This research aimed to prove the role of production, attention, retention, motivation, and innovation in students’ scientific writing skills at the Islamic Study College (PTAI) in Cirebon. This experimental research used a quasi-experimental design and a nonequivalent control group design. The experiment was conducted in two groups, experiment and control groups. The research samples included Lecturers from a public Islamic University. The experiment group samples were 38 students of the Philosophy of Religion Department. The control group consisted of 33 Islamic Guidance and Counseling Department students. The collection technique used was tested, comprised of a pretest and posttest. The two groups were given the same tests (pretest and posttest), and the results were compared. The instrument used in this research was a test. Validity determination for the scientific writing ability variable was not measured statistically but through construct validity. The reliability test resulted in a reliability coefficient from an assessor of 0.82, while all assessors' average rating reliability coefficient was 0.93. The normality test results on scientific writing ability data with the control class show Lo = 0.106 < Lt = 0.154. Meanwhile, the normality test on the experiment class’s scientific writing ability data results in a maximum Lo of 0.106 and Lt = 0.144. The balance test results show the score of tcount = 1.51 < ttable = 1.67. The data analysis with t independent test resulted in the score of tcount > ttable (10.45 > 1.65). This shows that the competence of production, attention, retention, motivation, and innovation can improve students’ scientific writing skills.

In Indonesia, this wonder happens in light of the fact that the procedure of statistic progress that created since a couple of years back was quickened by our accomplishment in diminishing fruitfulness rates, improving the nature of wellbeing and the achievement of improvement programs since the New Order time as of recently. Along these lines, Indonesia has a statistic reward which is a reward or opportunity (fateful opening) appreciated by a nation because of the huge extent of the beneficial populace (age extend 15-64 years) in the development of the populace it encounters. At that point a parameter called "reliance proportion", which is the proportion that shows the correlation among beneficial and non-gainful age gatherings. This proportion likewise shows what number of inefficient individuals whose lives must be borne by the gainful age gathering. The lower the dependency ratio of a country, the more the country is to get a demographic bonus as future development capital.

Indonesia is a country which has a characteristic of cultural diversity. In Indonesia, the facts of plurality can be identified in around 650 local languages, 700 ethnic groups, and five religions. According to the facts, we can declare that Indonesia is a home for plurality. Today the plurality is challenged by exclusivism and primordialism. Recently, in Indonesia, several bombs blasted, and some people have been killed, and others are injured by the bomb. The unity among the people like Moslem and Christian is threatened un-united. This paper tries to offer a model of plurality, taking as an example, the oral tradition of The lego-lego performance which has been successfully cultivated and nurtured by the Alor people in Alor-Pantar island, East Nusa Tenggara. Alor-Painter has 18 local languages, 24 ethnic groups, and three major religions, which is a miniature of diversity in Indonesia. The lyrics of the lego-lego performance express the concepts of run kakang airing 'brotherhood,' and "toramiti tominuku" or "Haki-Haki tifang left Narang" 'unity in diversity.' Both concepts have been inherited through one of the traditions that are the "lego-lego" dance. This paper tries to show the experience to gain a mutual understanding of how to nurture diversity and reveal the inclusive identity of Alor in Indonesia.
