Pengenalan Karakter Plat Nomor Kendaraan Bermotor Menggunakan Zoning dan Fitur Freeman Chain Code

A license plate is one of the vehicle identities. It consists of alphabetic characters and numbers and represents provincial and area code where the vehicle is registered. This article discusses the character recognition of plate number using zoning and Freeman Chain Code (FCC). Zoning divides character image into several zones i.e. 4, 6, and 8, and then, the pattern of each character in the zone is extracted using FCC as the numerical features. The character is then classified using Support Vector Machines (SVM). It is a multi-class classification problem with 36 categories. The results show that FCC features with 8 zones give the best accuracy (87%) when compared to the other two zones

Project-based Learning in Chinese Classroom: A Way to Stimulate Students

Learning Mandarin as a foreign language not only emphasize the importance of pronunciation and mastery of vocabulary or grammar, but also the importance of understanding of the context, therefore students are able to apply when communicate using Mandarin.

The researcher asked Senior High School 5 Malang students’ to create a three minute video about visiting a sick friend. Meanwhile, the task that given to Senior High School Taruna Nala Jawa Timur students’ is to create a 3D school’s map. As a result, PjBL implementation in Mandarin classroom proved to gives an opportunity for students to apply what they have learnt in a real context so it can stimulate students in developing their language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and improve their 4Cs competencies (critical thinking, collaborative, communicative, and creative).

The researcher asked Senior High School Taruna Nala Jawa Timur students’ to create a 3D school’s map. Meanwhile, the task that given to Senior High School 5 Malang students’ is to create a three minute video about visiting a sick friend. As a result, PBL implementation in Mandarin classroom can stimulate students in developing their language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and 4C competencies (critical thinking, Collaborative, Communicative, and Creative). Besides, PBL also gives an opportunity for students to apply what they have learnt in a real context.     Keywords: Pjbl, Mandarin Classroom, High School Students, Language Skills, 4cs Competencies     Keywords: Project Based Learning, Mandarin classroom, high school students, vide

Data from an international multi-centre study of statistics and mathematics anxieties and related variables in university students (the SMARVUS dataset)

This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students from 100 universities in 35 countries, collected in 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, and the cognitive reflection test, and collected demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported and official statistics grades, and statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including testing links between anxieties and statistics/mathematics education factors, and examining instruments’ psychometric properties across different languages and contexts. Data and metadata are stored on the Open Science Framework website [https://osf.io/mhg94/]
