How Competence of Production, Attention, Retention, Motivation, and Innovation can Improve Students’ Scientific Writing Skills

Abstract

This research aimed to prove the role of production, attention, retention, motivation, and innovation in students’ scientific writing skills at the Islamic Study College (PTAI) in Cirebon. This experimental research used a quasi-experimental design and a nonequivalent control group design. The experiment was conducted in two groups, experiment and control groups. The research samples included Lecturers from a public Islamic University. The experiment group samples were 38 students of the Philosophy of Religion Department. The control group consisted of 33 Islamic Guidance and Counseling Department students. The collection technique used was tested, comprised of a pretest and posttest. The two groups were given the same tests (pretest and posttest), and the results were compared. The instrument used in this research was a test. Validity determination for the scientific writing ability variable was not measured statistically but through construct validity. The reliability test resulted in a reliability coefficient from an assessor of 0.82, while all assessors' average rating reliability coefficient was 0.93. The normality test results on scientific writing ability data with the control class show Lo = 0.106 < Lt = 0.154. Meanwhile, the normality test on the experiment class’s scientific writing ability data results in a maximum Lo of 0.106 and Lt = 0.144. The balance test results show the score of tcount = 1.51 < ttable = 1.67. The data analysis with t independent test resulted in the score of tcount > ttable (10.45 > 1.65). This shows that the competence of production, attention, retention, motivation, and innovation can improve students’ scientific writing skills.

Contributing Factors and Challenges in Mastering Academic Writing Skills: Multiple Case Studies of Deaf Students in Inclusive Universities in Indonesia

“…Academic text writing is what learners do to communicate with other learners in their field of study, according to their disciplines (Greene & Lidinsky, 2018). This lends credence to the notion that writing is a communication analogous to spoken language (Mulyaningsih et al, 2022).…”

Healthy Snacks: Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis of Traditional Food Brand Corporate Storytelling

“…These stories are often told in commercials for a variety of different businesses. They are painstakingly crafted using a variety of semiotic materials, including language (Mulyaningsih et al, 2022), visuals, symbols, and colors, to establish a brand identity (Rahmat et al, 2022), differentiate the companies from traditional food manufacturers, and give the impression that their products are both enjoyable and beneficial to one's health. In this study, we use social semiotics theory and multimodal critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 1993;Jørgensen & Phillips, 2012) to investigate the organizations' narratives as mentioned above, with a specific emphasis on the means by which this positioning is accomplished.…”

Influence of the Guided Inquiry Learning Model and Scientific Attitude in Physics on Students' Science Process Skills

“…In Table 3 it can be seen that the t value for the experimental class is 0.08 and the control class is 0.09, while the L table value for both classes is 0.15. Budiyono in Mulyaningsih et al (2022) states the normality testing criteria, if L0 < Ltable then the data is declared to be normally distributed. In accordance with the test criteria for the Liliofers test, both Lo values < Ltable.…”
