Full text linkPenelitian ini membahas tentang peningkatan pemahaman membaca siswa dengan strategi Survey, Question, Read, and Write (SQRW) di kelas VIII SMP Negeri 1 Panyabungan. Sebagian besar siswa memiliki prestasi membaca yang rendah, siswa tidak memiliki banyak kosakata, siswa tidak memiliki strategi yang baik dalam membaca. Permasalahannya dipengaruhi oleh faktor internal dan eksternal. Permasalahan dalam faktor internal adalah kesulitan siswa dalam mengidentifikasi kalimat topik, mengidentifikasi ide pendukung, mengidentifikasi makna kata yang sulit, mengidentifikasi informasi penting, serta mengidentifikasi kesimpulan. Permasalahan dalam faktor eksternal adalah motivasi, pindah ke kursi lain, berisik, dan meminta izin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pencapaian siswa dalam pemahaman membaca dan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pemahaman membaca siswa dengan menggunakan strategi survey, question, read, and write (SQRW) di kelas VIII SMP N 1 Panyabungan. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas dengan menerapkan desain Kemmis yang terdiri dari empat langkah sebagai; perencanaan, tindakan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Untuk memecahkan masalah siswa dalam membaca pemahaman, peneliti menerapkan strategi SQRW. The researcher used two cycles; every cycle consisted of two meetings. Selain itu, peserta penelitian ini adalah kelas VIII (23 siswa) dan ada kolaborasi dengan guru bahasa Inggris. Sementara itu, data berasal dari tes membaca pemahaman, observasi, dan wawancara.

Dari skor rata-rata siswa dalam siklus 1. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa skor rata-rata pada siklus kedua lebih tinggi dari siklus pertama. Berdasarkan catatan observasi dinyatakan bahwa siswa mendapat peningkatan dan siswa lebih aktif dan tertarik untuk belajar membaca pemahaman. Terkait dengan hasil wawancara, dapat diketahui bahwa pemahaman membaca siswa telah meningkat. Ini menegaskan bahwa dengan menggunakan strategi SQRW meningkatkan pemahaman membaca sisw
Improving students reading comprehension by survey, question, read, and write (sqrw) strategy at Grade VIII SMP Negeri 1 Panyabungan
Full text linkThis research was talking about improving students’ reading comprehension by Survey, Question, Read, and Write (SQRW) strategy at grade VIII SMP Negeri 1 Panyabungan. Most of students had low achievement in reading comprehension, students did not have many vocabulary, students did not have good strategy in reading. The problems were influenced by internal and external factors. The problems in internal factors were students’ difficulties in identifying topic sentence, identifying supporting idea, identifying meaning of difficult word, identifying important information, and identifying conclusion. The problems in external factors were motivation, move to another chair, noisy, and asking permission. This research purposed to describe the students’ achievement in reading comprehension and to identify the factors which influence students’ reading comprehension by using survey, question, read, and write (SQRW) strategy at grade VIII SMP N 1 Panyabungan.
Research methodology that used in this research was classroom action research by implementing the Kemmis design which consisted of four steps as; planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. To solve the students’ problems in reading comprehension, the researcher applied SQRW strategy. The researcher used two cycles; every cycle consisted of two meetings. Moreover, the participants of this research were the class of VIII (23 students) and there was collaboration with an English teacher. Meanwhile, the data was derived from reading comprehension tests, observation, and interview.
Based on the research result, showed the improvement mean score of the students. Students’ score in cycle 1 was 53.69 (26.08%) and students’ score in cycle 2 was 75.65 (69.56%). From the students’ mean score in cycle 1. It can be concluded that the mean score in the second cycle was higher than the first cycle. Based on observation notes stated that the students got improvement and the students were more active and interested in learning reading comprehension. Related to the interview result, it could be known that students’ reading comprehension had improved. It asserted that by using SQRW strategy improve students’ reading comprehension
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
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
