IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SCIENTIFIC WORK LEARNING AT OPEN UNIVERSITIES: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the implementation of Karil courses at UT with a focus on student readiness, teaching methods, lecturer guidance, and the use of technology. This research also provides recommendations to improve the quality of learning. Evaluation is carried out through a survey of students, and analysis of the results of students' scientific work. Data were collected using questionnaires designed to assess various aspects of course implementation. The findings of the study show that although students experience improved academic writing skills after taking this course, there are still several challenges, including limitations in personal guidance, technical difficulties in using e-learning platforms, and variations in the quality of scientific papers. Students feel less prepared before taking courses and need more support in terms of research methodology and guidance. The implementation of Karil courses at UT needs to be improved by providing more intensive initial guidance, increasing interaction between lecturers and students, and improving the use of technology. Recommendations include the provision of additional training, improvement of the quality of guidance, and improvement of technical support.
