Model Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) terhadap Kemampuan Pemahaman Konsep Matematika Siswa
Full text linkPenelitian ini merupakan penelitian Quasi Eksperimen dengan desain yang digunakan adalah desain randomized control group pretest-posttest design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII MTs PP Daarun Nahdhah Bangkinang dua ribu dua puluh dua sampai dua ribu dua puluh tiga. Sampel dalam penelitian ini yaitu kelas VIII A dan VIII B, dimana kelas VIII A sebagai kelas Eksperimen dan kelas VIII B sebagai kelas Kontrol. Menghadapi masalah kurangnya pemahaman konsep matematika di MTS PP. Daarun Nahdhah Bangkinang, maka perlu diterapkan suatu inovasi pembelajaran dalam bentuk pembelajaran yang melibatkan peserta didik berperan secara aktif dalam pembelajaran guna memperbaiki rendahnya kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematika siswa serta memberikan dorongan untuk melatih kemampuan pemahamaham konsep matematika siswa agar lebih baik dari pada sebelumnya. Salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan pemahaman konsep siswa adalah model Missouri Mathematics Project karena model ini dirancang untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam memahami konsep, menyelesaikan soal-soal, dan memecahkan masalah-masalah matematika hingga pada akhirnya peserta didik mampu mengkonstruksikan jawaban mereka sendiri karena banyaknya pengalaman yang dimiliki peserta didik dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal latihan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya pengaruh model pembelajaran Missouri Mathematics Project terhadap pemahaman konsep matematika siswa kelas VIII MTs PP Daarun Nahdhah Bangkinang. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh antara pemahaman konsep matematika siswa dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran Missouri Mathematics Project dan pemahaman konsep matematika siswa menggunakan pembelajaran konvensional pada kelas VIII MTs PP Daarun Nahdhah Bangkinang
Improving Mathematical Connection Skills through Eliciting Activities in 8th-Grade Students at SMP Negeri 1 Bangkinang Kota
Full text linkThis research aims to examine the influence of the Eliciting Activities learning model on student’s mathematical connection skills. It is a quasi-experimental study using a nonequivalent control group design, with the population being eighth grade students at SMP Negeri Bangkinang Kota. The sample consists of two classes selected through purposive sampling: class VIII F as the experimental class of two classes selected through purposive sampling: class VIII F as the experimental class using the Eliciting Activities model and class VIII E as the control class using conventional teaching methods. Data collection techniques involved tests and observations. Hypothesis testing was conducted using a paired t-test with a significance level of < 0.025. Prior to this, prerequisite tests were performed, including a normaity test using the Kolmogrorov-Smirnov test and a homogeneity test using Levene’s test. Based on the analysis results, the paired t-test yielded a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.025, indicating that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that using the Eliciting Activities learning model significantly affects the mathematical connection skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Bangkinang Kota. Keywords: model eliciting activities (MEA), mathematical connection skills, learning model. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v25i4.pp1799-180
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
