Developing Supplementary Reading Materials for English Course Program of Grade XII at SMAN 7 Malang
No full textThe development of this supplementary reading materials is addressed to design a
teaching material which compatible for students of grade XII in following the English course
program. This product is developed in order to solve students’ problem in facing the
examination. The development of this product is based on students’ need and interest.
This study is categorized as Research and Development (R&D) since the objective
of this study is to develop a product which can be applied for an educational program in English
learning and teaching. The first step in developing this product is need analysis. In this phase,
the researcher uses two instruments namely questionnaire and interview. Questionnaire is used
to collect information from students, whereas interview is used to collect information from
English teacher, the principal and alumni of SMAN 7 Malang. Secondly, the researcher designs
syllabus and materials. Third, expert validation is conducted to check the feasibility of the
product before the product is published. Then, the researcher revises some components based
on experts’ comments and suggestion. Trying out the product is the next step to conduct. By
trying out the product, the researcher will know the feasibility of the product. The last step is
final product. In this phase, the researcher evaluates students’ opinion about the product and
rechecks the product until the researcher believes this product can be published.
The final product of this development is supplementary reading materials entitled
“Smart Reading. Question Bank”. It can be used to support the exercise book that used in
English course program. The material is about types of text. It consists of 8 chapters. Each
chapter consists of brief explanation, vocabulary builder and mini test. Besides, this product is
completed with tips and tricks, sample question and practice test. This product is designed
colourfully with attractive pictures illustration in order to make students become more
interested in doing the exercises.
Last but not least, as a suggestion to the future researcher to carry out the similar
studies by developing other skill such as listening. In examination, listening is also become one
of the competencies that should be passed. By developing other skills, this product will be more
complete and students can learn all aspects just in one book
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
Apology Strategies Performed By Main Characters In Perahu Kertas Novel
Get PDFKeywords: speech act, apology strategies, Perahu Kertas novel Apology is a part of human communication to maintain good relations between people or to restore harmony. The writer conducted a research on apology strategies in Bahasa Indonesia, by analyzing a novel entitled Perahu Kertas. In this study, there are two problems to be solved: (1) What apology strategies are performed by main characters in Perahu Kertas novel, and (2) How is the act of apologizing upgraded by main characters in Perahu Kertas novel.This study used qualitative approach because the analysis is in the form of description rather than number. Then, this research is categorized as document analysis because the writer analyzed the novel entitled Perahu Kertas.The result of this study shows that apology strategies are divided into two main groups that are direct and indirect strategy. Direct strategy is represented into 11 strategies: minimizing the offense, explicit apology, explicit apology followed by explanation, explicit explanation followed by minimizing the offense, recantation, regret, request for forgiveness, concern for hearer, being honest, hiding something and cancellation. Indirect strategy is represented into 4 strategies: attacking the complainer, blaming someone else, implicit apology and implicit apology followed by explanation. Besides, this study suggests that the act of apologizing can be upgraded directly and indirectly. Direct strategy is represented into 5 strategies: explanation, reiteration, lexical intensification, supplication, and promise. Indirect strategy is represented into 2 strategies: explanation and confirmation.The writer suggests that future researchers use more objects in Bahasa Indonesia in order to complete the taxonomy of apology strategy in it. The writer also suggests that Study Program of English at Universitas Brawijaya add more references related to this topic so that future researchers could present rich literature review that is able to support the analysis of their study
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
