No full textAbstract: The objectives of this research were: (1) to find out whether or not the metacognitive strategy instruction has any significant effect on students' reading comprehension achievement, and (2) to find out wheter or not me metacognitive strategy instruction has any significant effect on metacognitive awareness.
This research employed quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent groups. The population of this research was the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 8 Makassar in 2011/2012 academic year with total number of population was 240 students. The sample was 80 students which selected by using cluster random sampling. In collecting data, there were three main instruments were used: reading comprehension test, metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategy Inventory (MARSI) questionnaire and interview guide (semi-Structured interview).
Data from reading comprehension test and MARSI questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Data from interview were analyzed using content analysis.
The results of the research were: (1) there was a significant effect on students' reading comprehension archievement through metacognitive strategy instruction (2) there was a significant effect on students' metacognitive awareness through metacognitive strategy instruction. It was proved by the probability value (p) at the student’ score of MARSI questionnaire was lower than alpha (.000 < 0.05)

The Application of Probing Prompting Learning Models in Mastering Foreign Language Vocabulary
No full textAbstract
This study aims to obtain data about the probing prompting learning model in vocabulary mastery of the students of the Foreign Language Education Study Program, Department of Foreign Language Education, in a public university. This research is classroom action research conducted in two cycles. The subjects of this study were 30 students of the 2019/2020 Odd Semester of Foreign Language Education Study Program. The research data consists of two types, namely, qualitative data and quantitative data. Qualitative data were obtained through observation, while quantitative data were obtained through the results of the first cycle and second cycle vocabulary mastery tests. The data were analyzed using percentage techniques. The results showed that the vocabulary mastery with the percentage of values obtained by the German Language Education Study Program students in the first cycle reached 67.65%, and the second cycle reached 84.52%. These results indicate that the application of the probing-prompting learning model increases the mastery of German vocabulary for students of the German Language Education Study Program, Department of Foreign Language Education of a public university
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
