Self-perceived action competence for sustainability of Indonesian prospective biology teachers
No full textThis study was aimed to analyze the Self-Perceived Action Competence for Sustainability (SPACS) of Indonesian biology teacher candidates. This study was a cross-sectional sur-vey. The data collection process is carried out in June-August 2022. The target respond-ents are students of education study programs in the field of biology from various institu-tions in Indonesia. Gender, GPA, college status, and college status are positioned as re-spondents' characters whose impact on students' SPACS is analyzed in this study. The tar-get population size for this survey is 1300 people, the minimum sample size with 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error is 1235 students. The inclusion criteria of re-spondents in this study were prospective biology teacher students, came from universities in Indonesia, Indonesian citizens, still active as students, and voluntarily wanted to be in-volved as research respondent. To determine the effect of gender, university status, and student status on SPACS, the Mann Whitney test was carried out. On the other hand, to de-termine the effect of GPA on SPACS, the Kruskal-Wallis test was carried out. The results show significant differences occur in the variables that have a p-value (Sig. value) below 0.05. It can be concluded that significant differences in SPACS scores occur in gender dif-ferences to KAP, differences in university status to COI and WTA, and differences in study status to COI and WTA
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
School Literary Movement in Indonesia: Challenges for Scientific Literacy
Full text linkReflections on the results of tests by PIRLS, TIMSS, PISA, encouraging the Ministry of Education and Culture, Indonesia, developed the Gerakan Literasi Sekolah (School Literary Movement). GLS aims to foster reading interest and reading skills of students. In the broader context GLS develop the school to serve as a learning organization that makes all citizens as a lifelong learner. Critical analysis of the GLS with the main program emphasizing reading skills is the first step to develop literacy which can serve as the basis development of scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is the goal of science education that need to be developed in the school. Scientific literacy has a significant role in encouraging every citizen to understand the nature of science, basic science knowledge and scientific thinking, so that they can actively participate in issues of science, technology and their impact. Critical reading, scientific writing, and scientific inquiry is a framework for development of a culture of scientific literacy. In the school literacy practices, critical reading, scientific writing, and scientific work through scientific inquiry integrated in science lesson
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
