Analisis Kemahiran Membaca Buku Ajar MI Berstandar American Council on Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)
Full text linkThis study discusses content analysis of MI Arabic textbooks for grade VI using ACTFL competency standards. This analysis will later provide a conclusion that the competency in reading the Arabic language textbook shows the appropriate level of competency standards in ACTFL. For each skill, the ACTFL guidelines identify five main levels of proficiency: Distinguished, Superior, Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice. Then start the Advanced (Advanced), Intermediate (Intermediate), and Beginner (Novice) levels. these are further divided into High, Mid, and Low sublevels, respectively. This research is a research with a qualitative approach with content or content analysis methods. Content analysis is a qualitatively oriented technique, standardized measures applied to certain units are usually used to characterize documents or compare them. The data obtained will be analyzed by the author by looking at the concept map and learning objectives of the textbook. The main purpose of writing this research is to complement existing research related to the analysis of MI Arabic textbooks with the ACTFL standard, especially in analyzing reading skills
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
Al-‘Ashālāh wa al-Mu’āshirah fī al-Dirāsāt al-‘Islāmīyya
No full textMuslims today are suffered from rational crisis that may lead to the crises of muslim world in many aspects of life. In order to protect and encourage their potentials and dynamism, the muslims have to get out of the illness. One of the ways to save them is by rethinking the methods of studying Islam. This particularly after the decline of muslims in almost all muslim countries as a result of the rise of Western thinking methods introduced by orientalists. Students who devoted themselves in Islamic studies find that there are two contradictive ways of approaching Islam; traditional and modern. The traditionalists try to keep the existing approaches, while the reformists call for reform and even "westernization” In this field, there are books that have been written by scholars to synthesize them. In this paper, the writer tries to describe some of them analyzing their contents under the topic Traditionalism and Modernism in Islamic Studies.’’ The paper summarizes:The study of Islam carried out by muslim scholars has a close relation to religious mission, therefore they may not be separated theoretically as well as practically and must be separated from methods come from outside Islam.The methods of studying Islam in Islamic universities ought to combine the traditional and modern ones.Some elements of traditionalism are; the necessity of the knowledge of Islamic civilization. being proud of Islam, keeping the principles of Islam as well as the teaching of "salaf”’, then keeping the inherited tradition.The elements of modernism are; the importance of understanding the time, science. technology, future thinking and keeping human rights.This field of study is very broad and this paper is only a small part of it, so it needs suggestion from scholars especially experts of this field.[Mayoritas umat Islam saat ini sedang dilanda krisis pemikiran yang pada akhirnya membawa dunia islam kepada krisis diberbagai bidang. untuk dapat meningkatkan potensi dan dinamisme yang dimikiki umat Islam harus keluar dari situasi yang tidak menguntungkan ini. Di antara jalan keluar dari krisis ini adalah dengan memperbaiki metode studi Islam, khususnya setelah terjadinya kemunduran di bidang ini sebagai akibat dari munculnya pengaruh-pengaruh asing yang dibawah oleh para orientalis. Para pelajar dan mahasiswa merasakan adanya dua arus yang saling bertentangan, yaitu antara kaum tradisionalis yang mendukung tetap dijaganya metode kajian Islam yang telah ada dengan kaum reformis yang menyeruhkan perubahan dan "westerisasi” yang pada akhirnya menimbulkan kebingungan pada mereka. Untuk menengahi persoalan ini banyak buku-buku yang telah ditulis oleh para ahli sebagai upaya memadukan kedua kutub tersebut. Dalam makalah ini penulis mencoba memunculkan beberapa buku mengenai bahasan ini dengan memberikan beberapa analisis yang terangkum dalam judul; "Tradisionalisme dan Modernisme dalam Studi Islam". Di sini penulis memberikan beberapa kesimpulan:Ada benang merah yang menghubungkan studi Islam yang dilakukan sekarang ini dengan misi kenabian, oleh sebab itu keduanya tidak boleh dipisabkan, baik teori maupun praktek sebagaimana pula harus dipisahkan dari metode yang datang dari luar.Studi Islam di Perguruan Tinggi harus menggabungkan kedua metode; tradisional dan modem.Di antara unsur-unsur tradisionalisme adalah; keharusan mengetahui peradaban Islam, bangga dengan baju Islam, kembali kepada pokok ajaran Islam, menghidupkan ajaran salaf serta melestarikan tradisi. Adapun di antara unsur-unsur moderisme adalah; keharusan mengetahui kondisi zaman, mengetahui ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, berpandangan futuristik serta menjaga hak-hak asasi manusia.Pada dasarya kajian ini sangatlah luas sementara tulisan ini masih sangat dangkal, oleh sebab itu kritikan serta perbaikan untuk pengembangan sangat diharapkan
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
