    Full text link
    Students’ interest in mathematics is very influential to the achievement of learning outcomes, so the teacher is recommended to utilize the precise approach to enhance students’ mathematics interest. This study aims to analyze the achievement of mathematics students’ interest using the Concrete-Representation-Abstract (CRA) approach refers to primer mathematical skills. The study uses a quasi-experimental and a post-test design. The students in grade VII are the population in this study and use two groups were purposely selected, an experimental group that receives CRA and a control group that gets common learning (CL). The result shows that the mathematics interest’ of students who received the CRA approach is higher than students who only received CL. Refers to the indicator of students’ mathematics interest, the interaction with a teacher or friend to discuss the material scale gets the high score, and the lower score at the indicator diligently solving the assignment.Keywords: The Concrete-Representation-Abstract approach, mathematics interest.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v23i3.pp894-90

    Enhancing Students’ Mathematical Representation Ability Using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Approach

    Mathematical representation ability is basic for others’ mathematical ability, such as understanding ability, communication ability, reasoning ability, and problem-solving ability. The purpose of this research was to analyze the enhance students’ mathematics representation ability using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Approach in the group (CPA-G) based on prior mathematical ability. The research method used the quasi-experimental with pre-response and post-response design. The population of this research was students grade VII. This research uses two classes which selected purposely, an experimental group that receives CPA-G and a control group that received regular learning (RL). Prior mathematical ability and mathematical representation ability tests were used as an instrument in this research. The result shows that the mathematical representation ability of students in high and middle of prior mathematical ability category, who received CPA-G higher than students who only received RL. This approach can enhance students’ mathematical representation ability, especially on the visual and symbolic representation. Keywords: The Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach in the group, mathematical representation ability, quasi experimental research  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v22i1.pp67-7

    HUBUNGAN ANTARA POLA ASUH PERMISIF ORANGTUA DAN KECERDASAN EMOSIONAL SISWA DENGAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA SISWA

    Abstract: The objective of the research was to find out the relationship between parents permissive conduct and students emotional intelligence towards students mathematics learning achievement. at SMP Negeri 7 Alla Enrekang, South Sulawesi. The findings showed that: (1) there was a relationship between parents permissive conduct and students emotional intelligence towards students mathematics learning achievement; (2) there was a negative relationship between parents permissive conduct and students mathematics learning achievement; (3) there was a positive relationship between students' emotional intelligence and  their 'mathematics learning achievement; and 4) there was a positive relationship between parents permissive conduct and students emotional intelligence.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menemukan hubungan antara pola asuh permisif orangtua dan kecerdasan emosional siswa dengan hasil belajar matematika siswa SMP Negeri 7 Alla Kabupaten Enrekang, Sulawesi Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: 1) ada hubungan antara pola asuh permisif orangtua dan kecerdasan emosional siswa dengan hasil belajar matematika siswa; 2) ada hubungan negatif antara pola asuh permisif orangtua dengan hasil belajar matematika siswa; 3) ada hubungan positif antara kecerdasan emosional siswa dengan hasil belajar matematika siswa; 4) ada hubungan positif antara pola asuh permisif orangtua dengan kecerdasan emosional siswa

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
