Analysis of spelling errors in student papers case studies on counseling education and guidance papers

Abstract

Spelling errors are still often found in students' scientific papers and can affect the quality and clarity of the information conveyed. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the forms of spelling errors contained in student papers based on the General Guidelines for Indonesian Spelling (PUEBI). This study aims to analyze spelling errors contained in PGSD student papers. In the PGSD student paper that has been presented, the mistake is that you will see the spelling element of writing in the paper.  The method used is descriptive with language error analysis techniques. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mistakes students make when using EBI in their papers. The results of the analysis showed that spelling errors were more common in both papers, including: (1) errors in writing absorption words; (2) misuse of capital letters; (3) non-standard word writing errors: (4) question mark errors in question sentences; and (5) errors in the writing of remunerative/combined words; (6) period errors; (7) comma error; (8) incorrect date writing; (9) misspelling of terms; and (10) the use of ineffective sentences. These findings show that the understanding and application of PUEBI by students still needs to be improved so that the quality of writing scientific papers becomes better and in accordance with the rules of the Indonesian language.
