The Program That Involves Some Integrated Lesson Topics to Help Students Understand How to Create Simple Sentences
Get PDFSome teachers believe that serving their students by a suitable approach is the most important. It may be true if they have already had students with sufficient English knowledge. If they do
PENGEMBANGAN MODEL INTERAKTIF UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA TEKS BAHASA INGGRIS
Get PDFPelajaran bahasa Inggris di perguruan tinggi didominasi oleh aktipitas pembahasan teks-teks bacaan. Untuk dapat memahami bacaan tersebut, para mahasiswa harus mempunyai latar belakang bahasa Inggris yang baik. Namun, kebanyakan mahasiswa memiliki kemampuan bahasa Inggris yang masih rendah sehingga sulit bagi mereka untuk memahami teks bacaan dan mengikuti proses pembelajaran yang diberikan oleh dosen. Situasi seperti ini membuat atmosfer pembelajaran menjadi tidak baik bagi dosen maupun para mahasiswa. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, penulis melakukan penelitian dengan melakukan ujicoba model pembelajaran membaca teks berbahasa Inggris di sebuah perguruan tinggi swasta yang berlokasi di Bandung. Model pembelajaran yang diujicobakan adalah model pembelajaran interaktif yang bertujuan untuk membantu para mahasiswa meningkatkan keterampilan membaca yang mereka miliki melalui proses yang menyenangkan. Ujicoba pada model pembelajaran ini dilakukan melalui penelitian research and development. Hasil pada penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa model pembelajaran interaktif yang menjadi produk penelitian dapat memberikan atmosfer pembelajaran membaca teks berbahasa Inggris yang menyenangkan namun tidak memberikan peningkatan secara signifikan pada keterampilan membaca para mahasiswa. Agar dapat memberikan peningkatan secara signifikan pada keterampilan membaca para mahasiswa, sebaiknya dosen menggunakan model pembelajaran interaktif ini untuk para mahasiswa yang telah memiliki latar belakang kemampuan bahasa Inggris yang baik. ;---
The learning of English in universities is dominated by the activities of text discussion. To comprehend the discussed text, university students must have good English background. Unfortunately, most university students still have low English background. It makes them hard to comprehend the text and they have difficulties when they join English subject that is delivered by their lecturer. This situation creates a bad learning atmosphere for both lecturer and his students. To solve the problem, the writer conducted a research. In this research, the writer tested a model of teaching. The model of teaching was conducted in a private university which is located in Bandung. The tested model of teaching was called interactive model. This model aimed to help university students to develop their reading skill through a fun learning process. The testing of the model in this research was conducted by using research and development study. The result of this research showed that the interactive model could create fun learning reading atmosphere but were unable to develop students’ reading skill significantly. To acquire significant development of students’ reading skill by using this model of teaching, the lecturer must apply it to the students who already have good English background
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
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
