METODE COOPERATIVE INTEGRATED READING AND COMPOSITION (CIRC) TERHADAP MOTIVASI READING COMPREHENSION MAHASISWA DI UNIVERSITAS TEKNOLOGI MATARAM
Get PDFThis research is entitled Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Method on Students' Reading Comprehension Motivation at Mataram University of Technology. The purpose of this study was to overcome the low reading comprehension motivation of the second semester students of the Informatics Engineering study program at the Mataram University of Technology. This study used an experimental method design as a research design. This is the simplest design that examines two treatments, where each treatment is varied into two treatment levels. The experimental group consisting of 22 students was given treatment using the CIRC method, while the control group used conventional methods in the teaching and learning process. In applying the CIRC method to the experimental group, the researcher divided students into small groups consisting of 4 to 5 people per group, then students carried out the stages of implementing the CIRC method. Data collection was obtained based on the results of the pre-test, post-test, results of filling out questionnaires and observations during the learning activities. The data were processed using SPSS and the results were analyzed using a descriptive statistical model where the research data were presented and described based on data obtained from observations, questionnaires, interviews, pre-test and post-test results, and conclusions were obtained regarding the success rate of applying the CIRC method. The results showed that the average score of students in the post-test showed greater results when compared to the achievement scores in the pre-test, namely (79.50> 62.01. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the CIRC method is effectively applied to students' Reading Comprehension learning in English courses and the application of the CIRC method to the learning process can increase student learning motivation.Penelitian ini berjudul Metode Cooperative Intergated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Terhadap Motivasi Reading Comprehension Mahasiswa di Universitas Teknologi Mataram.

Enhancing Students’ Listening Skill Through Podcasts
Get PDFThis study investigates the effectiveness of podcasts in improving the listening skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The research was conducted at Yusuf Abdussatar Islamic Vocational School in Kediri West Lombok Indonesia Indonesia (n=35, Grade 11), the research employed an experimental design with interviews and questionnaires. The findings reveal that majority of students (55%) perceived podcasts as facilitating easier learning, further integration strategies could be explored for optimal benefit. Although 75% found podcasts somewhat effective and enjoyable, further research could identify aspects to maximize their impact. Encouragingly, all students agreed that podcasts could improve listening skills. Additionally, 90% of participants reported increased motivation to learn further after using podcasts. The study also revealed positive perceptions regarding podcasts' contribution to keeping up with educational media trends (16.7% strongly agreed) and fostering independent learning (83.3% agreed or strongly agreed). These findings suggest that podcasts can be a valuable tool for EFL classrooms. Conclusion: Incorporating podcasts into EFL classrooms appears to be a promising method for improving listening skills and fostering a positive learning environment

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
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
