Improvement of Student's Critical Thinking Ability sin Physics Materials Through The Application of Problem-Based Learning
No full textStudents' skills in critical thinking are needed in learning for problem-solving. The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of problem-based learning models, the implementation of problem-based learning models in improving students' critical thinking skills, the effectiveness of problem-based learning models in improving students' critical thinking skills, as well as the effect of problem-based learning models on improving high school students critical thinking skills. on physics. The method in this research is a descriptive research method through literature study. In this study, the results of a review of several articles related to the problem-based learning model were obtained. Based on the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the problem-based learning model is a problem-based learning model directly so that students are active in learning in class. The implementation problem-based learning model can train students to overcome various problems directly so that they can improve students critical thinking skills. The application of problem-based learning model is very effective when applied in the student learning process in the classroom because it can improve students' critical thinking skills. The application of the problem-based learning model affects improving high school critical thinking skills on physics material. 
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
Effectiveness of Inquiry Learning Models to Improve Students' Critical Thinking Ability
No full textObjective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the inquiry learning model in improving students' critical thinking skills. This type of research is a literature study using articles related to the influence of the inquiry learning model on students' critical thinking skills. Method: The method used is the descriptive qualitative research method. The data source used in this study is secondary data, namely articles that have been published. These articles were sourced from Google Scholar, Open Access Journal, sinta indexed journals, and national university websites between 2012 and 2022. Eight journals were suitable for research on critical thinking skills and inquiry. Results: The result of this study is that it is known that the inquiry learning model has a significant influence on improving students' critical thinking skills. There is a significant difference in critical thinking skills between students who use the inquiry learning model and those who are taught with the non-inquiry learning model. Novelty: The guided inquiry learning model has proven to be effectively applied to improve students' critical thinking skills
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
