    The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach to overcome mathematics learning difficulties in grade IV students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Learning difficulties experienced by students of madrasah ibtidaiyah age on average are difficulties in understanding concepts, low arithmetic operation skills, and a lack of mathematical problem-solving skills in high grades. So teachers need to create contextual, relevant, and interesting learning through the RME approach. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a case study type. The informants in this study consisted of 7 informants, namely the principal, class teacher, and 5 students. Data collection techniques include observation of the real situation in the field, interviews by asking 25–38 questions of informants, and supporting documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The data validity technique uses source triangulation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach has gone well by utilizing objects in the students' daily environment, namely donuts, pebbles, pencils, and money. This has a positive impact on overcoming students' learning difficulties, as evidenced by the increase in students' daily test scores on number and measurement material from the class average of 72.85 to 80 and 81.90. Thus, it can be implied that the importance of teachers having the right approach and model in learning, especially using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, lies in overcoming students' mathematics learning difficulties so that learning outcomes can be maximally realized. This approach is suitable for MI-aged children because, at the age of 7–11 years, students are not yet able to understand concrete material, so they need learning media or are associated with everyday life as an implementation of the RME approach.

    This research is motivated by the attention of researchers to the role of teachers and parents in developing the religious character of students. The purpose of this research is to analyze how to optimize the role of teachers and parents in improving the religious character of students. This research was conducted at MIN 1 Mataram City, NTB in the 2021/2022 academic year. Participants consisted of class teachers, principals, two students, and three parents. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. The method of data collection is carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this study indicate that efforts to optimize the role of teachers and parents in improving the religious character of students in learning are by carrying out habituation programs such as the morning Qur'an, praying, praying dhuha in the congregation, shaking hands with the teacher, and exemplary from teachers and parents by establishing cooperation between the two through the media of student worship control books which are then signed by teachers and parents, parental involvement in children's learning at home, and collaboration with community groups. Therefore, to improve the religious character of students, the role of teachers and parents is very important by guiding, familiarizing, and setting an example optimally.    Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh perhatian peneliti terhadap peran guru dan orang tua dalam mengembangkan karakter religius peserta didik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis bagaimana mengoptimalkan peran guru dan orang tua dalam meningkatkan karakter religius peserta didik madrasah ibtidaiyah.

Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan karakter peserta didik yang religius sangat pentingnya peran guru dan orang tua dengan membimbing, membimbing, dan memberi teladan secara optimal.   &nbsp

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
