Meningkatkan Student Engagement dan Hasil Belajar Menggunakan Media Pembelajaran Pemrograman Berbasis Game
Full text linkComputer programming is an essential skill in the digital era, yet many students struggle due to teacher-centered lecture methods that rely heavily on one-way explanations and passive notetaking. This study aims to develop a game-based programming learning media to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Using Design-based Research (DBR) with the ADDIE model, a web-based media integrating game elements such as live coding, leaderboards, and level-based challenges was designed and tested. Participants included 276 students from Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya University, selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through knowledge tests, engagement questionnaires, and user satisfaction surveys, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. Results indicated significant improvements in student engagement (89% of students achieved high engagement) and learning outcomes (average score increase of 19.94 points). These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of game-based media in creating interactive and enjoyable learning experiences. The study contributes to the development of innovative educational methods in technology-based learning.Pemrograman komputer merupakan keterampilan esensial di era digital, namun banyak mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan akibat metode pembelajaran yang monoton. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan media pembelajaran pemrograman berbasis game untuk meningkatkan student engagement dan hasil belajar. Metode Design-based Research (DBR) dengan pendekatan ADDIE digunakan untuk merancang, mengembangkan, dan menguji media berbasis web yang mengintegrasikan elemen permainan seperti live coding, leaderboard, dan tantangan berbasis level. Partisipan terdiri dari 276 mahasiswa Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes pengetahuan, kuesioner student engagement, dan kuesioner kepuasan pengguna, kemudian dianalisis secara statistik deskriptif dan paired sample t-test. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan student engagement (89% mahasiswa mencapai kategori tinggi) dan hasil belajar (rata-rata kenaikan skor 19,94 poin). Temuan ini membuktikan efektivitas media berbasis game dalam menciptakan pembelajaran yang interaktif dan menyenangkan.

Development of Serious Games as A Programming Learning Platform for Informatics Students
No full textThis study aims to develop DolananCoding, a programming learning platform based on serious games designed for informatics students. The research employed the waterfall software development methodology, encompassing requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and dissemination. The study participants consisted of second- and fourth-semester students from the Department of Informatics at Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya, totaling 264 students. The research instrument used is the end-user computing satisfaction (EUCS) questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale to evaluate user satisfaction with the platform. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics to assess user satisfaction across five dimensions: accuracy, ease of use, content, timeliness and format. The results indicated that the DolananCoding platform was validated and has received positive responses from students, achieving a user satisfaction score of 4.3 out of 5.0. This platform is expected to enhance students' motivation and engagement in programming learning while equipping them with the programming skills required to compete in the professional job market
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
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
