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
FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI PERSEPSI GURU TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS PROJECT INQUIRY BASED LEARNING DI GUGUS I SDN SOKARAJA
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the factors affecting teachers perceptions of Project inquiry Based Learning (PJIBL) at Gugus I SDN Sokaraja. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a survey approach involving 129 elementary school teacher respondents. The study focused on four main factors: teachers Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, teacher self-efficacy, teacher mindset towards PJIBL, and computational thinking skills. The results indicate that teachers ICT skills were categorized as high, with 82% of teachers demonstrating strong ability in utilizing technology during the learning process. Teacher self-efficacy was also found to be very high at 97%, reflecting teachers confidence in implementing PJIBL. The teacher mindset towards PJIBL was categorized as very high 99%, indicating a predominance of a growth mindset supporting the adoption of innovative methods. Meanwhile, computational thinking skills were categorized as high 74%, although some teachers still need to improve their analytical and problem-solving abilities. Overall, these four factors significantly affect teacher perceptions of PJIBL based learning. The findings highlight the importance of these factors in strengthening teachers readiness to face 21st-century learning challenges
MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN MAHASISWA PADA MATA KULIAH KONSEP DASAR IPA MENGGUNAKAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN CBSA DENGAN PENDEKATAN DISCOVERY
No full textThis research is aimed at finding out whether students’ active learning with discovery approach could improve the students’ understanding of basic science subject. The research used survey method. The population of this research was students who took the subject of Konsep Dasar IPA (the Basic Concept of Science) out of which one class was taken as sample. The data was then analyzed with descriptive technique with the help of graph. The result showed that 72% did not have sufficient understanding about the topic of energy and its transformation which was delivered without the help of learning aid and discussion. After learning aid was and discussion was facilitated by the lecturer, all the subjects of this research expressed their better improved understanding. Discovery method with experiment and discussion is crucial in helping students understand the basic concept of science.
Key words: understanding, basic concept of science learning, students’ active learning, discovery technique
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
INFLUENCE OF THE NEARPOD EDUCATIONAL WEBSITE BASED ON THE PROBLEM BASED LEARNING MODEL ON CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY IN CLASS V ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE LESSONS
Get PDFThis research aims to test the effect of using the Nearpod educational web based on Problem Based Learning on the critical thinking abilities of class V students at SDN Kembaran. The research method used is quantitative with a one group pretest-posttest research design. The research subjects involved 22 students in class V. The research instruments were an initial test (pretest) and a final test (posttest) which were used to measure critical thinking skills before and after the Nearpod problem-based learning intervention. Data collection was carried out by giving a test in the form of a description of 10 questions which had been tested for validity, reliability, level of difficulty and distinguishing power. Data analysis used descriptive statistical methods and inferential analysis with paired t-test to measure significant differences between pretest and posttest results. The research results showed an increase in the average pretest score of 60.2 while the posttest was 84. Based on the results of the normality test using the Pearson Shapiro Wilk correlation, it can be seen that the Pearson Correlation value obtained a pretest value of 0.527 and a posttest value of 0.548. Both mean they have a strong correlation and mean the data is normally distributed. The results of the correlation test between the pretest and posttest scores show that the probability is 0.000 < 0.50 (5% significance level), so Ho is rejected so it can be concluded that there is a relationship (correlation) between problem-based learning media nearpod and 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
