Mentoring Program on Conducting Research and Writing Scientific Paper for Civil Servant Teachers

This community service aimed to address the professional development needs of teachers to enhance their career prospects. Teachers must compile portfolios to accumulate credit points for career advancement, thus necessitating their proficiency as teacher-writers. Hence, this sustainable community service sought to assist English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in secondary high schools throughout Palangka Raya in comprehending the fundamentals of scientific writing, producing scientific articles, conducting research, and drafting research reports. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, which focuses on community empowerment, was employed for this endeavor. The activities were carried out over 12 workshop sessions involving 30 EFL teachers from the English Subject Teachers Association (MGMP) for junior and senior high schools in Palangka Raya. Before and after the workshops, KWL worksheets and WhatsApp Group discussions were utilized to facilitate the teachers' learning process. The results demonstrated that: (1) mentoring activities were executed effectively, with 80% of the planned materials successfully delivered to the participants; (2) participants expressed a positive perception of the activities, including satisfaction, relevance to their needs, comprehension, and overall significance.

The high demand for poultry production has recently prompted members of the Mbesi Chicken Farmers Group in Kedungrejo Village, Rembang Regency, to focus on increasing productivity by optimizing the construction of their chicken coops. The closed-house system, suitable for the local environment and weather conditions, has been identified as the most appropriate type of poultry coop. However, the construction process is often outsourced, resulting in frequent design changes and price increases passed on to the breeders. To address this issue, the present Community Service (PkM) activity was carried out to assist farmers in creating design drawings for closed-house poultry coop buildings. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, involving direct mentoring, was employed to facilitate farmers in the process. The outcome of this community service was the submission of detailed design drawings for closed-house poultry coop buildings. An evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-testassessments, revealing that 80% of participants could read and comprehend the design drawings for planning a closed-house chicken coop system. Accordingly, the findings indicated an improvement in the partner's competence in interpreting design drawings.

Teacher Competency Standards are measures that determine the competence and professionalism of teachers. Hence, competence in managing learning materials is essential for the learning process. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4.0), educators are expected to be proficient in managing information technology-based learning materials, ensuring that the content delivered to students is of higher quality, ultimately leading to expected learning outcomes. This community service program aimed to improve teacher competence in managing information technology-based learning materials through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training. The contents included basic knowledge regarding ICT, learning material management applications, graphic design, practical training in managing learning materials, internet, and internet-based learning (e-learning). The method employed in the present community service was Participatory Action Research (PAR). The project involved 25 school teachers, resulting in an improvement in teacher competence in managing information technology-based learning materials and fostering strong motivation among teachers to utilize information technology media for gathering materials and implementing the learning process.
