Peningkatan Kemampuan Menulis Makalah bagi Mahasiswa Baru melalui Seminar Kepenulisan Di Pondok Pesantren Darul Falah Tulungagung

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the ability of new students and Islamic boarding school students (pesantren) to write good and correct scientific papers. The main challenges faced by the participants were a lack of understanding of the structure and rules of scientific writing, as well as low motivation to write. The activity was held on October 19, 2025, at the Darul Falah Islamic Boarding School, a partner of Bhineka PGRI Tulungagung University, with 28 participants. The implementation method used interactive training through a writing seminar that combined theoretical presentations and writing practices. Evaluation was conducted using a Likert-style questionnaire with 15 statements covering four aspects: material, resource persons, benefits, and implementation techniques. The evaluation results showed an average overall score of 4.73, categorized as very good, indicating that the activity was effective and had a positive impact on participants' abilities and motivation to write scientific papers.
