Pembelajaran Bahasa Berbasis Nilai-nilai Cinta (LOVE VALUES): Model Bahasa Guru (TEACHER TALK) yang Santun
Full text linkBahasa sebagai medium komunikasi berperan penting dalam mengelola hubungan antarindividu atau kelompok. Komunikasi yang baik akan menghasilkan hubungan yang lebih erat dan bersahabat, sedangkan komunikasi yang kurang baik akan menghasilkan hubungan yang kurang baik pula. Dengan demikian, komunikasi harus ditata dengan indah agar komunikasi dapat berjalan dengan lancar. Mengajar adalah suatu proses berdialog antara dua individu atau lebih. Dialog adalah suatu proses menyampaikan ide atau menyampaikan pendapat kepada orang lain. Penyampaian pendapat atau ide tersebut sama saja dengan proses berkomunikasi. Oleh karenanya, mengajar sama saja dengan berkomunikasi.Kata kunci: love values, teacher tal
PENGEMBANGAN MODEL INTEGRASI NILAI-NILAI CINTA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA UNTUK MEMBENTUK SIKAP KEBERSAMAAN
No full textBanyak kalangan menilai bahwa pendidikan gagal dalam membentuk perilaku peserta didik karena seringkali terjadinya tawuran antar pelajar dan tindakan kekerasan oleh guru terhadap anak didiknya. Gambaran pendidikan yang muram tersebut disebabkan, antara lain, belum terbentuknya sikap kebersamaan pada warga sekolah, khususnya anak didik. Dalam menyikapi pembentukan sikap kebersamaan pada anak didik, maka salah satu solusinya adalah mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai cinta pada proses pembelajaran. Pada penelitian ini, kajian utamanya adalah mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai cinta pada proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sehingga diharapkan mampu membentuk sikap kebersamaan sesuai salah satu pilar pendidikan yang dicetuskan oleh UNESCO, learn to live together.
Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Research and Development Design (R&D), yang bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model awal pembelajaran bahasa. Pada rancangan ini, populasi yang digunakan adalah guru-guru Bahasa Inggris yang telah mengajarkan Bahasa Inggris lebih daripada 15 tahun dan telah lulus sertifikasi guru. Sampel penelitian ini adalah dua orang guru yang mengajar di kelas XI dan XII RSBI. Pada rancangan R&D, teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi, dimana peneliti adalah isntrumen utama (key instrument). Data yang diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi tersebut dianalisis dengan mendeskripsikannya. Lokasi penelitian adalah SMAN 2 Pontianak yang status Rintisan Sekolah bertaraf Internasional (RSBI) sehingga menerapkan bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia (bilingual) sebagai bahasa pengantar/instruksional.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan akhlak dan peningkatan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris telah tertuang dalam visi dan misi sekolah yang disinergikan dengan status sekolah sebagai RSBI. Proses sosialisasi pendidikan nilai dilakukan melalui kata-kata bijak yang dituliskan pada papan-papan kecil dan ditempelkan pada gerbang masuk, pintu-pintu masuk kelas dan tiang-tiang di sekolah. Pengembangan model integrasi nilai-nilai cinta difokuskan pada pengembangan silabus dan RPP serta bahan ajar.

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
