No full textYoutube to Promote Critical Thinking in Critical Listening Course
Full text linkWhen it comes to teaching students listening skills, audio-visual learning techniques are superior to audio-only ones. Therefore, YouTube becomes the primary source to get diverse and high quality videos for critical listening courses. In order to better understand the language, students would be able to connect words and images. Using interviews and observation to collect the data, this research found that using YouTube videos has a positive impact on promoting critical thinking while engaging in a critical listening course. Through 1) freeze framing and prediction; 2) repetition and role play; and 3) reproduction activities, YouTube can help students in a critical listening course develop their critical thinking skills. Further advice on how to maximize the advantages of this activity for promoting critical thinking can be found by looking into the various strategies and techniques used by educators to incorporate YouTube videos into their teaching methods
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
APERSEPSI PEMBELAJARAN MELALUI STAND-UP COMEDY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR MAHASISWA DENGAN METODE CERAMAH DI STKIP PGRI PONOROGO
Full text linkThis study was an experimental study with two sample groups to examine the use of stand-up comedy in learning aperceptions to increase student’s learning motivation using lecture method. The lecture method is the most widely used by lecturers to deliver the material, but this method often makes students bored and less motivated in learning. Students’ learning motivation must be built since the beginning of the class using aperceptions. Some researchers suggest that jokes and funny stories can increase students' motivation to learn. Stand-up comedy is humor performed by a monologue performer. This humor is favored by young people including students. This experimental study involved 40 students in two groups; control and experiment. The finding showed that learning aperception through stand-up comedy model in lecture method can significantly improved students’ learning motivation.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen dengan dua kelompok sampel yang menguji penggunaan stand-up comedy dalam apersepsi pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa dengan metode ceramah. Metode pembelajaran ceramah adalah metode yang paling banyak digunakan oleh dosen untuk menyampaikan materi perkuliahan, tetapi metode ini seringkali membuat mahasiswa menjadi jenuh dan kurang termotivasi dalam belajar. Motivasi belajar mahasiswa harus dibangun sejak dosen melakukan apersepsi di kelas. Beberapa peneliti mengemukakan bahwa joke dan cerita lucu dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar peserta didik. Stand-up comedy adalah bentuk humor oleh satu orang penampil menggunakan monolog. Humor gaya ini saat ini sedang banyak diminati oleh kaum muda termasuk mahasiswa. Penelitian dalam bentuk eksperimen ini melibatkan 40 mahasiswa dalam 2 kelompok, kontrol dan eksperimen. menggunakan model stand-up comedy untuk menyampaikan pesan pembelajaran di dalam kela Temuan menunjukkan bahwa apersepsi pembelajaran melalui stand-up comedy dalam metode ceramah secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan minat belajar mahasiswa
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
