Optimizing students' mathematical critical and creative thinking skills through the flip-a-team model with e-learning
No full textIn the present digital age, the utilization of e-learning platforms in education is becoming increasingly significant. This is especially true in the field of Mathematics Education, where there exists a challenge to enhance students' critical and creative thinking abilities. This research aimed to investigate the improvement in students' critical and creative mathematical thinking abilities through the implementation of a team project-based model, Flip-a-Team, within UNP's e-learning platform. A quasi-experimental research design was used, applying a post-test control group approach. The sample involved 64 students from a mathematics study program who were enrolled in the July - December 2022 semester. These students were divided into two groups: 32 students in the experimental group (Class A) that was instructed through the Flip-a-team model, and 32 students in the control group (Class B) that experienced problem-based learning. Based on an independent t-test, the results demonstrated that the mathematical learning process incorporating the Flip-a-Team model had a positive and significant impact on the students' critical and creative mathematical thinking abilities. The Flip-a-Team model is recommended for implementation in mathematics instruction. The UNP e-learning platform could serve as a feasible solution for digitally based mathematics education, particularly in fostering students' critical and creative thinking abilities in mathematics
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
OLYMPIAD MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR IMPROVING OF TEACHER PROFESSIONALISM MGMP SMP REGENCY OF AGAM WEST REGION
No full textBased on observations and interviews with several mathematics teachers of Agam west region, the teacher's lack of knowledge about non-routine materials and problems in mathematical olympiad. Teachers rarely attend the olympic training so that teachers do not know much about non-routine questions, techniques to solve the problem. Based on these observations and the facts there is and so the importance of making the strengthening of mathematics material for teachers. The purpose of this article is to provide the strengthening of mathematics olympiad material so that teachers can improve their professional development, especially in making and solving the olympic problem in teachers of SMP MGMP west Agam District. Based on the evaluation it can be seen that generally the participants of community service in general have sufficiently understood the material in designing the problem and how to solve the existing problems in the Olympics in order to improve the quality of OSN participants from west Agam District. This success is shown by the teacher is able to design and make problems and solve problems related to mathematics olympiad.</jats:p
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
Implementation Of Metacognitive Approach To Self-Regulated Learning And Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills Of Grade X Students
Full text linkThis study aims to describe the achievement of mathematical problem solving ability and learning independence of class X students of SMAN 1 Angkola Barat with a metacognitive approach. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with class X1 as the sample. The research instruments used were problem solving ability tests and learning independence questionnaires. The results of the study showed that using the Mann-Whitney U test, it was found that the problem solving ability of the experimental class had an average of 40.37 and the control class with an average of 30.63 and a sig. value of 0.0215. This means sig. <0.05. The conclusion is that the problem solving ability of students who use a metacognitive approach is better than the problem solving ability of students who use conventional learning. The learning independence of students in the experimental class obtained an average of 43.20 and the control class 27.80 and a sig. value. <0.05 or 0.001 <0.05, it is concluded that the learning independence of students taught with a metacognitive approach is better than the learning independence of students taught with conventional learnin
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
