THE EFFECT OF PICTURE WORD INDUCTIVE MODEL (PWIM) AND STUDENTS’ SELF-EFFICACY TOWARD THEIR WRITING SKILL OF DESCRIPTIVE TEXTS AT GRADE X OF SMA NEGERI 1 IX KOTO SUNGAI LASI
No full textPenelitian ini ditulis untuk melihat pengaruh strategi picture word inductive model (PWIM) dan self-efficacy siswa terhadap keterampilan mereka dalam menulis teks deskriptif. Penelitian ini merupakan quasi-experimental dengan rancangan factorial design. Data penelitian ini diambil dari hasil tes keterampilan menulis siswa dan angket self-efficacy. Kemudian, data tersebut dianalisis dengan menggunakan t-test dan Anova dua Arah melalui aplikasi Minitab 14. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan strategi PWIM memberikan efek yang signifikan terhadap keterampilan menulis siswa jika dibandingkan dengan strategi listing yang biasa digunakan oleh guru dalam pengajaran menulis. Hasil tersebut memperlihatkan t-hitung sebesar 1,900 yang lebih besar daripada t-tabel yang bernilai 1,684. Kemudian, siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi yang diajarkan dengan strategi PWIM mempunyai kemampuan yang lebih baik dalam menulis teks deskriptif dibandingkan dengan siswa yang diajarkan dengan strategi listing, dimana t-hitung sebesar 3,160 yang lebih besar daripada t-tabel yang bernilai 1,812. Akan tetapi, siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy rendah yang diajarkan dengan strategi PWIM tidak mempunyai kemampuan yang lebih baik dalam menulis teks deskriptif dibandingkan dengan siswa yang diajarkan dengan strategi listing yang mana t-hitung sebesar 1,730 yang lebih kecil daripada t-tabel yang bernilai 1,812. Selanjutnya, dari hasil penelitian juga ditemukan bahwa tidak ada interaksi antara strategi mengajar dengan self-efficacy terhadap keterampilan menulis siswa dimana F-hitung sebesar 0,08 yang lebih tinggi daripada F-tabel yang bernilai 2,58

What Can Reading Motivation Do for Improving Student’s Reading Comprehension? Implications for Reading Instruction in the School
Full text linkThis study is a qualitative study which to know the problems of students’ reading motivation as an implication for reading instruction for improving reading comprehension. The instrument that had been used for this study is questionnaires and literature review was done to give solution for implication in the reading classroom based on theories. For 21 students in junior high school who have been distributed a questionnaire could be found that some students have some problems in reading efficacy and intrinsic motivation (reading work avoidance). Some solutions to solve students’ reading motivation are 1) Sociocultural environment is part of a solution in creating reading motivation in order peer influence happened on it. 2) By viewing locus of control, appropriate book and text determine the reading motivation of the students. 3) Furthermore, the students must be given the freedom to choose the kinds of text that they want to read. 4) reward and punishment can be applied on the reading class to invent students’ reading motivation 5) activating the school library can increase reading interest but must be accompanied by making several programs that support reading activities
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
