Teacher’s questions in EFL classroom interaction (a descriptive study of teacher and students interaction of class XI at SMK Palapa Semarang in the academic year of 2012/2013
Get PDFQuestioning is typically implemented by teachers in their teaching process. It is a basic method implemented by teacher in order to build interaction in the classroom and also to stimulate the students to perform their speaking skill in target language. Unfortunately, some teachers do not realize about the importance of using appropriate questioning types and strategy to help the students trying to practice their speaking skill in target language.
The present study was conducted in class XI TKJ of SMK Palapa Semarang in the academic year 2012/2013 which attempted to describe the types of questions that the teacher usually applies in the classroom during teaching and learning process, to find out the teacher’s purposes of applying those levels of questioning, and to describe the effects of applying the levels of questioning for the students’ understanding of English, and to identify students’ oral responses towards teacher questions.
This is a descriptive qualitative research; the data were collected by recording the teaching and learning process and interviewing the English teacher. The transcript of the teaching and learning process and the interview were made. Each type of questions used by the teacher in teaching the students as well as students’ oral responses were analyzed, while the interview result was used as additional information for this study.
Based on the research findings, it was discovered that the teacher utilized certain types of questions. Referential-open questions that were used by the teacher were considerably fewer than the display-closed questions. Referential-open questions that can elicit longer responses had the percentage 31%. On the other hand, display-closed questions had the percentage 69%. Questions that are categorized as display/closed questions were widely used for checking students’ understanding of the materials questions that categorized as referential/open questions were widely used for looking for certain information from the students. It was found that in all season 70% of students’ responses were in form of words. The production of words was the effect of employing display/closed question. In the other hand, students’ responses in form of sentence were 7 sentences. It was the effect of employing referential/ open question

REPRESENTASI KEKUASAAN TUTURAN DOSEN DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DI JURUSAN TEKNIK MESIN POLITEKNIK NEGERI SEMARANG DITINJAU DARI PERSPEKTIF SOSIOPRAGMATIK
Get PDFPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis representasi kekuasaan dalam tuturan dosen selama proses pembelajaran di Jurusan Teknik Mesin Politeknik Negeri Semarang dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiopragmatik dan metode analisis wacana kritis. Penelitian ini menelaah bentuk-bentuk tuturan dosen yang mencerminkan kekuasaan serta konteks sosial yang melatarbelakanginya. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif dan rekaman interaksi kelas dan wawancara semi terstruktur, lalu dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kekuasaan dosen direpresentasikan melalui lima jenis tindak tutur utama, yaitu: direktif (mengatur tindakan mahasiswa secara langsung), deklaratif (menetapkan aturan dan konsekuensi), representatif (menegaskan otoritas epistemik), ekspresif (mengelola emosi dan norma moral), dan komisif (menyampaikan komitmen sebagai bentuk negosiasi). Kelima jenis tindak tutur tersebut mencerminkan dinamika kekuasaan yang bersifat fungsional, situasional, dan dialogis dalam interaksi kelas vokasional. Studi ini menegaskan pentingnya kesadaran pragmatik dosen dalam mengelola relasi kekuasaan untuk menciptakan suasana pembelajaran yang inklusif dan efektif.This study aims to analyze the representation of power in lecturers' speech during the learning process in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Semarang State Polytechnic using a sociopragmatic approach and critical discourse analysis method. This study examines the forms of lecturers' speech that reflect power and the social context behind it. Data were collected through participant observation and recordings of classroom interactions and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that lecturers' power is represented through five main types of speech acts, namely: directive (directly regulating student actions), declarative (setting rules and consequences), representative (affirming epistemic authority), expressive (managing emotions and moral norms), and commissive (conveying commitment as a form of negotiation). The five types of speech acts reflect the dynamics of power that are functional, situational, and dialogical in vocational class interactions. This study emphasizes the importance of lecturers' pragmatic awareness in managing power relations to create an inclusive and effective learning atmosphere
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
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
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
