Abstract:
In their final year of high school, 12th-grade students face a critical transition to higher education, making it essential to develop academic writing skills through scientific paper writing. This study aims to identify the factors that significantly influence the assessment of scientific papers written by 12th-grade students at SMA Shafta Surabaya using multiple linear regression analysis. A total of 52 student papers were evaluated based on several aspects, including writing style, creativity of ideas, and quality of discussion. Descriptive analysis showed that discussion had the highest variability, while writing layout and creativity were more consistent. The multicollinearity test confirmed that all predictor variables met the criteria (VIF < 10), indicating no significant multicollinearity issues. Regression analysis revealed that writing style, creativity of ideas, and discussion significantly affected the final evaluation scores (p-value < 0.05). The model showed that a one-point increase in writing style, creativity, and discussion would raise the evaluation score by 3.24, 3.08, and 2.759 points, respectively. These findings emphasize the importance of those factors in scientific writing, making them useful as a reference for improving assessment systems to be more objective and measurable, and as a foundation for teachers and schools to enhance students' writing abilities in a critical, structured, and creative manner. This research also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (quality education), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), and SDG 9 (industry, innovation, and infrastructure).
