Indo Global Mandiri University (IGM) received an industrial visit from Puspita Air Kumbang High School in the 3rd Floor Hall of the Sudirman Campus on Tuesday (10/2).
The main agenda of this visit was focused on Scientific Writing Training, which was guided directly by a team of expert lecturers from IGM University. This training aimed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the world of research from an early age, in order to improve academic literacy standards at the school level.
During the training session, students were given in-depth material on the basic structure of scientific papers, starting from writing an interesting title, writing the background, formulating problems, selecting research methods, to drawing accurate conclusions.
The accompanying lecturers also provided practical guidance on techniques for determining research topics that are relevant to phenomena in the surrounding environment so that the research results are more applicable. The students’ active involvement was evident during the question and answer session on how to find and cite references correctly. This was done to instill academic discipline and integrity in their work.
In addition to technical aspects, the main focus of the material was education on tips for avoiding plagiarism. Students were taught the importance of respecting intellectual property rights through paraphrasing techniques and the proper use of reference managers.
During the meeting, it was emphasized that the ability to write scientific papers is not only important for completing school assignments, but also serves as essential preparation that will greatly determine success when entering college. This knowledge about academic honesty is expected to shape students’ character to be independent and credible in conveying their written ideas.
With the scientific writing skills they have learned, Puspita Air Kumbang High School students are expected to be able to produce creative works based on strong data and facts. (andhiko ta)
