Abstract

This study aims to describe the ability to write scientific papers of students from common mistakes and writing styles. Scientific writings intended in this study are in the form of a research report based on pre-research findings during student final project supervision which shows many writing problems. The research method used is in the form of content analysis by collecting data in a documentary manner and through questionnaires. Data were collected from the responses of 30 students and their research reports. Data were processed descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively to present data analysis based on content, structure, grammar, and neatness of writing. The results show that the introduction or background and discussion are the parts with the most errors and are considered difficult for students. In addition, from the writing style, it was also found that there were similarities in writing errors such as introductory topics about education, lack of coherence, and less varied word choices. Overall these findings indicate that the ability of students to write scientific papers for research reports is still low so follow-up efforts and optimization solutions are needed through ideal writing learning.
