Restructuring and Redesigning the Pesantren Toward an Effective Educational Institution
Pesantren merupakan sistem pendidikan agama Islam berbasis masyarakat yang tertua di Indonesia. Metodologi pengajaran di pesantran bahkan sudah dikenal selama kurang lebih 400 tahun. Diantara ajaran utama pesantren adalah memberikan pengajaran tentang agama Islam, nilai-nilai luhur dalam masyarakat, selain ilmu baca tulis dan serta ilmu berhitung. Pesantren dituntut untuk mampu bersaing dengan sistem pendidikan kontemporer di Indonesia. Tantangan tidak hanya datang dari luar, melainkan juga dari dalam dunia pesantren sendiri. Peran yang sangat kompleks dari seorang Kyai misalnya, memerlukan kajian khusus, dan tulisan ini menelaah tentang sejarah, peran kyai dan kerangka institusional pesantren. Disimpulkan bahwa bahwa perlu adanya penelaahan kembali tentang peran pimpinan pesantren dan pola komunikasi di dalam pesantren dalam rangka merespon persoalan-persoalan kekinian yang mempengaruhi dunia pendidikan di Indonesia, sehingga diperlukan adanya restrukturisasi dan penataan kembali pesantren. Proses restrukturisasi meliputi transformasi peranan pimpinan dan keterlibatan para guru dalam mengembangkan kurikulum belajar mengajar. Sedangkan penataan kembali diantaranya meliputi dikembangkannya rasa tanggung jawab kolektif diantara para guru dan penataan infrastruktur pesantren. Singkatnya, pesantren sebenarnya sudah memiliki potensi dan sumber daya untuk mengakomodir perubahan yang terjadi di masyarakat. Figur kyai menjadi sangat penting untuk menelaah kembali sumberdaya dimaksud
The Angklung: The Maintenance of Indonesian Cultural Heritage through Public Pedagogy
The Angklung is a musical instrument from Indonesia. The performance of Angklung has survived 400 years of colonial rule in Indonesia, as well as endured in host countries by Indonesian migrants thereby it operates as a political, as well as, a social form of public pedagogy that enhances ‘the quality of human togetherness (Biesta 2012, p. 684). This paper outlines a brief history of the Angklung and its role as a unifying symbol of social cohesion. Research on the migration of Indonesian Colombo Plan students in the 1960s to South Australia and the continued performance of the Angklung in South Australia is explored in relation to its role as public pedagogy. Adelindo Angklung was established in 2011 in Adelaide with the aim to maintain and share Indonesian traditional music in South Australia. This paper offers insight into the performance of Angklung as a form of public pedagogy that has an enduring history across continents. We explore how the Indonesian community has embedded a sense of community within Adelaide, as well as retained connections to Indonesia through performing and practicing Angklung.</jats:p
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
