Get PDFPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan modul berbasis STEM untuk meningkatkan literasi STEM siswa pada aspek pengetahuan, sikap terhadap STEM serta untuk menangkap profil proses STEM siswa dan persepsi siswa terhadap penerapan modul berbasis STEM. Sampel penelitian ini terdiri dari satu kelas siswa kelas 7 di satu sekolah menengah di Bandung, Indonesia. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan adalah DDR menurut Peffers, dkk dengan tahapan; mengidentifikasi masalah, menjelaskan tujuan, merancang dan mengembangkan produk, menguji produk, mengevaluasi hasil pengujian dan mengkomunikasikan hasil pengujian. Modul berbasis STEM diujikan kepada 32 siswa dengan menerapkan engineering design process, pengetahuan sains dan matematika untuk merancang dan membuat bangunan tahan gempa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa modul berbasis STEM yang dikembangkan mampu memenuhi semua karakteristik modul yang baik serta kriteria modul pembelajaran berbasis STEM yang baik yang tidak ditemukan dalam modul yang sudah ada. Selain itu, modul berbasis STEM ini efektif untuk meningkatkan literasi STEM siswa, dibuktikan dengan hasil perhitungan nilai gain yang dinormalisasi () 0.45 yang menunjukan bahwa terdapat peningkatan yang menengah, sikap siswa terhadap sains dikategorikan memiliki sikap yang baik dengan skor rata-rata 76.67 dan profil proses STEM siswa pada kelompok tertentu yang melakukan kegiatan engineering design process sesuai. Semua hasil didukung dengan respon positif yang diperoleh dari siswa terhadap penerapan modul berbasis STEM di semua indikator. Struktur akhir modul berbasis STEM harus memiliki bahan konsep dasar, mengeksplorasi kasus, mendefinisikan masalah, mengusulkan solusi, solusi desain, membangun produk, produk uji, mendesain ulang, dan refleksi.;--This research examined the development of STEM based module to enhance student’s STEM literacy on knowledge aspect, attitude towards STEM as well as to capture student’s profile of STEM process and student’s perception towards the implementation of STEM based module. Sample of this study consist of one class of 7th grader students at one secondary school in Bandung, Indonesia. The research methodology is DDR from Peffers, et al with stages; identify the problem, describe the objectives, design and develop product, test the product, evaluate testing result and communicate testing result. To check its effectiveness it was tried to 32 students that applied engineering design processes, mathematics, and science knowledge to design and create an earthquake proof building. The result showed that developed STEM based module is able to fulfil all characteristics of good module as well as good STEM based learning module criteria that is not found in any existing module. Moreover, this STEM-based module is effective to improve students’ STEM literacy, it can be proven by students’ result on their knowledge understanding improvement which resulted normalized gain () score 0.45, student’s attitude towards science is categorized as good with the average score of 76.67 and student’s profile of STEM process is high on certain groups as they follow engineering design process step by step. All of the results are supported with positive response obtained from students towards the implementation of STEM-based module in all indicators. The final structure of STEM-based module shall have basic concept materials, exploring cases, define problem, propose solution, design solution, construct product, test product, re-design, and reflection
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.
