Sikap pelajar terhadap pembelajaran bahasa Arab di IPTA / Azman Che Mat
Full text linkPada masa kini bahasa Arab secara meluas dipelajari baik pada peringkat sekolah mahupun peringkat Institut Pengajian Tinggi (IPT). Oleh yang sedemikian makalah ini ditulis untuk melihat aspek-aspek yang menyebabkan pemilihan bahasa Arab sebagai bahasa asing ketiga oleh pelajar. Pendekatan perbandingan digunakan sebagai kaedah kajian kerana kajian ini ingin meninjau apakah mungkin wujud persamaan mahupun perbezaan daripada populasi yang berbeza, iaitu dari Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Terengganu dan Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UnisZA). Sampel kajian terdiri daripada pelajar yang mengambil kursus program diploma. Kajian ini menggunakan instrumen soal selidik untuk mendapatkan data. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat banyak persamaan berbanding dengan perbezaan. Kajian ini juga telah mengemukakan beberapa penemuan yang menunjukkan ada permasalahan motivasi dan sikap yang perlu ditangani oleh pengajar-pengajar bahasa Arab di peringkat IPT. Seterusnya, beberapa saranan telah dicadangkan untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini
Bahasa Melayu benteng Islam dan Melayu / Azman Che Mat
No full textDalam satu jenaka pernah disebut mengenai bangsa Melayu. Sekarang orang Melayu tidak
mempunyai apa-apa kecuali “baju Melayu dan bahasa Melayu”. Walaupun ujaran ini merupakan satu
gurauan, tapi implikasinya amatlah besar, sekiranya benar bahawa itu sahaja yang masih ada pada
bangsa Melayu. Mazlan Nordin (2011) selaku karyawan tamu di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
menulis:
“Semenanjung Melayu adalah satu-satunya daerah di bumi Ilahi ini yang mengambil
nama “Melayu”. Ini tanah asal bahasa dan kebudayaan Melayu yang intim di samping
“Tanah Melayu” yang lain, iaitu pantai timur dan selatan Sumatera”.
Nukilan di atas jelas memberi gambaran bahawa bangsa Melayu adalah penduduk yang mendiami
kawasan tanah Melayu dan menggunakan bahasa Melayu dan memakai adat resam Melayu dalam
kehidupan sehariannya. Hari ini, tiada lagi nama “Tanah Melayu” atau “Semenanjung Melayu”, yang
ada ialah Malaysia, Indonesia, Patani dan Brunei. Maka secara tersuratnya, tiada lagi nama Melayu
digunakan pada tanah air pada hari ini, namun entiti bangsa Melayu masih lagi terpakai walaupun
warga negaranya adalah Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei dan Thailand
Eksperimen pelaksanaan PdP Dialog Antara Budaya (PPDaB) di dalam kelas / Azarudin Awang and Azman Che Mat
Full text linkThe cultural gap in society needs to be overcome by fostering racial understanding and unity. An effective approach in Teaching and Learning (T&L) occurs when inter-cultural dialogue activities in the classroom are implemented. Dialogues between cultures refer to an interaction that occurs between two different cultural practitioners. The diversity of races, ethnicities and sub-ethnicities in Malaysia makes inter-cultural dialogues an important medium of integration and unity. This study aims to measure level of students' knowledge of popular culture from different ethnic or sub-ethnic groups before and after Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Dialog Antara Budaya (PPDaB) activities. The study was participated by 71 undergraduate students who enrolled in Ethnic Relations course (CTU 553) at Universiti Teknologi MARA in Terengganu. Based on the data collected from the questionnaires, statistical analysis using mean and sp test (standard deviation) were used to measure students' knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the given questionnaire items. The findings reveal that implementing PPDaB in the classroom may enhance the level of knowledge, create more positive attitude and interest of the students to a higher scale. Thus, innovation through the implementation of PPDaB in the classroom enhances the understanding, empathy and students' enjoyment of learning
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
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
