Abstrak

Classroom Action Research is one of the important lifelong learning tools that every teacher needs to master in developing their professionalism. Classroom Action Research is seen as a form of research to improve the quality of teachers as implementers of the teaching and learning process so that they know very well the problems faced and the conditions to be achieved. The government, in this case the Ministry of Education and Culture (KEMDIKBUD) (1) has set a rule that teachers are required to carry out teaching activities in class and carry out assessments that continue to increase in line with their expectations for student achievement. In the promotion regulations, it is not only about fulfilling teaching hours but also scientific papers that contain teacher competencies in facilitating the learning process in class and evaluating students' abilities affectively, cognitively and psychomotorically. (2) The implementation of this regulation is expected to have a positive impact on teachers so that they are accustomed to and skilled in carrying out research, especially PTK, and are able to publish the results of their research into published scientific papers. However, in its implementation, teachers often find challenges not only in implementing PTK, but also changing the results of PTK into scientific publications. This community service activity aims to provide skills to teachers in Imogiri and increase their competencies and basic skills related to classroom action research and writing scientific articles. Implementation methods include presentation of materials by experts, interactive discussions, and technical guidance sessions. To measure the success of the program, an evaluation will be conducted through a pre-test and post-test to assess the increase in participants' understanding. The final result of this activity is expected to improve teachers' skills in conducting research, especially PTK, and to be able to publish their research results into published scientific works.
