Integration of SOLE-Based Progressive Web Apps: Trends and Empirical Insights for Critical Thinking in Education
Full text linkDigital education expands rapidly, yet research on Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and Self-Organized Learning Environments (SOLE) often proceeds separately, obscuring how integration with standardized critical-thinking measures improves learning. This review addresses that gap by synthesizing evidence, specifying how PWA affordances scaffold SOLE processes, and offering guidance for practice and policy. A Systematic Literature Review (SPAR-4-SLR) was conducted. Searches in Scopus, SINTA, and Google Scholar covered 2020–2025 using Boolean strings (PWA and SOLE and “critical thinking”). Inclusion targeted peer-reviewed studies in formal education reporting learning or critical-thinking outcomes; screening followed PRISMA 2020. Instruments comprised a four-criterion Likert quality appraisal (objectives clarity, methodological appropriateness, data quality and completeness, educational relevance; cutoff ≥ 12), a standardized data-extraction form, and NVivo 12 for thematic analysis with calibration and inter-rater agreement (Cohen’s κ ≥ 0.70). Twenty-five studies were included. Results show 32% focused on PWA (flexibility, motivation, project-based engagement), 40% on SOLE (independence, collaboration, inquiry), and 28% on integrated approaches indicating potential for adaptive, participatory, contextual ecosystems, although instruments are heterogeneous and causal designs limited. Theoretically, the review specifies a technology–pedagogy alignment that maps offline access, installability, responsiveness, and notifications to SOLE phases and core critical-thinking dimensions. Practically, it recommends a design checklist for educators, rubric and outcome alignment for curriculum developers, and policies prioritizing device access, reliable connectivity with offline options, lightweight authentication, and professional development for SOLE facilitation
Pengembangan Modul Pembelajaran Pemeliharaan Sasis dan Pemindah Tenaga Kendaraan Ringan Untuk Program Keahlian Teknik Kendaraan Ringan
Full text linkThe purpose of this development is to produce a learning module for chassis maintenance and light vehicle power transfer for the light vehicle engineering expertise program. This module can provide practical guidance for students in carrying out maintenance and repairs. Students will be ready to enter the workforce after graduating with relevant skills. The development of teaching materials for Chassis Maintenance and Light Vehicle Power Transfer is based on a 4D development research model. Testing is carried out by media experts, material experts, small group tests and large group tests. The data collection instrument to determine the feasibility of developing chassis modules and light vehicle power transfers, using a questionnaire. Based on the results of the validation data, the percentage of eligibility is 3,676 for the validation of media experts and 3,583 for the validation of material experts, so that based on the criteria that have been set, the module meets the valid criteria. For the feasibility and effectiveness of the module, the results of the students' responses in the small group test were very feasible and for the large group trial, the results were obtained with a percentage (89% + 88%): 2 = 88.5%. Thus, the development of chassis modules and light vehicle power transfer is very feasible to be used as a learning medium on the chassis system elements and light vehicle power transfer Class XI SMK
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
