Full text linkTraining for Junior High School’s teacher on constructing LOTS and HOTS questions aims to (1)improve teacher competence on designing lower and higher-order thinking skills assessment; and (2)provide teachers with an understanding of the formulation of successful test questions and the evaluation criteria set by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The training was given to 31 teachers of SMP IT Cendikia Takengon in stages; (1) pre-training observations; (2) tutorial and practice; (3) assistance; and (4) evaluation. The training conducted on August 14 to October 20, 2020. Based on the results of evaluation and reflection, it is found that; (1) teachers were able to write questions, both multiple-choice and essays questions, following the principles of writing questions; (2) teachers were able to understand and distinguish between cognitive levels (levels 1,2 and 3) and cognitive dimension (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6); (4) teachers generally have been able to compile HOTS questions although some teachers still have difficulty designing HOTS questions; (5) Teachers understand that HOTS questions are not difficult questions, but level 3 questions that involve reasoning; and (6) teachers understand that structured and non-structured test if properly designed have the potential to measure both lower and higher-order thinking skills
Development of Rubric of Higher Order Thinking Skills Assessment on Mathematics Learning
Full text linkThis research aims to develop a rubric of Higher-Order Thinking Skills Assessment on mathematics learning that is valid, reliable, and practical. The Plomp's developmental method, the Generic model for educational design, was deployed to develop the HOTS assessment rubric. The method consisted of 4 phases, namely; (1) preliminary investigation, (2) design, (3) development, and (4) implementation and evaluation. The rubric was designed and developed to measure students' higher-order thinking skills in mathematics learning. The rubric was developed by integrating HOTS characteristics in mathematics: critical thinking, problem-solving, mathematical understanding, mathematical modeling, proof and reasoning, mathematical representation, and mathematical communication. The HOTS assessment rubric's quality was examined using Plomp's product/prototype quality criteria: (1) validity, (2) reliability, and (3) practicality/usability. The rubric of the HOTS assessment was validated by two validators that are experts on HOTS in mathematics. The practicality/usability of the rubrics was examined by five mathematics teachers from different Junior High schools. The validity and reliability were measured using Gregory's Expert Agreement Index (EAI), while the rubric's practicality was analyzed using practicality product criteria. The research shows that the validity of the rubric of HOTS assessment on mathematics learning is 0.82 (valid), and the reliability is 0.79 (reliable). Meanwhile, the practicality of the rubric is 81.02 (Good). In conclusion, the rubric of the HOTS assessment on mathematics learning is valid, reliable, and practical to use to measure students' higher-order thinking skills in mathematics 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
