Sarjana’s Thesis, English Department, Faculty of Letters, State University of Malang. Advisor: Dr. Suharmanto Ruslan, M.Pd Keywords: Communicative Coursebook, Scaffolding: English for Junior High School Grade 7, Coursebook Evaluation Nowadays, many kinds of English coursebooks are published to be used as the instructional material. In order to select the most appropriate coursebook to support the successful learning, coursebook evaluation is compulsory. “Scaffolding: English for Junior High School Grade 7” is one of the coursebooks which is published by government and commonly called as e-book (electronic book). It can be freely accessed and downloaded from the website. In addition it can be bought with relatively cheap price. The book was chosen as it was stated clearly by the author that the book is designed based on the communicative approach. Therefore, the researcher is interested to analyze how communicative the coursebook is in terms of three aspects: design and content, communicative interaction, and style and appropriacy. The research method used in this study was descriptive-qualitative method in analyzing the coursebook by picturing and reporting the quality of the coursebook descriptively. The subject of the study and the main source of the data was“Scaffolding: English for Junior High School Grade 7”. The data were collected by examining the content of the coursebook with the criteria which were formulated in the form of research instrument called communicative coursebook evaluation checklist. The instrument was developed by the researcher by selecting and adapting criteria from the checklists proposed by some experts: Cunningsworth (1995), Sheldon (1988), Grant (1991), Mc Donough and Shaw (1993 in White 2001), and Ortega (2011). The data were analyzed by examining which of the criteria met the content of the coursebook to reveal the quality of the coursebook through the level of fulfillment of the three criteria. The findings show that the level of fulfillment of the coursebook in terms of design and content is 3.8 of the 0-4 score range. The second criterion which is communicative interaction reaches 3.5 of the 0-4 score range. The last, the coursebook obtained 2.5 of the 0-4 score range in terms of its style and appropriacy. Therefore, the overall fulfillment is 3.3 of the 0-4 score range which can be interpreted as excellent. In short, it can be concluded that “Scaffolding: English for Junior High School Students Grade 7” is an excellent communicative coursebook
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
Pengaruh Konsep Diri dan Kepedulian Orang Tua terhadap Prestasi Belajar Siswa Program Keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan di SMKN 6 Malang
No full textABSTRAK Metaria, Diana. 2012. Pengaruh Konsep Diri dan Kepedulian Orang Tua terhadap Prestasi Belajar Siswa Program Keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan di SMKN 6 Malang. Skripsi, Program Studi Pendidikan Teknik Bangunan, Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing: (I) Drs. Sutrisno, S.T, M.Pd, (II) Drs. H. Bambang Widarta, M.T Kata kunci: konsep diri, kepedulian orang tua, prestasi belajar Berdasarkan hasil observasi selama Praktek Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL) pada semester Gasal tahun ajaran 2011/2012 di SMKN 6 Malang, ditemukan permasalahan yaitu kurang optimalnya prestasi belajar siswa. Hal ini dibuktikan dari nilai raport siswa yaitu hanya sekitar 48% yang dapat mencapai batas KKM (70-79). Kurang optimanya prestasi belajar ini diduga dikarenakan kurang aktifnya siswa pada saat pelajaran di kelas, kurangnya rasa kemauan siswa untuk belajar dan kurangnya perhatian dari orang tua. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (1) mendeskripsikan tentang konsep diri, kepedulian orang tua, dan prestasi belajar siswa, (2) menguji pengaruh konsep diri dan kepedulian orang tua terhadap prestasi belajar siswa pada program keahlian Teknik Gambar Bangunan di SMKN 6 Malang. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan deskriptif dan eksplanatori. Populasi meliputi siswa kelas X berjumlah 68 dan kelas XI berjumlah 67 dengan jumlah 135 siswa. Sedangkan sampel sejumlah 95 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan Proportional Stratified Random Sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik angket untuk data konsep diri dan kepedulian orang tua, dokumentasi untuk data prestasi belajar. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi linier berganda dengan bantuan program SPSS 16.0 for Windows. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data diperoleh simpulan: (1) Untuk konsep diri hanya sejumlah 26 siswa saja (28%) yang memiliki konsep diri tinggi, sedangkan sejumlah 69 siswa (72%) memiliki konsep diri yang sedang dan rendah. (2) Kepedulian orang tua hanya sejumlah 9 siswa saja (9%) yang memiliki konsep diri tinggi, sedangkan sejumlah 86 siswa (91%) memiliki kepedulian orang tua yang sedang dan rendah. (3) Prestasi belajar hanya sejumlah 28 siswa saja (29%) yang memiliki prestasi belajar yang baik, sedangkan sejumlah 67 siswa (71%) memiliki prestasi belajar yang cukup dan kurang. (4) Koefisien regresi R = 0,753 dengan F = 60,081; p = 0,000 < α = 0,05, membuktikan bahwa konsep diri dan kepedulian orang tua secara bersama-sama berpengaruh positif, kuat dan signifikan terhadap pencapaian prestasi belajar. Koefisien determinasi sebesar 0,566 menunjukkan bahwa konsep diri dan kepedulian orang tua secara bersama-sama memberikan sumbangan efektif sebesar 56,6% terhadap pencapaian prestasi belajar. Untuk memprediksi pencapaian prestasi belajar dapat dilakukan dengan persamaan regresi Y = 32,541 + 0,305X1 + 0,436X2. Untuk lebih meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa, selain konsep diri dan kepedulian orang tua masih terdapat variabel lain yang tidak diamati dalam penelitian yang harus diperhatikan, karena memberikan pengaruh yang masih cukup dominan yaitu sebesar 43,4%
