An Analysis Of International Exchange Almuslim Undergraduate’s Experience With Nagoya Gakuin University (Tourism And Citizenship)
No full textThis study examines the experiences of Almuslim University students participating in an international exchange program with Nagoya Gakuin University. The research aims to analyze how educational tourism activities and cross-cultural interactions influence students\u27 development of global citizenship competencies and cultural awareness. This qualitative study employed in-depth interviews with 11 undergraduate students who participated in the exchange program between 2016-2024. Each participant engaged in semi-structured interviews, exploring their experiences, challenges, and personal growth during the program. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to identify recurring patterns and meaningful themes. Analysis revealed three key themes from the interview data: (1) Enhanced cultural competency, with participants describing significant improvements in their cross-cultural communication abilities and cultural understanding; (2) Deepened environmental awareness, as participants shared their experiences learning about Japanese sustainable tourism practices; and (3) Strengthened global citizenship identity, evidenced by participants\u27 narratives about their changed worldviews and increased international engagement after the program. The interviews highlighted how structured immersion activities particularly contributed to their Japanese language development and cultural adaptation. The findings demonstrate that structured international exchange programs effectively enhance students\u27 global competencies and cultural sensitivity. These outcomes suggest that combining educational tourism with intentional cross-cultural engagement successfully prepares students for global citizenship. Future research should examine the long-term impact of such programs on career development and explore the potential for virtual exchange components
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIORAMA MEDIA TO IMPROVE STUDENTS\u27 SPEAKING ABILITIES
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to examine the impact of diorama media on students\u27 speaking abilities at SMP Negeri 35 Takengon and assess their response to the use of diorama media for improving speaking abilities. Collaborative Classroom Action Research was employed as the research method, with the researcher working in collaboration with the teacher at SMP Negeri 35 Takengon. The research utilized tests, observation checklists, and questionnaires as the data collection instruments. Analysis of the data revealed that the mean score for students\u27 speaking ability tests was 43.65 in the first cycle and 72.04 in the second cycle. The students\u27 response to the implementation of diorama media yielded a mean score of 3.7, indicating a "Strongly Agree" response. These findings demonstrate that the utilization of diorama media has led to positive results in improving students\u27 speaking abilities and has garnered a satisfactory response. As a result, this research can be considered successful
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
