Rini Andriani. 14121310348. The Portrait of EFL Learners’ Capability in Writing
Report Text: Qualitative Research at SMAN 1 Rajagaluh.
In Indonesia, English as compulsory subject is learned from junior high
school up to university. According to School-Based curriculum (Depdiknas, 2006:
308) the objective of teaching learning English at Senior High School is that the
students are expected to be able to develop communicative competence both in
written and in spoken form to achieve informational literacy level. Although
English is compulsory subject in Indonesia, most of senior high school students
still have difficulties in learning English, especially writing. Writing is still one of
the most difficult skill for language learners because writing is not just arranging
the words, but writing is a process of thinking and creativity for writer to develop
their ideas, knowledge, information into written language.
The aims of this research are: 1) find out the EFL learners’ capability in
writing report text, 2) find out the difficulties that are faced by EFL learners when
writing report text. Therefore, the analysis mainly employs qualitative methods
which is descriptive qualitative. In qualitative study, the researcher is the main
instrument for gathering and analyzing the data (Ary et. al., 2010: p 424). This
study used observation, interview and documentation as the techniques of
collecting data. Participants of this research are the second grade EFL learners of
SMAN 1 Rajagaluh, exactly in XI MIPA 4.
This study reveals that EFL learners’ capability in writing report text is
categorized as fair to poor. They are still difficult to develop and express their idea
to the written text. It indicates that the teacher in teaching process has to concern
more to touch language structures, text functions, themes or topics, creative
expression, composing processes, content, genre and contexts of writing (Hyland,
2003: 2). In addition, the difficulties that are faced by the students when writing
the report text are vocabulary, grammar and developing or expressing their idea
into written text.

STUDI KOMPERATIF BUDIDAYA UDANG, BANDENG DAN KEPITING DI DESA DEAH RAYA KECAMATAN SYIAH KUALA KOTA BANDA ACEH
Get PDFRini Andriani, "Studi Komperatif Budidaya Udang, Bandeng Dan Kepiting Di Desa Deah Raya Kecamatan Syiah Kuala Kota Banda Aceh" Di bawah bimbingan Bapak Dr. Ir. Indra, MP sebagai pembimbing utama dan Bapak Ir. Edy Marsudi, M.Si sebagai pembimbing kedua.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui yang mana lebih menguntungkan antara budidaya udang, bandeng dan kepiting. Data yang digunakan untuk penulisan laporan ini adalah data primer dan data sekunder yang diperoleh dilapangan dengan menggunakan metode survey. Metode pengambilan sampel digunakan secara simpel random sampling, besamya sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah sebesar l 00 % dari 3 orang untuk budidaya kepiting sehingga diperoleh sampel 3 orang untuk budidaya kepiting sedangkan sebesar 50 % dari 17 orang untuk budidaya udang dan 20 orang untuk budidaya bandeng sehingga diperoleh sampel 9 orang untuk budidaya udang dan 10 orang untuk budidaya bandeng.Model analisis dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan memakai uji statistik t'.

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
