The Use of Moral Dilemma Worksheet on the Issue of Forest Ecosystem Through Science/Ipa Learning at Smpn 6 Banjarmasin
No full textThe ability to solve problems associated with the consequences of one's morals in general can be said
to be vary according to the differences in personality, the way of thinking, and behavior. The
difference in thinking skills of the students have prompted the authors to conduct a research to
develop a moral dilemma worksheet in problems of forest ecosystem to train the students' critical
thinking skills at SMP Negeri 6 Banjarmasin. This study used one group pretest-posttest design. The
data of the research results showed that: (1) The developed worksheet, otherwise, was valid in overall
by academician and practitioners, (2) The developed Worksheet has fulfilled the practical criteria
based on the implementation of the lesson plan with good categories, (3) The worksheet is declared to
be effective by achieving the score gain ie 0 , 66 with the medium category, and (4) Science process
skills of students considered as good. Therefore, worksheet of moral dilemmas in problems of forest
ecosystems were declared feasible (valid, practical, and effective) use to train students' critical
thinking skills at SMP Negeri 6 Banjarmasin.

Characteristics of Student Critical Thinking in Solving Microbiology Problems
No full textCritical thinking is an intellectual process that actively and conceptually conceptualizes, implements, analyzes, synthesizes, and evaluates information gathered or generated from observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, to guide beliefs and actions. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics of the students' critical thinking level in solving valid and reliable microbiological problems. The type of this research is descriptive research using qualitative approach. Subjects in this study were 4 students of Biology Education, Universitas Lambung Mangkurat academic year 2014/2015, taken from high, medium, and low category based on the students’ score of microbiology course. Data analysis techniques used include data reduction, data presentation and draw conclusions. The results of this study indicate that based on its characteristics, at a less critical level, the students are able to understand the problem and prepare the plan of completion by fulfilling the reasoning element, the critical level enough for the students to understand the problem, to prepare and implement the problem solving plan by fulfilling the element of reasoning. Characteristics at a critical level are being able to understand problems, develop plans, implement problem-solving plans and re-examine problem-solving outcomes by fulfilling some logical elements except the elements of reasoning and inference and at a very critical level students are being able to understand problems, plan, implement problem-solving plans and review the problem-solving results based on the elements of reasoning. Students who take the course of microbiology certainly have different characteristics based on a written assignment that has been given.

Validity of Poster on the Characteristics of Candida sp. in the Water of Campus Toilet
No full textOne of Microbiology fields studies about the
characteristics of fungi and water microbiology, but in learning
process any local resource is not used. Water contains many
inorganic and organic substances as the place for
microorganisms live. Candida sp. can be freely found in soil,
animal's feces and in the air, but Candida sp. in the water of
campus toilet has not been identified yet. Therefore, the water of
campus toilet can be used as the closest learning resource for
college students at Biology Education FKIP Unlam Banjarmasin
in Microbiology subject. Learning Information can get more
scientific when it shows by a poster. This research aimed to
describe the validity of the poster on characteristics of Candida
sp. in the water of campus toilet at FKIP 1 Unlam Banjarmasin.
The method used in this research was Research and Development
(R&D, and the steps were research and collecting information,
planning, developing preliminary form of product, preliminary
field testing, and main product revision. The result showed
"Candida sp. Characteristics in the Water of Campus Toilet at
FKIP 1 Unlam Banjarmasin" poster had high validity and high
reliability.

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
