Get PDFThis research aims to describe student’s perceptions of the use Google Meet during the limited face-to-face learning period at English Education Study Program University of Billfath. This research employed descriptive quantitative research techniques in the form of surveys. An online questionnaire created with Google Forms was used as the research instrument. The result of student’s answer through the questionnaire given showed good category. There were 60% of students strongly agree with the statement that Google was easily accessible, 52% of students strongly agree with the use of Google Meet, they could still understand the material given during lectures, 44% of students strongly agree that the use of google meet during online learning was effective, and 40% of students were highly motivated to participate in learning by using google meet. Thus, it could be concluded that online learning using Google Meet during the limited face-to-face learning period was quite good and effective
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
The Effect of Game-Based Learning Through the Snake and Ladder Game on Students’ Speaking Skills
Get PDFSpeaking was crucial skill to be learnt by student in order to talk with others from around the world. Students would need to rehearse to be able to express their ideas in English. The students’ Speaking skill was developed in the classroom when they have English class though in daily activities, they did not speak English. It made speaking as one of the most challenging things for students to grasp. The use of a good teaching method or media was really important in the teaching speaking process. The snake and ladder game was used as a medium by the researcher. This research was using experimental research with pre-experimental design (one group pretest-posttest). The data itself was analysed by using statistical through SPSS program. The participants of the research were the eleventh grades students of MA Falahiyah Lamongan. The data showed the students’ basic speaking skill of eleventh grades students in MA Falahiyah Lamongan were poor, because most of the students score were under the minimum score criteria. There were only 13% students passed the test. After getting the treatment, the result of the finding of post-test, the data showed the students’ speaking skill were improved because most of the students got enough score to complete the test. The result of the calcutaion of paired sample t-test with the sign (2 tailed) the result was .000, it was lower than 0.05 as level of significant. It means that the use of game-based learning through the snake and ladder game to teach speaking gave significant effect on students’ speaking skills
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ROUNDTABLE TECHNIQUE ON STUDENT’S WRITING SKILLS IN DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
Get PDFThis research aimed to assess the effectiveness of implementing the roundtable technique in enhancing descriptive writing skills among eighth-grade students at SMP Simanjaya Lamongan. The research utilized a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Data analysis involved the application of a paired sample t-test to ascertain the presence of a significant effect before and after the intervention. This research included a sample of 30 students from the eighth grade at SMP Simanjaya Lamongan. The findings of the research indicated a notable improvement in students' writing skills when employing the roundtable technique. This was evident in the average scores obtained by students on both the pretest and posttest. The mean score increased from 73.60 during the pretest to 83.03 in the posttest. The researcher then conducted a paired sample t-test to address the research question. The results of the t-test analysis revealed that the p-value (probability value) was below the significance level α (0.00 < 0.05). Consequently, the null hypothesis (Ho), asserting no significant effect of the roundtable technique on students' descriptive writing skills, was rejected. The acceptance of the alternative hypothesis led to the conclusion that the roundtable technique had a significant positive effect on the students' writing skills in producing descriptive texts
The Effectiveness of Project-Based Learning Through Spotify Podcasts Media in Teaching Speaking
Get PDFThis research was intended to measure the effectiveness of project-based learning on students speaking skillsthrough Spotify Podcasts as media of teaching speaking. The research design used in this research was a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with the quantitative method. This research design was treated with no control group.The research was conducted in the odd semester at eleventh grade of MA MambausSholihinGresik in academic year 2022 / 2023. The research took place on extra hours after school which was completed for 8 consecutive days, and the duration was 30 minutes in each meeting.The participants of this research consist of 25 students. The researcher used Paired Sample T-test to determine the results of hypothesis testing. Based on the data analysis and discussion of the research data that has been done, it can be concluded that the use of podcasts can affect students' speaking skills.

It indicated that Project-Based Learning through Podcast on Spotify could give significant effect on students’ speaking skills
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
