Model Klinik Penulisan Berbasis Penelitian Tindakan Kelas untuk Penguatan Kompetensi Guru dalam Penyusunan Karya Ilmiah

Abstract

Continuous professional development requires teachers to reflect on classroom practice and produce scientific work. This program aimed to implement a Classroom Action Research (CAR)-Based Writing Clinic Model to strengthen teachers’ competence in preparing CAR proposals and scientific writing. The program involved 20 vocational school teachers in Indramayu Regency through socialization, workshops, technical training, proposal-writing practice, writing clinics, mentoring, and evaluation. Data were collected through competency assessments at two stages, observation, documentation, and a proposal assessment sheet. The results showed an increase in competency scores from 24 (60%) to 36 (90%), representing a 30-percentage-point increase. The largest gains occurred in identifying problems, developing CAR titles, and organizing proposals. However, the CAR methodology score remained at 3, while research instruments and data analysis still required strengthening. CAR proposals were still being developed and teachers’ scientific articles had not yet been produced at the progress-report stage. The findings indicate that integrating training and clinical mentoring strengthens initial competence while identifying needs for continued assistance..
