No full textThis research aims to address the low speaking skill (Maharah Al-Kalam)
among first-grade students of the Islamic Senior High School at Al-Furqan
Modern Islamic Boarding School, characterized by a lack of effective oral
communication skills in daily Ma'had activities and the absence of a specific
Maharah Al-Kalam instructional unit. Initial data indicated that the average
student oral test score was only 51.9, significantly below the ideal target of 85.
Therefore, this study aimed to: 1) Analyze the needs for developing an
instructional unit; 2) Design and develop the 'TAM' (Takallam Arabiyyah
Mubasyaroh) instructional unit based on the Direct Method; and 3) Measure the
effectiveness of the 'TAM' unit in improving students' Maharah Al-Kalam.This
research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method, adopting the
ADDIE model. The research subjects were 29 first-grade students of the Islamic
Senior High School at Al-Furqan Modern Islamic Boarding School. The 'TAM'
unit was designed as a printed module containing contextual conversation
material, focusing on areas prone to language violations (such as the kitchen,
dormitory rooms, and classrooms), and fully implementing the Direct Method.
The research results indicate that the "TAM" Instructional Unit was
successfully developed and obtained a Highly Feasible rating from experts:
Material Validator (89%), Design Validator (88%), and Language Validator
(84%). In terms of practicality, the large-group trial results showed a percentage
of 88%, classified as "Very Good". Meanwhile, the effectiveness test using the NGain
Test resulted in an average score of 0.57. This value falls into the "Medium"
category. Nevertheless, the use of the 'TAM' unit proved to yield a significant
increase in the students' average scores, from a pre-test score of 51.9 to a post-test
score of 79.2.The "TAM" Instructional Unit based on the Direct Method is proven
to be valid, practical, and moderately effective in improving students' speaking
skills. It is recommended that teachers utilize this module as supplementary
teaching material to reinforce students' speaking practice both inside and outside
the classroom
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
Phonetic Analysis of An-Nabr in the Arabic Short Film Al-Samāʾu Tumṭir: A Prosodic Study
Get PDFPurpose – This study aims to identify the position and realization of An-Nabr (stress) in the Arabic short film Al-Samāʾu Tumṭir, uploaded on the Arab Podcast channel. In addition, the study emphasizes the relevance of An-Nabr in contemporary phonetic research and expands the scope of Arabic prosody studies from a pedagogical level to an acoustic phonetic analysis using film as a medium.
Design/methods/approach – The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach supported by acoustic phonetic analysis. The primary data consist of film dialogues, which were transcribed and annotated to identify stress. Validation was conducted through Praat software by measuring three universal stress parameters: duration (ms), intensity (dB), and fundamental frequency/F0 (Hz). Data validity was reinforced through inter-rater reliability and triangulation between manual annotation and acoustic analysis.
Findings – The study identified 34 instances of An-Nabr, classified into three categories: (1) stress occurring according to the speaker’s intention to emphasize a particular meaning, (2) stress in sentences containing ḥarf nafi, ḥarf nahy, adawāt al-istifhām, and ḥarf syarṭ, and (3) stress following Arabic prosodic rules, particularly in sentences with fiʿil amr. The findings also demonstrate that An-Nabr is not only phonetic but also pragmatic. Stress can be categorized into lexical stress, phrasal stress, and emphatic stress, depending on the context of the utterance.
Research implications/limitations – This study carries both theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, it broadens Arabic prosody research by utilizing film as a natural prosodic corpus that represents speech more authentically than laboratory recordings. Practically, the findings can be applied to the development of phonetics and maharah kalām teaching materials, particularly in training learners’ prosodic awareness in Arabic. Teachers may employ films as a medium to practice stress in interrogative words, negation, and imperative sentences.
Originality/value – This study is unique in that it: (1) employs an online short film as a data source for Arabic prosody, (2) applies acoustic analysis based on universal stress parameters, (3) offers methodological contributions through the combination of manual annotation, inter-rater validation, and acoustic measurement, and (4) recommends further research in the form of comparative studies between native speakers and non-Arab learners, as well as the utilization of other media corpora.
Abstrak
Tujuan – Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi posisi dan realisasi An-Nabr (tekanan) dalam film pendek bahasa Arab Al-Samāʾu Tumṭir yang diunggah kanal Arab Podcast. Selain itu, penelitian menegaskan relevansi An-Nabr dalam kajian fonetik kontemporer serta memperluas ruang lingkup penelitian prosodi Arab, dari tataran pedagogis menuju analisis fonetik akustik berbasis media film.
Desain/metode/pendekatan – Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan dukungan analisis fonetik akustik. Data utama berupa dialog film, ditranskripsikan lalu dianotasi untuk mengidentifikasi tekanan. Validasi dilakukan melalui perangkat lunak Praat dengan pengukuran tiga parameter universal stres: durasi (ms), intensitas (dB), dan frekuensi dasar/F0 (Hz). Keabsahan data diperkuat dengan reliabilitas antar-penilai inter-rater reliability serta triangulasi antara anotasi manual dan analisis akustik.
Temuan – Hasil penelitian menemukan 34 posisi An-Nabr yang terbagi dalam tiga kategori: (1) nabr yang muncul sesuai kehendak penutur untuk menekankan maksud tertentu, (2) nabr pada kalimat dengan ḥarf nafi, ḥarf nahy, adawāt al-istifhām, dan ḥarf syarṭ, serta (3) nabr yang mengikuti kaidah prosodi Arab, terutama pada kalimat dengan fi‘il amr. Temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa An-Nabr tidak hanya fonetik, tetapi juga pragmatik. Tekanan dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi lexical stress, phrasal stress, dan emphatic stress sesuai konteks ujaran.
Implikasi/Keterbatasan Penelitian – Penelitian ini memiliki implikasi teoretis dan praktis. Secara teoretis, memperluas kajian prosodi Arab dengan memanfaatkan film sebagai korpus prosodik alami yang merepresentasikan ujaran lebih natural dibanding rekaman laboratorium. Secara praktis, hasil dapat dimanfaatkan dalam pengembangan materi ajar fonetik dan maharah kalām, khususnya melatih kesadaran prosodi pembelajar bahasa Arab. Guru dapat menggunakan film sebagai media latihan tekanan pada kata tanya, kata negasi, maupun kalimat perintah.
Keaslian/nilai – Penelitian ini unik karena: (1) memanfaatkan film pendek daring sebagai sumber data prosodi Arab, (2) menerapkan analisis akustik berbasis parameter universal stres, (3) menawarkan kontribusi metodologis dengan kombinasi anotasi manual, validasi inter-rater, dan pengukuran akustik, serta (4) merekomendasikan penelitian lanjutan berupa kajian komparatif antara penutur asli dan pembelajar non-Arab maupun pemanfaatan korpus media lain
