In her capacity as chief executive, Dr. Inna Kuswandari, M.Si., opened the activities agenda. He said in his address that teachers must write scientific papers in order to further their careers and to become more professional educators. This implies that in order for instructors to perform their jobs as effectively as possible, they will always have a duty to develop their scientific writing skills. This practice has the advantage of promoting teachers’ independence in gathering scientific data that benefits many parties, including students, institutions, and themselves.
Participating in the event on Wednesday, August 18, 2022 at SMP Negeri 3 Saradan were twenty-five instructors from all SMP subject areas. The information is provided in the form of guidelines for gathering scientific research as well as advice on how to investigate subjects for research projects. Dr. Windarto, M.Sc., and Dr. Eridani, M.Si., lecturers at Airlangga University’s FST Mathematics Study Program, served as resources. Numerous questions posed by the participants demonstrated how excited they were to participate in this exercise. “If you want to search for existing scientific work, then ATM (observe, imitate, modify) will be carried out,” was one of the inquiries. How do you prevent being thought to be duplicates?” Following the delivery of the material, the following step was the mentoring process. In this instance, the resource individuals participated in the activity were lecturers from Airlangga University’s FST Mathematics Study Program, and they evaluated the teacher’s draft scientific work. As a means of completing their primary responsibilities, it is intended that the outcomes of this activity will enhance instructors’ capacity to assemble high-caliber scientific work, particularly in terms of professionalism.
This community service project aims to assist the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including (1) SDG 1: No poverty, which emphasizes that education is one approach to raise people’s standard of life. Raising teacher competency will have an effect on raising educational quality because it is one of the criteria that determines education quality. Raising living standards will automatically lead to a decrease in poverty rates as people’s quality of life improves; (2) SDG 4: Quality education guarantees everyone’s right to inclusive, equal-quality education and promotes opportunities for lifelong learning for all. Good education guarantees that everyone has the right to an inclusive, high-quality education and encourages possibilities for lifelong learning for everyone. The quality of teachers as educators, administrators, facilitators, and assessors of learning activities has a significant impact on the quality of education; (3) SDGs 10: Reduced Inequalities, which states that education will lessen societal disparities in thought patterns and other areas; and (4) SDGs 17: Partnership for the Goals, which states that since academics possess greater knowledge, it is appropriate to share that knowledge in order to enhance teacher performance. In addition, educators have the opportunity to enhance their professional development, which will contribute to a notable improvement in Indonesian education standards. This is important to ensure that efforts to smarten the nation’s life will produce quality human resources.
