Utilizing Gagne approach affecting Jawi learning courseware / Radziah Salleh
Get PDFJawi in Malaysia seems to be dying due to lack of Jawi usage in daily use. In order to attract young people to learn Jawi, a better approach of learning Jawi should be introduced. High level of awareness to sustain Jawi literacy inspired researcher to find the best approach to be implemented in Jawi learning courseware to assist students in Jawi learning process. This study is a comparative study where two courseware has been used in order to asses users' acceptance level or its approach. One courseware adapted the Gagne learning approach; Gain attention, Inform learner of objectives, Stimulate recall of prior learning, Present stimulate material, Provide learner guidance, Elicit performance, Provide feedback, Assess performance and Enhance retention and transfer, while the other implemented the phonemic approach. The questionnaires were distributed to 200 respondents which consist of 100 primary school children and 100 more are adults including teachers, parents and guidance. Three objectives were framed which is to find the most favorable learning approach, association between age group and individual status towards the most favorable Jawi courseware chosen. This study showed that the most favorable CD Jawi learning among respondents is the 'Perisian K-Jawi' which uses Gagne learning theory in delivering the lesson. However there is no significant correlation between age group and individual's status with their interest toward both CD Jawi learning. Conclusion can be made those nine elements of Gagne approach is the main factor that influenced respondents to choose their most favorable learning approach
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
النصوص القرائية ودروس قواعد اللغة العربية في الكتب المقررة في الشهادة الثانوية الماليزية: دراسة استطلاعية = Reading texts and Arabic grammatical lessons in the textbooks of Malaysian secondary certificate: survey study = Membaca teks dan mata pelajaran tatabahasa Arab di dalam buku teks sekolah aliran kerajaan Malaysia: kajian kaji selidik
Get PDFيسعى هذا البحث إلى دراسة نصوص القراءة وقواعد اللغة العربية في الكتاب المقرر بالسنة الرابعة والخامسة الثانوية بالمدارس الحكومية، للتعرّف على مدى استساغتها لدى الطلبة الذين يدرسون الكتاب سنة 2017م. وقد تمّ جمع البيانات من 180 طالباً وطالبةً يدرسون في 18 مدرسة، أي الـمُـعدّل 10 من الطلبة لكل مدرسة، وقد تبيّن من الاستبيان أن النسبة المئوية العالية من استجوابـهم تؤكد بأن النصوص القرائية تحتوي على الكثير من المفردات الصّعبة، ولا يمكن فهمها إلا بمساعدة الأستاذ من خلال ترجمته لتلك المفردات إلى الملايوية، أمّا بالنسبة للقواعد العربية فالنسبة المئوية العالية من استجوابهم تؤكّد بأن دروس قواعد اللغة العربية لم تكن مترابطة، وينقصها الأمثلة التوضيحية والتدريبات التطبيقية كما لم تُستغلّ الجمل والشواهد من النصوص القرائية في شرح القواعد المدروسة.
*******************************************************
This study undertakes the reading materials and Arabic grammar in the text book of the fourth and fifth years of the Malaysian secondary public school in order to identify its compatibility among the students who use it in 2017. 180 students who participated in the study came from 18 schools; an average of 10 students from each school. The significantly high percentage of their responses verifies that reading materials in the book contains significant number of difficult vocabularies that can be understood after their translation by the respective teachers. As for the lessons on grammar, it was concluded through the significant percentage of the responses that they do not appear to be interrelated, they lack relevant examples and practical exercises in addition to the fact that the Quranic verses were also not being put into use to explain the taught grammatical rules.

Kajian ini menumpukan kepada bahan-bahan bacaan dan tatabahasa Arab di dalam buku-buku teks tingkatan empat dan lima sekolah aliran kerajaan Malaysia untuk mengenalpasti kesesuaiannya dalam kalangan pelajar-pelajar yang menggunakannya pada tahun 2017. 180 pelajar yang telah menyertai kajian ini terdiri daripada 18 sekolah; oleh itu purata setiap sekolah ialah ia diwakili 10 murid. Peratusan yang tinggi jawapan soal selidik para pelajar mengesahkan yang bahan bacaan di dalam buku itu mengandungi perkataan susah dengan jumlah yang tiggi yang hanya boleh difahami selepas daripada diterjemahkan oleh guru. Topik-topik berkenaan tatabahasa pula, melalui peratusan jawaban yang tinggi dalam soal selidik, nampak tidak saling berhubungan, ia juga kekurangan contoh-contoh yang sesuai serta latihan. Tambahan pula, ayat-ayat Al-Quran juga tidak dijadikan contoh untuk menjelaskan lagi topik-topik tatabahasa yang diajar tersebut
The Use of Religious Vocabulary and the Exploitation ((استغلال of Borrowed Arabic Words in the Preparation of Reading Text for Malaysian Secondary-School Students: Selected Case Study
No full textThis paper attempts to highlight the use of Arabic religious words in the Malay language. The authors highlight the issue of how vocabularies of the Arabic language are employed in the Malay language and are used in the preparation of reading texts for Malaysian secondary school students. The authors employ a qualitative methodology by applying textual and content analyses on selected cases related to the issue in question. Findings reveal that in order to assist in the comprehension of the Arabic language among young Malays, many Arabic vocabularies are borrowed and exploited in preparing reading texts in Arabic for the religious stream secondary-school students of the Malaysian Educational system
