Integration Level of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the English Teaching using SAMR Model (A Case Study at the Senior High School in Lampung in the Academic Year of 2017 / 2018)
Get PDFThis research aims to determine: 1) the teachers’ ICT competence level in the English teaching, 2) the kinds of ICT used by teachers in the English teaching, 3) the extent to which ICT is integrated by the teachers in the English teaching, 4) the problems of ICT integration faced by teachers in the English teaching, and 5) the teachers’ way to solve the problems in integrating ICT in the English teaching. The SAMR model was used as the criteria to determine the teachers’ integration level of ICT in the English teaching. To gain an in-depth result, this case study focuses on the description of the three English teachers in a senior high school in Lampung as the respondents of the research. To keep the data collected remain consistent, the researcher used triangulation of method, time and resources. The data were collected by doing observation, interview, and distributing questionnaire for the teachers. The collected data were then analyzed based on interactive model data analysis. The data gained are corroborated with each other and show that: 1) the teachers are beginner users regarding their competence to use ICT in teaching, 2) there are nineteen ICTs out of the thirty three common ICTs used in teaching, 3) the integration of ICT using SAMR model is dominated by the substitution level and augmentation level at the second place, 4) there are nine problems faced by the teachers in integrating ICT in English teaching. The occurring problems were divided into internal and external problems such as, lack of the teachers’ competence to use ICT and lack of ICT infrastructures provided in the school, and 5) regarding the teachers’ ways to solve the problems, the teachers must be initiative to carry their own ICT such as laptop, speaker, and bandwidth cap due to lack of ICT number and lack access to the internet in the school. Furthermore, they just do share with their fellow teachers and search on the internet on how to solve the occurring problems. The teachers stated that they could not do many things since they need help and support from the school, administrator, and stakeholder to solve the occurring problems. The detailed process and problems on the integration of ICT in teaching are presented in this research. This research can be a picture of the current practice of ICT in teaching which shows that the implementation of ICT in teaching needs more monitoring and guidance from the stakeholders. The finding reveals that the teachers needs training which not only equips them with content knowledge but also trains them on how to integrate ICT effectively in teaching. Moreover, the information about the integration of ICT in teaching in this research can be recorded in mapping, analyzing, and creating effective pedagogical ICT training for teachers.

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
Investigating the Integration Level of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the English Language Teaching
Get PDFInformation and Communication Technology (ICT) is perceived as a part of the core of education in this 21st century-learning. Experts have explored the integration of pedagogical ICT in teaching and learning recently. But none of them explored the teacher’s competence to integrate pedagogical ICT as they assess the extent to which ICT integrated by the teacher in teaching. This research aims to investigate the teacher competence levels to use ICT and the extent to which the ICT integrated by the teacher in English language teaching. Classroom observation and interview were used as data collecting technique to reach the objectives. To produce an in-depth description, this case study focuses on the description of the individual teacher as the target of the investigation. Teacher’s ICT competence levels were classified using professional framework rank ICT competence level (UNESCO, 2011). While SAMR model was used as the data analysis tool to determine the extent to which ICT integrated by the teacher in the English language teaching. The results of this research indicate that the teacher's competence to use ICT was still beginner. It means that the teacher is dominant with the use of basic features of presentation, word processor software such as powerpoint and Microsoft word and other digital resources. It is also reported that teacher’s ICT integration level with the domination at the substitution level and augmentation level. These findings reflect the ability of the teacher in integrating ICT in teaching. The teacher is considered only be able to use basic function in a limited number of computer application with only little change and improvement
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
