How do the STAD cooperative learning model, conventional methods, and student confidence affect football learning outcomes?
No full textThis study evaluates the impact of the STAD-type cooperative learning model versus the conventional model on football learning outcomes for Grade VIII students at Junior High School 2 Sijunjung, focusing on students' confidence levels. It addresses the low football learning outcomes associated with conventional teaching methods, which often lead to reduced engagement. The research aims to explore the interaction between learning models and student confidence, compare the effectiveness of both models, and examine differences in outcomes for high and low confidence students. Using a quasi-experimental method, the study involved 82 male students, categorized by confidence level and instructed through either the STAD or conventional model. Data were collected via confidence questionnaires and football skill tests, analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test. Findings indicate that the STAD model is more effective in improving football learning outcomes, particularly for students with low confidence. Conversely, high confidence students performed better with the conventional approach. This highlights the significant role of confidence in learning outcomes and suggests that collaborative settings benefit less confident learners. The study concludes that tailoring teaching methods to students' confidence levels can enhance engagement and performance. Future recommendations include strategies to boost student confidence, further improving physical education outcomes
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
Development of an E-Module for Physical Education, Sports, and Health Learning in Martial Arts (Karate) for High School Students in Fase E.
Full text linkPhysical Education (PJOK) develops students' physical and character skills through sports like Karate. However, students struggle to learn basic techniques (Kihon, Kata, Kumite) with conventional methods. A multimedia E-Module was developed to enhance understanding, especially for tech-savvy Generation Z students. This R&D study used the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Padang, data was collected via questionnaires, tests, and observations. The E-Module includes videos, images, and audio for interactive learning. The results show that the PJOK Karate Learning E-Module was successfully developed and tested. The E-Module integrates multimedia elements such as images, videos, and audio to facilitate better comprehension of basic Karate techniques. Validity tests yielded high scores in language (91.67%), content (95%), and media (98.33%), while reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.638. Practicality assessments from both students and teachers were highly positive, ranging from 84.96% to 100%. Additionally, the E-Module proved highly effective, with student effectiveness scores between 82.32%–85.26% and teacher evaluations ranging from 92%–99%. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the Karate Learning E-Module is a valid, practical, and effective tool for enhancing students' understanding and performance in Karate. Its multimedia-based approach aligns with the learning preferences of Generation Z, making it a valuable resource for modern PJOK educatio
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
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
