Strengthening relationship among multi-ethnic students in Malaysia
No full textThe education system in Malaysia plays an important role in strengthening the relationship among multi-ethnic students. This article uses data drawn from interview session, observation and document analysis, which aim to identify strategies to strengthen relationship among multi-ethnic students in a secondary school. Through purposive sampling, two school administrators, seven teachers and twenty form four students from various ethnicities were selected. This study revealed that, there were four strategies such as nurturing national integration, encouraging interactions among multi-ethnic students, stimulating acceptance and tolerance between students and creating school environment that reflects diversity of ethnics. The present findings provide new evidence illustrating how a secondary school implemented various strategies to strengthen student relationship and a few recommendations were made
Gaya pembelajaran pelajar Tingkatan Enam di Malaysia
No full textKajian dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti gaya pembelajaran pelajar yang mengikuti pengajian di Tingkatan Enam berdasarkan faktor jantina, PNGK, aliran, jenis sekolah, kaum, pendapatan dan lokasi sekolah. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada 8,108 orang pelajar yang mengambil peperiksaan Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) 2009. Instrumen yang digunakan ialah soal selidik yang mengandungi empat konstruk iaitu Aspirasi Pelajar, Persediaan Belajar, Semasa Pengajaran dan Ulang Kaji dengan kesemua item adalah berbentuk skala likert 4 mata (4 = Sangat Setuju, 3 = Setuju, 2 = Tidak Setuju dan 1 = Sangat Tidak Setuju). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensi. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara gaya pembelajaran pelajar lelaki dan perempuan dalam konstruk Aspirasi Pelajar (t=-0.522, p=0.000) dan Persediaan Belajar (t=-8.634,p=0.000). Dapatan kajian turut menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara kesemua konstruk yang dibincangkan dengan faktor PNGK, aliran, lokasi, kaum dan pendapatan keluarga kecuali bagi konstruk Persediaan Belajar dengan aliran pelajar dan konstruk Ulang Kaji dengan pendapatan keluarga. Maklumat kajian ini diharap dapat membantu pihak berkaitan untuk mengenal pasti strategi dan kaedah bersesuaian dalam membantu meningkatkan lagi keberkesanan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam kalangan pelajar yang mengikuti pengajian di Tingkatan Enam terutama sekali dalam meningkatkan aspirasi dan persediaan belajar bagi pelajar lelaki
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
