Optimizing Merdeka Curriculum in West Aceh: Challenges and Opportunities in Education
Get PDFThis study evaluates the implementation of the Independent Curriculum in West Aceh District and its significant implications for local education policies. Through comprehensive regional-level analysis, this study explores its potential impact on enhancing educational quality. This research uses survey methods, interviews, and document analysis to understand better the dynamics of the Independent Curriculum's implementation in West Aceh. The findings indicate positive outcomes such as curriculum flexibility, freedom in teaching methodologies, and responsiveness to local conditions, which align with the principles of freedom-based learning approaches. This is consistent with literature emphasizing the importance of allowing teachers and schools to design a curriculum more relevant to local needs and student characteristics. However, challenges such as resource limitations, understanding of educational freedom, low community participation, and resistance to change reflect implementation issues identified in the literature. Consequently, implementing the Independent Curriculum necessitates careful strategies to overcome these obstacles and ensure its effectiveness. Improvement in teacher quality through further professional development aligns with research affirming that well-trained teachers positively impact student learning outcomes. These findings contribute to understanding the Independent Curriculum's implementation locally, serving as a valuable reference for policymakers and educational practitioners in similar regions
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

دور معهد الجامعة في ترقية كفاءة الطلبة بالجامعات الإسلامية الحكومية في أتشيه
No full textإن بين الجامعات الإسلامية الحكومية والمعاهد الإسلامية التقليدية فجوة تثير بعض المشكلات عند المجتمع، حيث يعتبر خريجو الجامعات الإسلامية الحكومية غير قادرين على القيام بدور العلماء في المجتمع. لذلك، يجب على الجامعات الإسلامية الحكوميةأن تتحول إلى أشكال جديدة تلبية لمتطلبات المجتمع. ولذلك، تم إنشاء معهد الجامعة الذي يطبق فيه منهجًا خاصًا يمكن أن يؤهل الطلبة ليصبحوا أكاديميين وعلماء في نفس الوقت.يهدُف هذا البحث إلى معرفة المنهج التعليمي المطبق في معهد الجامعة للجامعات الإسلامية الحكومية الواردة في أتشيه، ومعرفة الآثار من تطبيق ذلك المنهجفي كفاءة الطلبة، واكتشافالمعوقات التي تواجههاالطلبة.ولقد استُخدِم في هذا البحث مدخل كيفي بوصفه بحثًا وصفيًّا. وأما نتائج البحث فتدل على أن المنهج الدراسيالمطبق في معهد الجامعة للجامعات الإسلامية الحكوميةالثلاث الواردة في محافظة أتشيهيحتوي على جزئين؛ منهج رسمي ومنهج إيضافي. وأنكفاءات الطلبة في هذه معاهد الجامعة الثلاث متفاوتة،حيث تميل كفاءةطلبة معهد الجامعة بجامعة الرانيري Banda Acehإلى تحفيظ القرآن، بينما تتمثل كفاءة طلبة معهد الجامعة بجامعة بجامعة Langsaأكثر في مهارتي الخطابة والقيادة، وأما كفاءة الكلبة بجامعة Lhokseumaweتضرب إلى الجوانب المعرفية مثل إجادة اللغة العربية والإنجليزية وفهم كتب التراث. وأن المعوقات المواجهة من قبل معاهد الجامعة الثلاث منها عدم توفر المباني السكنية لاستيعاب جميع الطلبة في كل العام الدراسي، لذلك لا يجب على جميع الطلبة بجامعة Langsa وجامعة Lhokseumawe الالتحاق بمعهد الجامعة، وبالرغم من أن جامعة الرانيري Banda Aceh توجب على جميع طلبتها الالتحاق بمعهد الجامعة إلا أنه في مدة ستة أشهر أي في فصل دراسي واحد فقط.There exists a gap between state Islamic universities and traditional Islamic institutions, which raises some societal issues. Graduates of state Islamic universities are considered incapable of fulfilling the role of scholars in the community. Therefore, state Islamic universities need to transform into new forms to meet societal needs. To address this, the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah (university institute) was established, implementing a special curriculum designed to qualify students to become both academics and scholars simultaneously.This research aims to identify the educational curriculum applied at the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah in the state Islamic universities in Aceh, examine the effects of implementing this curriculum on students' competencies, and uncover the obstacles faced by students. A qualitative approach was used in this study, as it is a descriptive research. The research results indicate that the curriculum implemented at the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah in the three state Islamic universities in Aceh consists of two parts: a formal curriculum and an additional curriculum. Students' competencies at these three university institutes vary. The competency of students at the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah of Ar-Raniry University in Banda Aceh leans toward Qur’an memorization. Meanwhile, the competency of students at the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah of Langsa University focuses more on public speaking and leadership skills. As for the students at the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah of Lhokseumawe University, their competency emphasizes cognitive aspects such as proficiency in Arabic and English and understanding classical Islamic texts.Among the challenges faced by the three Ma’had Al-Jami’ah are the lack of dormitory facilities to accommodate all students each academic year. As a result, not all students at Langsa and Lhokseumawe universities are required to join the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah. Although Ar-Raniry University in Banda Aceh mandates all its students to join the Ma’had Al-Jami’ah, the program lasts only six months, equivalent to one semesterAdanya kesenjangan antara Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam (PTKIN) dan Pondok Pesantren, dimana alumni PTKIN dianggap tidak dapat berperan atau menggantikan peran ulama di tengah-tengah masyarakatmenyebabkan PTKIN dituntut untuk bertransformasi ke dalam bentuk baru berupa Ma’had al-Jami’ah.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kurikulum yang diterapkan pada Ma’had al-Jami’ah PTKIN di Aceh, mengetahui implikasi penerapan kurikulum terhadap kompetensi mahasiswa pada Ma’had al-Jami’ah PTKIN di Aceh, dan mengetahui kendala-kendala yang dihadapi Ma’had al-Jami’ah PTKIN di Aceh dalam meningkatkan kompetensi mahasiswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualilatif, dimana dalam pelaksanaannya Peneliti melakukan observasi, wawancara dan dikumentasisebagai instrumen penelitian. Adapaun di antara hasil penelitian ialah; Pertama: kurikulumyang diterapkan oleh Ma’had al-Jamiah di tiga PTKIN di Aceh secara umum dapat dibedakan ke dalam 2 (dua) kategori, yaitu kurikulm informal dan kurikulum formal. Kedua: mahasiswa UIN Ar-Raniry yang mengikuti program Ma’had al-Jami’ah memiliki kompetensi yang lebih mengarah kepada tahfizh al-Qur’an. Sedangkan mahasiswa yang mengikuti program Ma’had al-Jami’ah IAIN Langsa cenderung memiliki kompetensi keterampilan seperti dalam hal public speaking dan kepemimpinan dalam keorganisasian. Adapun mahasiswa yang mengikuti program Ma’had al-Jami’ah IAIN Lhokseumawe lebih unggul dalam kompetensi pengetahuan (kognitif) seperti penguasaan bahasa Arab dan Inggris dan juga kitab kuning.Ketiga:diantara kendala yang dihadapi Ma’had al-Jami’ah PTKIN di Aceh adalah masih kurangnya ketersediaan gedung asrama yang mampu menampung seluruh mahasiswa baru di setiap tahunnya. Sehingga dua dari tiga Ma’had al-Jami’ah (IAIN Langsa dan Lhokseumawe) tidak mewajibkan program Ma’had al-Jami’ah kepada mahasiswa. Sedangkan UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh mewajibkan seluruh mahasiswa untuk mengikuti program Ma’had al-Jami’ah tetapi dengan durasi waktu yang relatif lebih singkat dibanding durasi waktu pada Ma’had al-Jami’ah IAIN Langsan dan Lhokseumawe yang masing-masing berdurasi satu tahun atau dua semester
