IMPROVING THE TENTH GRADE STUDENTS’ READING SKILLS BY USING MIND MAPPING TECHNIQUE
No full textThis study was a classroom action research which concerned with the inquiry on how mind mapping technique could improve the reading skill of the tenth-grade students’ of State Senior high School 1 of Ujanmas. This research was conducted into three cycles (cycles 1,2, and 3) and the preliminary stage was initiated before the study was conducted. Each cycle had four steps: plan, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were thirty-five tenth-grade students. The technique for collecting qualitative data employed was an observation, to know the improvement of teaching and learning activities, whereas quantitative data were obtained through a reading test. The research result showed that (1) mind mapping technique could improve the students reading skill, (2) mind mapping technique could enhance students’ motivation in the teaching and learning process, (3) mind mapping technique could increase students’ attention to understand and students were encouraged in asking and answering a question. In conclusion, the tenth-grade students’ reading skills could be improved by using the mind mapping technique
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
THE EFFECT OF STORYTELLING METHOD ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES OF SDN 2 BANGUN JAYA
Get PDFThis research aims to determine the effect of the storytelling method on the learning outcomes of second grade elementary school students. The data collection technique used in this research was an essay test. This research uses a type of experimental research with a pre-experimental design. Data analysis used the SPSS program with Cronbach's alpha test. The results of this research show that there is a significant influence on students' listening learning outcomes. By using the t-test formula, it can be seen that the calculated t value is 7.437 at a significance level of 0.05, resulting in a t table of 2.051. Therefore, t count > t table at a significance level of 0.05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is an influence of the application of the storytelling method on the listening learning of class II students at SDN 2 Bangun Jaya
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
PENGARUH STRATEGI DIRECT INSTRUCTION DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPAS TENTANG “WARISAN BUDAYA” TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA KELAS V
No full textThis study aims to determine the effect of Direct Instruction strategy in learning Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) on the material "Cultural Heritage" on the learning outcomes of fifth grade elementary school students. Direct Instruction Strategy is a learning model that focuses on delivering material directly, systematically, and structured by teachers, which is expected to improve is a learning model that focuses on delivering material directly, systematically, and structured by teachers, which is expected to improve students' understanding optimally. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method (quasi-experimental). The subjects of the study were fifth grade students at SD Negeri 160 Palembang consisting of experimental classes and control classes. Data collection techniques were carried out through learning outcome tests given before (pretest) and after (posttest) treatment. The results of data analysis showed that there was a significant increase in learning outcomes in students who were taught using the Direct Instruction strategy assisted by learning videos compared to students who learned using lecture or conventional methods. Thus, it can be concluded that the Direct Instruction strategy has a significant effect on student learning outcomes in the material "Cultural Heritage"
