Abstract

In the 21st century, students' lack of knowledge in writing scientific papers. The urgency of researching factors that strengthen students' scientific writing skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and analyse multidimensional factors that influence students' difficulties in scientific writing. The study used a mixed methods approach. The sample consisted of 150 Indonesian Literature and English students. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of SPSS version 29.0. The results showed a mean level of student difficulty of 3.57 (SD = 0.64) in the medium-high category. The KMO value = 0.871, Bartlett's χ² = 3254.231 (p < 0.001), and Cronbach's Alpha = 0.923 indicated excellent validity and reliability of the instrument. Regression analysis showed that lecturer guidance (β = 0.542) was the most dominant factor, followed by technical and cognitive aspects, while psychological aspects (β = -0.276) had a negative effect. In conclusion, students' scientific writing skills are determined by the synergy between academic guidance from lecturers, technical skills, and psychological support. Practical implications: Universities need writing skills training directly integrated with lecturer guidance.

Abstract

The low ability of high school students in mastering English for Specific Purposes (ESP) lessons is caused by the dominance of conventional methods that are theoretical and less contextual. The urgency lies in learning innovations that can improve students' language skills and learning motivation. The aim is to analyze the effectiveness of using VR in ESP learning, evaluating its influence on student motivation and learning outcomes. The research approach uses a quantitative quasi-experimental design. The sample is two high school classes, each consisting of 33 students. Data were collected through tests via pre-test and post-test, learning motivation questionnaires and observations. Data analysis techniques were carried out using normality tests, homogeneity, one-way ANOVA, effect size and Pearson correlation with the help of SPSS 29.0. The results showed a significant increase in the experimental group compared to the control group, with the average learning outcome increasing from 66.12 to 85.45 and learning motivation reaching an average of 84.76. The effect size values ​​of 2.47 and 2.17 for motivation indicate a very large influence. There is a strong positive correlation (r = 0.782) between motivation and learning outcomes. Conclusion: The use of VR significantly improves the effectiveness of ESP learning and student motivation. Implications: The impressive integration of technology into the English curriculum creates interactive, contextual, and relevant learning.
