Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve students’ scientific essay writing skills through a workshop-based training program at SMA Negeri 8 Makassar. The program addressed students’ low proficiency in scientific writing, particularly in organizing ideas, developing content, and using appropriate academic language. A workshop and mentoring approach was implemented, consisting of preparation, material delivery, writing practice, evaluation, and reflection. Fifty-one eleventh-grade students participated in coordination with Indonesian language teachers. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ writing performance. The average essay score increased from 61 to 84 after the program. Improvements were observed in key aspects of scientific writing, including structure, idea development, language accuracy, spelling, and content creativity. In addition, observation and questionnaire data indicated increased student engagement, confidence, and motivation in writing activities. Most students (95%) reported that the workshop was beneficial and should be continued as part of learning activities. In conclusion, the Scientific Writing workshop effectively enhanced students’ essay writing skills and positively influenced their learning motivation. Therefore, a workshop-based learning model is recommended as an alternative strategy to strengthen scientific writing literacy in secondary education.
