PENGEMBANGAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KEAKSARAAN FUNGSIONAL BERBASIS POTENSI LOKAL PERTANIAN BAGI PEMBERDAYAAN KOMUNITAS ADAT TERPENCIL : studi di Kecamatan Waiapo Kabupaten Buru)
Get PDFPenelitian ini didasari fakta bahwa pembelajaran pada program pendidikan keaksaraan fungsional belum dapat memberdayakan Komunitas Adat Terpencil dalam memenuhi kehidupannya sebagaimana ditekankan program penyelenggaraannya. Permasalahannya adalah; (1) materi belajar keaksaraan berbasis potensi lokal; (2) tutor tidak memiliki pengetahuan, keterampilan tutorial, karena menjadi tutor bukan pilihan; (3) selama menjadi tutor belum pernah mengikuti pelatihan tenaga tutor keaksaraan di tingkat daerah, provinsi, ataupun nasional. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengembangkan model pembelajaran keaksaraan berbasis potensi lokal guna memberdayakan KAT sesuai kebutuhan hidup serta prinsip penyelenggaraan program pendidikan keaksaraan.
Teori yang digunakan untuk mendukung penelitian ini adalah keaksaraan fungsional dan pembelajaran orang dewasa yang dikembangkan oleh Knowles, (1979); konteks potensi lokal dikembangkan oleh Hikmat, (2008); pemberdayaan masyarakat dikembangkan oleh Chambers, (1996).
Penelitian dan pengembangan model pembelajaran mendeskripsikan kondisi aktual KAT, di Kecamatan Waiapo, Kabupaten Buru dengan menggunakan desain penelitian quasi ekperimen. Jumlah responden 100 orang peserta belajar, terdiri dari 50 orang peserta sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan 50 orang peserta sebagai kelompok kontrol. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik wawancara, angket, observasi mendalam serta dilengkapi studi dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Analisis kuantitatif dilakukan dengan statistik parametrik uji t untuk dua sampel independen. Analisis kualitatif dilakukan menggunakan cara memaknakan dan mendeskripsikan informasi empirik diperoleh dari proses preliminary research dan ujicoba model.
Temuan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa: (1) sebelum dilakukan pengembangan model pembelajaran keaksaraan berbasis potensi lokal, kondisi aktual sosial ekonomi, pembelajaran belum mampu memberdayakan kehidupan peserta belajar/KAT. Pengetahuan keterampilan belum dimiliki dan berarti bagi kebutuhan hidup, serta materi belajar tidak sesuai kebutuhan. (2) pengembangan model pembelajaran keaksaraan berbasis potensi lokal pertanian secara signifikan dapat memberdayakan KAT. Potensi lokal dapat dikembangkan dengan pengembangan materi belajar keaksaraan sesuai potensi daerah, pelatihan tenaga tutor keaksaraan berbasis potensi lokal, pelaksanaan pembelajaran menggunakan materi belajar potensi lokal pertanian. Evaluasi hasil belajar latihan bagi peserta belajar/KAT syarat muatan keterampilan pertanian dan perkebunan.
Berdasarkan temuan tersebut disimpulkan, pengembangan pembelajaran keaksaraan terbukti efektif mampu memberdayakan peserta/KAT program pendidikan keaksaraan. Direkomendasikan kepada Direktorat Pendidikan Masyarakat, Dirjen Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Nonformal dan Informal, Penyelenggara Program Pendidikan Keaksaraan dan para Praktisi, Pelaksana, Pendidikan Nonformal dapat memanfaatkan hasil penelitian ini guna memberdayakan warga masyarakat miskin.
This study is based on the fact that functional literacy learning processes have been ineffective in empowering isolated Indigenous communities to live a good life, as expected in the implementation of literacy programs, due to the following problems: (1) literacy learning materials are based on local potential, (2) tutors do not possess tutorial knowledge and skills because being a tutor is not their choice, and (3) tutors have never- participated in literacy tutor training at regional, provincial or national level. The study aims at developing a local potential-based literacy learning model to empower isolated indigenous communities in accordance with life needs and principles of functional literacy service program.
Theories in use is related to functional literacy and adult learning developed by Knowles, (1979) local potential context by Hikmat, (2008) and community empowerment by Chambers, (1996).
Research and development of learning model describes the actual situation of indigenous communities in Waiapo District, Buru Regency by applying a quasi-experimental design. The study involves 100 participants, consisting of 50 participants in treatment group and other 50 participants in control group. Data were collected by interview, questionnaire, in-depth observation, and literature review, and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Quantitative analysis was conducted by parametric statistics of t-test on two independent samples, while qualitative analysis was carried out by describing and interpreting empirical information gathered in preliminary study and model piloting.
The findings show that (1) prior the development of local potential-based functional literacy learning model, actual learning condition was ineffective in empowering the isolated indigenous communities and acquiring knowledge and skills meaningful to their life, since learning materials and activities were not compatible with local needs and potential, (2) the development of local potential¬based functional literacy learning model has significantly empowered the communities. Local potential could be improved through the development of literacy learning modules in accordance with local potential, literacy tutor training was based on local potential, learning processes made use of local farming practices as local potential, and product evaluation was packed with farming skills, and (3) the development of literacy learning model is effective in empowering the isolated indigenous communities participating in the functional literacy learning program.
Based on those findings, it is recommended that non-formal and informal early childhood education developers, functional literacy program providers, and non-formal education practitioners and organizers take advantages of this study to empower poor communities
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
