Get PDFKajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti kesan pembelajaran berasaskan
masalah (PBM) terhadap penguasaan kemahiran generik (dari aspek kemahiran berfikir
kreatif, kemahiran kerjasama kumpulan, kemahiran komunikasi lisan dan kemahiran
membuat keputusan) dan pencapaian akademik pelajar di Politeknik Malaysia. Kajian
kuasi-eksperimen dijalankan ke atas 120 orang pelajar Diploma Kejuruteraan Awam
yang mengikuti mata pelajaran Mekanik Struktur 2. Kumpulan pelajar melibatkan
kumpulan eksperimen dan kumpulan kawalan dan kajian ini meliputi sepuluh minggu
pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam Fasa 1 dan Fasa 2 dan lapan minggu dalam Fasa 3
sepanjang program Latihan Industri. Praujian dan pascaujian dilaksanakan dan dapatan

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
PENGGUNAAN KAD JAHIT BAGI MENINGKATKAN KEMAHIRAN JAHITAN ASAS
Get PDFKajian ini adalah tentang penggunaan kaedah KAD JAHIT dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran Reka bentuk dan Teknologi . KAD JAHIT adalah kertas manila kad yang telah ditebuk untuk membentuk lubang-lubang yang sebaris sama saiz. Objektif kajian ini secara umumnya adalah untuk meningkatkan kemahiran pelajar dalam menjahit jahitan mata asas iaitu jahitan kia , jahitan jelujur kasar dan jelujur halus dengan menggunakan kaedah KAD JAHIT dan juga memperbaiki amalan pengajaran dan pembelajaran guru. Secara khususnya pula adalah untuk memastikan 100% pelajar dapat menghasilkan jahitan asas . Seramai 12 orang pelajar Tahun 4 yang terdiri daripada 8 orang pelajar lelaki dan 4 orang pelajar perempuan terlibat dalam kajian ini. Tinjauan awal telah dilaksanakan melalui penelitian dokumen dan soal selidik. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan murid-murid mengalami kesukaran untuk menghasilkan jahitan asas kerana kali pertama mempelajari kemahiran menjahit , di samping mempunyai perasaan takut dan bombing sewaktu sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Setelah mengaplikasikan kaedah KAD JAHIT , didapati pelajar memberikan lebih tumpuan terhadap aktiviti pengajaran dan pembelajaran dan 90% pelajar mendapat gred A
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
Improving a Communication Skill Through the Learning Approach Towards the Environment of Engineering Classroom
No full textAbstractThe dominant pedagogy for engineering education, especially for numerical subject still remains “chalk and talk”. Recent years in engineering education have encouraged teachers to engage their students in various forms of communication. Therefore, this paper presents a learning approach towards the environment of the engineering classroom in improving a communication skill. The quasi experimental study was conducted involving the engineering students, which comprised one experimental group and one control group. The learning process covered a period of 8 weeks for teaching and learning in phase 1 and phase 2. In the learning process, students learn how to analyse the unstructured problem given among the small group members and develop an idea into the discussion. Through this approach, students acquire communication skills in generating the ideas. The role of learning approach used to enhance the capability of communication skills among students. This study was used to measure the influence of the communication skills towards the students’ academic achievement and to measure the percentage of the students’ acceptance of this learning approach. The results of this study show that the effects of this learning approach upon the capability of students’ communication skills and student learning approach were significant
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
