Pengaruh Pelatihan Karya Tulis Ilmiah Sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Literasi Akademik Siswa MA Nurul Qadim

Abstract

The low level of academic literacy among madrasah students presents a challenge in the field of education, particularly in writing scientific papers that adhere to academic writing conventions. This study aims to describe the implementation of scientific writing (KTI) training as a strategy to improve students’ academic literacy at MA Nurul Qadim, Probolinggo. The training included an introduction to the structure of scientific papers, proper writing techniques, and hands-on practice in writing papers based on observation or literature studies.The training employed participatory methods using a learning-by-doing and student-centered learning approach. This approach was chosen to ensure that students not only received theoretical material but also directly practiced every stage of writing a scientific paper gradually. The results of the KTI training showed improvements in students’ understanding of scientific structure and ethics, strengthened their logical thinking skills, and fostered interest in researching local issues. In addition, the training contributed to developing a more dynamic academic culture within the madrasah environment. Challenges encountered included limited reference materials, restricted training time, and varied initial abilities among students. Nevertheless, through intensive mentoring and teacher collaboration, these obstacles were gradually overcome.
