Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Group Investigation untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Metakognitif Siswa Kelasvii SMP Negeri 4 Lamboya

Based on interviews and observations, the metacognitive skills of the seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 4 Lamboya are still low. This is because the thinking skills have not been empowered in school. Need effort to overcome this, one way that is implementation of learning model study of Group Investigation (GI). The purpose of applying the Group Investigation learning model (GI) to improve students\u27 metacognitive skills. This research is a class action research (PTK) consisting of 4 stages of Planning, Action, Observation, Reflection which is implemented in two cycles. The subjects of the study were students of class VII A SMP Negeri 4 Lamboya academic year 2016/2017 as many as 23 students. The results showed that the percentage of masakognitif skill resulted from (51.08) in cycle I to (73,52) in cycle II. The conclusion of this research is Group Investigation study model (GI) can improve metacognitive skill of class VII A student of SMP Negeri 4 Lamboya

Long-time fidelity and chaos for a kicked nonlinear oscillator system

We deal with a system comprising a nonlinear (Kerr-like) oscillator excited by a series of ultra-short external pulses. We introduce the fidelity-based entropic parameter that can be used as an indicator of quantum chaos. Moreover, we propose to use the fidelity-like parameter comprising the information about the mean number of photons in the system. We shall concentrate on the long-time behaviour of the parameters discussed, showing that for deep chaos cases the quantum fidelities behave chaotically in the classical sense despite their strictly quantum character.Comment: 20 pages including 8 figure

Lexical conversion in Shakespeare: a morphosemantic study

The article is an empirical, corpus-based study of conversion sampled in the language of Shakespeare’s plays. It surveys quantitative tendencies of conversion patterns occurring in the corpus, discusses the productivity of referential types, and looks into the qualitative aspects of N→V data. The latter issue is then placed against the context of the general discussion on conversion that has been being held in the present scholarship

"Tertium non datur"? : wildness and methodology

The choice of the paper for this volume has been largely limited by editorial requirements: the language of publication (English) and the original publisher (University of Silesia Press). In fact, this particular article would have been pretty far down the line of papers I would wish to have republished on this occasion — not because I consider it unworthy, but because there are other papers, both those already anthologized and more recent, which in a more direct way formulate my theoretical stance and, in my opinion, are more clearly identifiable contributions to literary studies. There are, however, reasons which justify the inclusion of “Tertium non datur?…” in the anniversary volume. The paper not only reflects my constant interest in methodological issues, but also — rather unusually on my part — combines methodological and theoretical considerations with actual analyses of literary texts (W.B. Yeats, Wisława Szymborska); it actually contains — which may be of some anecdotal interest — my own translation of a poem by Szymborska from the time before her Nobel Prize, when she was not yet a celebrity. The methodological stance of the argument is best epitomized in its closing sentence: “It is this wild terrain of the spectrum, which contests the tertium non datur principle, that I want to postulate as the area of our exploration.” From the theoretical perspective, this contestation of the tertium non datur foreshadows the concept of the Third, which I developed later, and which for some time became a subject of inquiry in the Institute, and also evoked more general interest in other centres in Poland (especially — and with mutual inspiration — among young scholars in the cultural studies department at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań). Still within the realm of theory, the paper in a prelim inary way focuses — via literary analysis — on the difference within (rather than difference between), which again became one of the leading motifs in my proposal for nomadic genre studies. Albeit brief, the article thus modestly prefigures some areas of my subsequent research. On a different note, what I personally like about it, is the uncovering of the paradoxical nature of the concept of the wild as the most tamed of all concepts, and, paradoxically again, as resisting the regime of duality through its own inherent self‑contradictoriness

Against the frame

The paper explores theoretical foundations of the frame from two semiotic perspectives: that of the Saussurean dyadic sign dominant in the European tradition and that of the triadic sign of the Peircean/American descent. If - within the post-Saussurean agenda - meaning can be fairly easily "framed" and closed in the field of the signified, Peirce's concepts of interpretant and infinite semiosis implement a mechanism which inherently obliterates the frame. Given this duality of approaches, the contention "No meaning without a frame" is thus true and paradoxical at the same time, and that paradox goes far beyond the Derridean concept of the parergon, which only belongs to both the inside and the outside. The frame, as construed in this paper, is not merely a material or imaginary, inactive partition, but is itself an operational agent which isolates and delineates a text ontologically as the other of the context, and simultaneously subverts that otherness by necessitating further semiosis and its own partial self-erasure. Regarding the interrelations amongst texts and between text and context, the frame is thus envisaged, and investigated in the paper, not so much as a factor of resistance or separation, but as an osmotic boundary facilitating rather than preventing a bi-directional flow of meanings. Putting this in epistemological terms, one may say that interpretation - paradoxically again - requires an enframing of its object, but at the same time it dissolves the stipulated frame and reaches beyond it

The Wild, the Unconscious, the Mad

While the medical science recognises a number of symptoms which point to a particular mental disease and the methods of diagnosis and treatment are very advanced, madness still remains a vague and unclear term. This opaqueness becomes evident when one attempts to position a barrier separating sanity and insanity, and finds that the two elements of the binary opposition are, in fact, blended into one another without a precise point of distinction. Instinctively one feels that such a border must exist, but its location remains unclear. When investigating, for example, the effects of a horror story, which deals with madness, upon its reader one cannot resist the impression that the narrative in some way provides a very close insight into insanity. This insight exists, however, only in the form of a short-lasting emotional imprint; by no means is it an actual dynamic process of crossing a supposed barrier between sanity and madness. Madness stubbornly avoids enclosure into semantic boundaries: attempts at finding the line which separates the world of the normal and the world of the mentally sick seem futile

Between theory and narrative : a mask as a hermetextual artefact in "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe

Maska, będąca jednym z głownych elementow kamuflażu, jest symbolem szczegolnym.Jako nieodłączny element estetyki literatury grozy skrywa zarowno tożsamośćpostaci, jak i nierzadko jej mroczne intencje. Jednak sprowadzenie maski jedynie doroli kamuflującego akcesorium byłoby dużym uproszczeniem. Niniejszy artykuł jestprobą ukazania podwojnej funkcji maski w opowiadaniu Edgara Allana Poe BeczkaAmontillado, funkcji modyfikującej dwie płaszczyzny: wewnętrzną, na poziomie narracjitekstu, oraz poza-tekstową, wyznaczającą kierunek interpretacji dla czytelnika. Maskaw tym opowiadaniu pełni rolę zarowno narracyjno-symboliczną, jak i hermeneutyczną:to co skrywa przed bohaterem-ofiarą tekstu, nieszczęsnym Fortunato, ujawniaprzed czytelnikiem, wciągając obydwu w grę podwojnego znaczenia. Artykuł analizujei opatruje komentarzem sekwencje wydarzeń przedstawione w opowiadaniu, ukazującdwie rownoległe linie fabularne tekstu: wydarzenia, tak jak jawią się oczom Fortunato,oraz wydarzenia, takimi jakimi powinien widzieć je czytelnik podążający za zwodniczymgłosem narratora-mściciela Mortesora.
