Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Karya Ilmiah Mahasiswa Geografi Melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, Society)

Abstract

Writing is a process for expressing ideas. Facts in the field show that most students still think that writing is a difficult and insignificant thing. Another fact shows that the writing culture has shifted to a copy-paste culture. Therefore, a certain strategy is needed to stimulate students to overcome various difficulties in writing scientific papers. This study aims to improve students' scientific writing skills by applying SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, Society) based learning. The research method used was Classroom Action Research with the Kemmis and Mctaggart model. The research subjects were 14 students of the Geography Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Lambung Mangkurat University. The data analysis used was the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The results showed that the average score of students' scientific writing skills in pre-action was 59.14% (sufficient category), 70.42% in Cycle I (good category), and 76.71% in Cycle II (good category). Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the application of SETS-based learning can improve scientific writing skills for students of the Geography Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Lambung Mangkurat.
