TEXT-BASED SYLLABUS DESIGN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN ACADEMIC WRITING CLASSROOM : A Case Study Conducted to One Lecturer in One Public University in Bandung, Indonesia
No full textThe study is concerned with the investigation of a text-based syllabus design and its implementation in academic writing classroom involving one non English department lecturer as the participant. This was conducted based on a consideration that writing a research paper abstract in English for non English lecturer is difficult. The aims of the study were to find out the effectiveness of a text-based syllabus design in teaching writing a research paper abstract in academic writing classroom, to seek the gaps between the syllabus and its use in the classroom and to expose the strategies used to anticipate the gaps. The study employed a qualitative research design and used a case study method. It was carried out within ten meetings including six meetings of teaching, one meeting of review and three meetings of test. In the study, the researcher acted as the syllabus designer, learning material developer and teacher. As aforementioned, the study involved one non English lecturer of one public university in Bandung, Indonesia. The data were collected by using three types of instruments including classroom observation, interview and document analysis. The observation was conducted by recording the teaching program, documenting what was done and said by the teacher and the participant. A colleague was invited as another observer to verify the data and validate the study. Apart from that, the interview was semi-structured one which was carried out in an ongoing way and at the end of the program. In an ongoing basis, the interview was conducted after each lesson was implemented, asking the impression of each lesson including its strong and weak points. At the end of the program, the interview was carried out after the teaching program was conducted, asking the participant’s perception, the benefits and the strong and the weak points of the whole program. The end interview also asked the suggestions for the improvement of the program. In terms of document analysis, several documents were observed including, the syllabus, lesson plan, learner’s written work (tasks in independent construction and tests) and learning materials. The results showed that; (1) despite some limitations, the text-based syllabus design was effective in most parts in the teaching of writing research paper abstract. The participant better performed in her writing in that she showed a clear text structure, appropriate skeletal phrases and better language features in the research paper abstract writing. It was accompanied with her awareness of having the progress in terms of research paper abstract writing and her good understanding that writing is a recursive process as viewed from the data of interview and documents analysis; (2) the data from the document analysis and observation showed that the gaps occurred between the lesson plan and the teaching and it was attended in four following aspects, namely steps of teaching, activities, learning materials and time; (3) in order to anticipate the gaps, the teacher used different strategies to the teaching, to the lesson plan and the materials. In terms of the teaching, the teacher applied context adjustment (steps of teaching, activities and time), whereas in terms of lesson plan, the teacher employed reorganization and simplification. Further, in the case of materials, the teacher utilized modification and simplification
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
