Kos ketidakberadaan guru dalam bilik darjah: kajian kes di Daerah Muallim, Perak
No full textKetidakberadaan guru di dalam bilik darjah memberi kesan kepada proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Kesan langsung ialah kerugian kepada pelajar kerana masa instruksional yang hilang. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menganggarkan kos output yang hilang atau kerugian kepada murid akibat daripada ketidakberadaan guru dalam bilik darjah. Pendekatan kajian ialah kajian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan reka bentuk tinjauan. Seramai 313 orang guru sekolah rendah dan menengah di daerah Muallim, Perak telah terpilih sebagai sampel kajian. Borang soal selidik telah digunakan untuk mengutip data bagi kajian ini. Dalam kajian ini, Model Modal Insan digunakan sebagai asas dalam menganggarkan kos output yang hilang kesan ketidakberadaan guru di dalam bilik darjah.Dapatan kajian menunjukkan jumlah hari guru tiada dalam bilik darjah ialah 7830 hari di mana kerugian setahun dianggarkan sebanyak RM911,285.60 bagi sekolah rendah dan RM852,915.94 bagi sekolah menengah dalam tempoh setahun. Anggaran keseluruhan kerugian hasil pembelajaran dalam bentuk wang bagi 313 orang guru adalah sebanyak RM1,764,201.54. Implikasinya, kerugian ini boleh dikurangkan jika amalan melindungi masa instruksional dilaksanakan dengan berkesan
Does schooling reform affect the returns to education in Malaysia?
No full textThe objective of this paper is to examine the impact of education reforms on earnings. One of the significant changes in the Malaysian education system was the school reform of 1970 that changed the medium of instruction from English language to the Malaysian national language. Using data from the household income surveys, this paper updates previous estimates of the private rate of return to schooling. Applying a homogenous return model, an ordinary least square (OLS) regression indicates that the private rate of returns to schooling is about the world average. Meanwhile, using instrumental variable approach, the impact of the schooling reforms indicates that the private rate of return to education is higher than the average

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
