    Fisika merupakan ilmu yang sistematis dan menyatu. Sistematis karena produk yang satu berkaitan dengan produk yang lain, dan menyatu karena produk satu dengan lainnya dapat saling menunjang (Sutarto dan Indrawati, 2010:2-3). Tujuan mata pelajaran fisika menurut badan standar nasional pendidikan (2006: 160) adalah mengembangkan pengalaman untuk dapat merumuskan masalah, mengajukan hipotesis melalui percobaan, menguasai konsep fisika, keterampilan mengembangkan pengetahuan, percaya diri serta memupuk sikap ilmiah yaitu jujur, objektif, terbuka, ulet, kritis dan dapat bekerjasama dengan orang lain. Berdasarkan observasi yang telah dilakukan yang bertempat di SMP Negeri 7 Jember kelas VIII, ditemukan bahwa terdapat satu kelas yang bermasalah yaitu kelas VIII C. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena pembelajaran lebih sering menggunakan metode ceramah, tanya jawab, dan penugasan. Hal ini membuat siswa cenderung mendengar, membaca LKS, hafalan rumus dan mengerjakan tugas saja sehingga membuat siswa merasa bosan. Berdasarkan analisis data observasi diperoleh data untuk aktivitas belajar siswa sebagai berikut: memperhatikan penjelasan guru (29 siswa), mencatat materi (22 siswa), berdiskusi (22 siswa), bertanya (3 siswa). mengerjakan soal (21 siswa). Demikian pula dengan hasil belajar kognitif fisika yang diperoleh dari nilai siswa pada ujian tengah semester genap menunjukkan bahwa dari 42 siswa hanya 4 siswa yang mendapat nilai sesuai dengan kriteria ketuntasan minimal (KKM) yaitu ≥ 75. Dengan demikian dapat di simpulkan bahwa aktivitas dan hasil belajar siswa masih tergolong rendah. Berdasarkan permasalahan di atas maka perlu dilakukan penelitian tindakan kelas dengan tujuan memperbaiki mutu praktik pembelajaran di kelas yaitu dengan memberikan model pembelajaran yang inovatif. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan aktivitas dan hasil belajar siswa kelas VIII C di SMP Negeri 7 Jember yaitu dengan menggunakan Teknik Pictorial Riddle. Teknik pictorial riddle adalah suatu teknik untuk mengembangkan motivasi dan minat di dalam diskusi kelompok kecil maupun besar melalui penyajian masalah dalam bentuk gambar. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan peningkatan aktivitas dan hasil belajar fisika siswa dengan teknik pembelajaran Pictorial Riddle di kelas VIII C SMP Negeri 7 Jember. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas dengan subyek penelitian siswa kelas VIII C di SMP Negeri 7 Jember dengan jumlah siswa 42 orang. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah model Siklus Hopkins. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dalam 2 siklus dan diawali dengan kegiatan pra siklus. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini adalah observasi, tes, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data setelah penelitian dilaksanakan menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas belajar siswa dan hasil belajar fisika siswa dari kegiatan pra siklus hingga kegiatan siklus 2 telah mengalami peningkatan. Perolehan skor rata-rata aktivitas belajar siswa pada pra siklus sebesar 27,43% dengan kategori kurang aktif, namun skor rata-rata aktivitas belajar siswa pada siklus I mengalami peningkatan dengan skor rata-rata sebesar 71,29% dengan kategori cukup aktif, dan perolehan skor rata-rata aktivitas belajar siswa pada siklus II sebesar 78,7% dengan kategori aktif. Perolehan hasil belajar N-gain pada siklus I sebesar 0,41 dengan kategori sedang, dan pada siklus II sebesar 0,62 dengan kategori sedang. Berdasarkan uraian di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa aktivitas dan hasil belajar fisika siswa kelas VIII C SMP Negeri 7 Jember menggunakan model pembelajaran inkuiri melalui teknik pictorial riddle mengalami peningkatan

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
