Scientific writing serves as a platform for students to convey their knowledge, experiences, and information to readers. Data literacy is a crucial tool that aids students in developing, analyzing, and concluding the data they have gathered into well-constructed scientific writing. This research aims to describe students' ability to write scientific papers with respect to data literacy in higher education institutions. To gather research data, the researchers employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data in this study represent the challenges or difficulties faced by the students. Data collection techniques include careful observation and reading of these papers, and documentation techniques involve marking or noting significant parts of the students' scientific works. Data analysis involved mapping frequent errors and calculating the percentage of these errors based on the characteristics of scientific writing. The results indicated that students' ability to write scientific papers remains low, particularly in the areas of idea development and discussion. The following percentages illustrate the students' writing abilities and data literacy: 14.25% of students can develop ideas, with 19% data literacy at the analysis stage. The ability to write the results and discussion sections of scientific papers is at 13.40%, with 12.40% data literacy at the conclusion-making stage. In the concluding section, 71.20% of students accurately write conclusions, with 67.60% data literacy at the reading stage. This study's findings highlight persistent issues in idea development and the results and discussion sections in scientific writing at higher education institutions. Further research should focus on these sections to address the difficulties identified in this study.

This research investigates wheter integrating the demonstration method with a TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) approach in classroom learning can improve students ability to write procedure texts. A quasi experimental pre-test post-test control group design was employed to examine this effect. The target population for this study included all fourth grade students at SDN Kedaung Wetan 2. A sample of 40 students was selected, with 20 students from class 4A assigned to the control gorup and 20 students from class 4B assigned to the experimental group. The instrument used in this study was a written test. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 27 program. Both the Paired Sample T-Test (Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.001) and the Independent Samples T-Test (Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.075) yielded statistically significant results (p = 0.05), indicating that the null hypothesis (Ho) can be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This suggest a significant difference between the learning outcomes of students receiving traditional instruction. Furthermore, the N-Gain Score analysis revealed an average improvement of 56% in the learning outcomes. This finding supports the notion that the TPACK integrated method has a positive inflluence on students ability to write procedure texts.  

This research is motivated by a learning system that only focuses on teachers and books, with no sound, images or videos to support the activity of writing descriptive text. This research aims to determine the influence that occurs before and after using Biteable media on the ability to write descriptive text for class VII students. The competency standards to be achieved in this research are in the 2013 curriculum with KD 3.2 and 4.2. This research uses an experimental method with a one group design with data collection through observation, interviews, and administering pre-tests and post-tests. This research was conducted at Jambi Medan Private Middle School with class VII-A as the sample class used. Based on the research results, it can be seen that the pre-test score (before treatment) was 57.2 and the post-test score (after treatment) was 80.4. Based on the results of calculations that have been carried out using the t test, the value of tcount = 5.51 is obtained. After tcount is known, this value will then be consulted at a significance level of α = 0.05 and n = 29, obtained ttable = 2.045. Thus, it can be concluded that tcount > ttable, namely 5.51 > 2.045, so the alternative hypothesis (Hα) is accepted.
