THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC WORKS IN THE WORLD OF EDUCATION

Abstract

Research and publication of scientific papers are inseparable because research will be in vain if it is only stored in archives or libraries and not published in journals or presented in seminars. Educators, especially teachers, and lecturers, must be more professional and competent in carrying out their duties, so they must conduct research to find new things in the fields of science they are engaged in. The purpose of writing this article is to see the important role of research and publication of scientific papers in education. We all know that the field of education has changed a lot since the Covid-19 pandemic. The learning process has become more flexible, where it is no longer limited to classrooms or rooms but can be done anywhere and anytime. However, several things must be considered in the development of this world of education, namely how research and publication of scientific papers need special attention from the government. By using qualitative research methods and a phenomenological approach, this article tries to analyze how the government views this research and publication as important so that regulations or laws need to be made to develop this field of research. The science that continues to develop needs to be followed by ongoing research and publication so that education does not stop at one point but continues to move following the progress of science.
