrosequencing.

- I suppose that I should be happy that I don't have to spend a lot of time reviewing this dreadful paper; however I am depressed that people are performing such bad science.

- The ecological theory invoked appears more as an afterthought than the true driving ambition of the study.

O número da Sísifo, Revista de Ciências da Educação Unidade de I&D de Ciências da Educação da Universidade de Lisboa, sobre Investigação em Ciências da Educação vem mesmo a calhar para as leituras (e escrita!) em curso para o doutoramento e para as discussões na EERA. Haja bons alinhamentos!

Ciclo de Seminários Infância & Educação

é um dos meus orgulhos do momento... conseguir reunir pessoas em torno de bons temas com boas discussões e, espera-se, muita reflexão e construção de conhecimento!

algumas fotos, tentando retomar a minha linha de vida aqui no blogue...

tive a imensa fortuna de contar com a margarida logo na primeira sessão.



seguiu-se outra prova do imenso privilégio de que beneficio, quando a gabriela e a aida aceitaram vir no segundo dia.




espero encontrar forma de trazer a elisabete já em janeiro!

obrigada a quem aceitou partilhar ideias e desafios e a quem agarrou a oportunidade de mergulhar em reflexões e discussões sobre infância e educação.

passos atrás

as notícias voltam a ser sobre aulas e escola. desolada por não ter supervisão este semestre, por ter ficado sem colegas/amigas, por estar longe das pessoas que todos os anos me acolhiam em lamego.

resta-me a escrita, ou a vontade de escrita...

doidinha a ler sobre didáctica. para já, gostei de perceber a distinção entre:

"general didactics (didactica generalis)" e "special didactics (didactica specialis)"

e dentro da segunda: "some period of life (Stufendidaktik), some content (Fachdidaktik), some
broader content area of education (Bereichsdidaktik), or leisure didactics (Freizeitdidaktik)"

isto na tradição germânica...

da suécia destaco a "schuldidaktik - school didactics: didáctica referente a actividades de ensino e aprendizagem em contextos escolares" e a próxima à stufendidaktik, a "stadiedidaktik"

bom, bom é tentar ler alemão e sueco...

recolhidos todos os dados, é agora tempo de escrever, escrever, escrever... tenho tentado, mas não é fácil.

porque é fim de ano, tempo de férias e descanso e o corpo, o cérebro, as ideias, e decididamente a capacidade de escrita!, parecem precisar de urgente descanso - mas não há tempo.

o programa do ecer 2010 está online.

outras novidades para a conferência deste ano estão a ser preparadas pela pontydysgu:

July 25th, 2010 by Graham Attwell

Firstly we have agreed a hashtag – #ECER2010 and are encouraging delegates to use the hashtag.

We have set a twitter account – EERA_ECER – and are sending out regular tweets (followers very welcome). We have also added a plug in to the ECER web site to accumulate our tweets – http://www.eera-ecer.eu/ecer/ecer2010/twitter-news/?no_cache=1

We have also set up an ECER2010 group on Flickr and are asking delegates to add their photos to that group. Just go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/ecer2010/ and join the group.

We are planning to stream a number of the keynote sessions – more details soon.

We will be making short videos with twelve of the different network conveners as well as vox pops with conference delegates.

And finally, we will be broadcasting 3 special issues of the Sounds of the Bazaar LIVE internet radio programme from 1300 – 1330 Finnish time (12-12.30 Central European time) on 25, 26 and 27 August. Point your browser at http://radio.jiscemerge.org.uk:80/Emerge.m3u and this will open the LIVE radio stream in your MP3 player of choice. You can also send us your questions and comments by Twitter using the #ECER2010 hashtag. And to follow Sounds of the Bazaar LIVE events throughout the summer join the SoB Facebook group.
