Meningkatkan Kemampuan Publikasi Ilmiah Kalangan Guru Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

One form of mandatory activity for teachers in developing their competence is scientific publications. This is affirmed in Article 11 Peraturan Menteri PAN & RB No 16 tahun 2009 about Jabatan Fungsional Guru. But in the field, there are still many teachers who have difficulty fulfilling the obligations of scientific publications so that their careers are hampered. This also happened in the Kelompok Kerja Guru (KKG) XIV of Kota Parepare, specifically there were problems: 1) Limitations of understanding of scientific publications for the development of professionalism and elementary school teacher careers, 2) Low competency in preparing applicative research proposals for elementary school teachers, and 3) Low competency in the preparation of scientific articles and strategies for publishing scientific articles in scientific journals. For this purpose, this service activity aims to provide solutions to these problems, namely by implementing the Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) in the form of Research Assistance and Preparation of Scientific Articles Eligible Publication for Elementary Teachers. Activities are carried out in 3 stages: 1) debriefing material on Teacher Career Development Policy & its Regulations, 2) Technical Guidance for Educational Research and 3) Technical Guidance for Preparing Scientific Articles that are Publication. After all stages of the PKM have been implemented, it can be concluded that the implementation of this PKM has provided a solution to the partner's problems. Although individually not all teachers are able to achieve the target, in general the teachers of the KKG XIV Kota Parepare members have been able to improve: 1) their insights on Teacher Career Development Policies & Regulations, 2) their ability to technically plan and carry out educational research and 3) his ability to technically compile scientific articles that are worthy of publication.
