Three major social science works from ISR Vietnam (Chinese language version)

Ethnomusicology of the Creative Process

This chapter provides a critical history of ethnomusicology of the creative process, from the first works on oral-tradition societies and their “instinct of variation” to the most recent reflections on transcultural music and digital audio production. It shows that the question of creative process extends throughout the history of ethnomusicology and reflects the vitality of debate within the discipline. The chapter includes references from different ethnomusicological currents or schools of thought, both English- and French-speaking, from countries of the North as well as countries of the South. All these references are situated within the major social science research paradigms that have nourished ethnomusicology throughout its history.

Cognitive Process By Students’ Majoring in Natural and Social Science in Writing Analytical Exposition Text

This study deals with the cognitive process by students’ majoring in natural and social science in Writing Analytical Exposition Text. This study attempted to investigate the reasons why the cognitive process happens in writing analytical exposition text the way it does. The data in this study were the students of SMA Nurul Iman from two different majors; they were three students of Natural Science Major and three students of Social Science Major. This study was conducted by using qualitative design of which instrument are both writing test and interview. The research findings show that the cognitive processes of the students of the two majors were different in planning, translating and reviewing. The students majoring in natural and social science write analytical exposition in similarity and different cognitive process. The similarity is that both students majoring write analytical text in terms three stages; planning, translating, and reviewing, and the different are that the two major student perform cognitive process in different stage. The students majoring in Natural Science use the information in the assignment to generate new information then relate it with their experience and they know about the topic to be developed. Whereas, students majoring in Social Science do not really know about the topic and do not relate it with their experience so that way they could not generate content information and develop the text.

A Systematic Review of the Association Between Partnership and Life Satisfaction

Demographic trends in partnership have revealed that more people are remaining single or becoming single as they grow older by choice or life circumstance. Understanding whether there is an association between partnership and life satisfaction may provide relevant information on how to better support individuals either choosing or finding themselves single. Although there are a limited number of studies with the explicit purpose of examining partnership status and life satisfaction, this review intended to synthesize current knowledge in order to better understand and explore the context of this important demographic trend. This review examined published peer-reviewed articles in three major social science databases (PsycArticles, PsycINFO, and Social Services Abstract) between 2009 and 2020 and identified nine articles for inclusion. Examining single persons compared to those in marital or nonmarital partnerships, the results of this review indicate a more positive association between partnership and life satisfaction while also demonstrating several gaps and a lack of research. The results of this review support the need for more in-depth research on the life satisfaction of adults as well as a greater exploration of the context of life satisfaction among diverse groups of single adults.

Korelasi Jurusan dan Asal Sekolah Terhadap Kemampuan Calon Guru Sekolah Dasar dalam Membedakan Rangkaian Seri dan Paralel

The ability to distinguish series and parallel circuits is one of the core abilities that must be mastered before learning various electrical circuits, from simple electrical circuits to complex electrical circuits taught to students at the elementary school to secondary school level. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether there is a significant relationship between student majors during high school and the origin of schools on the ability of students to distinguish series and parallel circuits. This research is quantitative research with an ex-post-facto approach and conducted on students at the University of Mataram Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program with a proportion of 119 respondents (Science Major), 61 people (Social Science Major), 6 people (Language Major) and 7 respondents coming from vocational high schools. Data is collected using test techniques provided through Google Form. Data were analysed using the biserial point correlation. The hypothesis is tested by comparing the value of the biserial point correlation with the value of r product moment. The results showed that the biserial point value between Science Major - Social Science Major, Science Major – Language Major, Social Science Major – Language Major and Senior High School - Vocational School were all below the r product moment value so it can be concluded that there was no significant relationship between the majors of students during high school and the origin of the school's ability to distinguish series and parallel circuits.

Comparative views on research productivity differences between major social science fields in Vietnam: Structured data and Bayesian analysis, 2008-2018

Since Circular 34 from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam required the head of the national project to have project results published in ISI/Scopus journals in 2014, the field of economics has been dominating the number of nationally-funded projects in social sciences and humanities. However, there has been no scientometric study that focuses on the difference in productivity among fields in Vietnam. Thus, harnessing the power of the SSHPA database (http://sshpa.com/), a comprehensive dataset of 1,564 Vietnamese authors (854 males, 705 females) with 2,410 publications in the 2008 – 2018 period was extracted and analyzed. Various factors were considered including age, gender, new authors, leading authors, co-authorship, and Impact Factor. The findings suggest a high level of contribution from authors at the age of 40 – 44 in economics (858 publications) in a 12-years period, which is equivalent to the social medicine total output, and two times more than the total output of the education. Moreover, the presence and reinforcement of male researchers are still dominating in Economics and other fields, with the only exception of education. Despite the rapid rise in the number of Vietnamese lead authors, gender disparity among disciplines is an issue. Contrary to the strong international collaboration-oriented tendency in social medicine, economics, and other fields, educational authors are not open to international collaborating. Finally, most of the publications in economics belong to the group with JIF from 0 to 2, in contrast with the high number of social medicine publications with JIF from 2 to 5, which suggesting the field of economics is fulfilling the quantity, but still, need more quality publications.

Open Science Practices are on the Rise: The State of Social Science (3S) Survey

Has there been meaningful movement toward open science practices within the social sciences in recent years? Discussions about changes in practices such as posting data and pre-registering analyses have been marked by controversy—including controversy over the extent to which change has taken place. This study, based on the State of Social Science (3S) Survey, provides the first comprehensive assessment of awareness of, attitudes towards, perceived norms regarding, and adoption of open science practices within a broadly representative sample of scholars from four major social science disciplines: economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. We observe a steep increase in adoption: as of 2017, over 80% of scholars had used at least one such practice, rising from one quarter a decade earlier. Attitudes toward research transparency are on average similar between older and younger scholars, but the paceof change differs by field and methodology. According with theories of normal science and scientific change, the timing of increases in adoption coincides with technological innovations and institutional policies. Patterns are consistent with most scholars underestimating the trend toward open science in their discipline.

The Social Effects of Exergames on Older Adults: Systematic Review and Metric Analysis (Preprint)

BACKGROUND Recently, many studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of exergames on the social well-being of older adults. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper is to synthesize existing studies and provide an overall picture on the social effects of exergames on older adults. METHODS A comprehensive literature search with inclusive criteria was conducted in major social science bibliographic databases. The characteristics of exergames, participants, methodology, as well as outcome measurements were extracted from the relevant studies included in the review. The bibliometric and altmetric outreach of the included studies were also investigated. RESULTS A total of 10 studies were included in the review, with 8 studies having used the Nintendo Wii platform. Most of the studies recruited healthy older adults from local communities or senior activity centers. Three groups of social-related outcomes have been identified, including emotion-related, behavior-related, and attitude-related outcomes. A metric analysis has shown that the emotion-related and behavior-related outcomes received high attention from both the academic community and social media platforms. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the majority of exergame studies demonstrated promising results for enhanced social well-being, such as reduction of loneliness, increased social connection, and positive attitudes towards others. The paper also provided implications for health care researchers and exergame designers.

Systematic Review of Social–Emotional Screening Instruments for Young Children in Child Welfare

Purpose: The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act requires child welfare agencies to have provisions in place to refer young children to early intervention services, yet the socioemotional health needs of children are often challenging to recognize and treat effectively. This study reviews the substantive and psychometric properties of screening instruments designed for children ages 10 and younger. Methods: Major social science databases, websites of national organizations, and the Mental Measurements Yearbook were used to identify instruments for review. Results: Twenty-four instruments met review criteria, and eight show above-average measurement properties and testing, tap children’s strengths and concerns, and have evidence of validity with families similar to child welfare–involved families. Discussion: It is important to effectively screen for children showing concerns in early childhood, so that treatment and prevention can be prioritized. This study indicated several tools with adequate testing and with emerging evidence and applicability to child welfare.
