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.
