Discussion

Discussion is the most important part of the overall content of a scientific article. The purpose of the discussion is: answering research problems, interpreting findings, integrating research findings into existing knowledge tools, and developing new theories or modifying existing ones.

The presentation of the Results and Discussion Chapters can also be done by referring to the systematics of 5W1H, namely What, When, Why, Who, Where, and How. Present this chapter well so that this community service activity can be really useful so that it can be used as a reference for similar activities by various other writers.

The content in this chapter should contain scientific theories related to the activities carried out. Scientific information is more emphasized than reporting the course of activities carried out (scientific articles are different from activity reports).

  1. CONCLUSION

Contains conclusions and suggestions. The conclusion contains the answers to the research question. Advice refers to the results of research and takes the form of practical actions, such as to whom and what the advice is intended for. Written in essay form, not numerical form.

  1. ACKNOWLEDGE
