Analysis of morphological errors in elementary school teacher education student papers

Abstract

Morphological errors are still often found in the writing of student scientific papers and can affect the accuracy and clarity of information delivery. This study aims to describe the forms of morphological errors contained in the student papers of the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program, namely Akhlak dan Aktualisasinya Dalam Kehidupan and Konsep Karakteristik dan Perbedaan Antarindividu. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data in the form of words, phrases, and linguistic forms containing morphological errors were obtained through data analysis techniques, then analyzed using content analysis. The results showed that there were seventeen morphological errors consisting of six affixation errors, nine reduplication errors, and two morpheme form errors. The most common mistake found is reduplication in the form of the less effective use of reshapes in a variety of scientific languages. In addition, errors in the use of affixes and the selection of morpheme forms were found that caused word irregularities. These findings show that students' understanding of the rules of Indonesian language morphology still needs to be improved in order to produce scientific works in accordance with the applicable linguistic rules.
