TAFSIR HERMENEUTIKA KURIKULUM PENDIDIKAN SEKOLAH ALTERNATIF :Studi atas Sekolah Alternatif Qaryah Thayyibah, Kalibening-Salatiga
Full text linkSekolah alternatif Qaryah Thayyibah (QT) di Kalibening yang eksistensinya kontras dengan sekolah pada umumnya baik dalam esensi kurikulum, metode pembelajaran, lingkungan dan praksis pembelajaran menarik untuk dijelaskan secara jernih. Penelitian ini fokus pada upaya mengungkap kurikulum apa yang keberadaannya terdefinisikan melalui pemahaman, sekaligus mengetahui makna tersembunyi dalam esensi kurikulum pendidikan di QT yang menjadi “jantung” kegiatan pendidikannya. Kurikulum sebagai sebuah kemungkinan implementasi yang terbuka menyediakan penjelasan terbaik bagi fenomena pendidikan saat ini yang akan mencipta ulang dunia di masa mendatang. Guna menafsirkan fenomena secara ketat dan dapat membawa peneliti kepada pemahaman yang menyeluruh dan sistematik tanpa mengabaikan aspek obyektivitasnya, metode hermeneutika fenomenologis menawarkan solusinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: Pertama, akar epistemologis kurikulum tercipta dan melekat dalam rasio para inovator QT yang memiliki kemampuan abstraksi tentang peserta didik sebagai diri yang memiliki potensi, sehingga melahirkan prinsip pedagogi humanisasi untuk mengantisipasi situasi dehumanisasi. Kedua, pengembangan Kurikulum Berbasis Konsensus (KBK) memberi “ruang longgar” bagi inovator pengembang kurikulum berupa fleksibilitas, sehingga lebih kreatif dalam pengembangannya. Fleksibilitas menjadi hakekat implisit, sebab pengembangannya dimulai dari komponen yang relevan dengan kondisi komunitas dan kebutuhan siswa saat kurikulum dirumuskan secara specific. Ketiga, implementasi KBK secara dinamis dan evalusi melalui metode reflektif-dialogis mampu menjadikan siswa lebih kreatif dalam belajar, karena implementasinya bersifat realistik menyentuh persoalan hidup sehari-hari yang dihadapi siswa. Keempat, esensi KBK mencerminkan upaya reproduksi budaya untuk menghasilkan pengetahuan dan penemuan subyektivitas (baru) yang benar sehingga memungkinkan bagi tumbuhnya kemandirian dan kesadaran siswa sehingga mampu “melawan” cara memerintah yang dominan. Kelima, eksistensi KBK sebagai distingsi (pembedaan diri) perilaku kolektif terhadap pelaksanaan kurikulum nasional. Sebab pelaksanaannya dimaksudkan sebagai bentuk penegasan identitas komunitas, sehingga dapat dipahami membedakan diri adalah bentuk strategi kekuasaan. Keenam, penerapan KBK mengandung makna “strategi perlawanan” terhadap sistem (pendidikan) yang dominan. Sebab tindakan “konfliktual” kolektif komunitas QT bertujuan meng[re]konstruksi unsur-unsur yang lemah dalam sistem pendidikan nasional. Ketujuh, hakekat KBK adalah memberi kesempatan kepada siswa untuk meng[re]kreasi pengetahuannya sendiri guna melakukan perubahan diri secara radikal. Radikalisme bukanlah proses idealistik, tetapi upaya mungkinkan penemuan subyektifitas baru untuk menantang kebebasan dan kemungkinan bertindak. Apabila masih mengharapkan adanya pendidikan yang relevan dengan kemampuan dan kondisi manusia yang secara hakekat berbeda-beda, kini saatnya belajar pada sekolah alternatif
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

Full text linkThe research is based on the less than optimal learning and performance management system that causes low quality of education. The purpose of the study is to examine the influence of learning and performance management on the quality of education through innovation using ICT as a mediating variable. The population is teachers of SMK Negeri 1 Pemalang, sampling with stratified random sampling technique. From the Slovin formula obtained 55 respondents. Data collection method with questionnaires. Data analysis technique with path analysis, significance 5%. The results of the study: learning management has a positive and significant effect on the quality of education 69.0%. Performance management has a positive and significant effect on the quality of education 47.7%. Sobel Test Results: through mediation using ICT, learning management has a positive and significant effect on the quality of education 81.4% and performance management has a positive and significant effect on the quality of education 84.2%. Conclusion: learning and performance management has a positive and significant direct effect on the quality of education, the mediating role of innovation using ICT can increase the positive influence of learning and performance management on the quality of educatio
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
