Teachers are expected to be more innovative in carrying out their teaching duties. However, teacher readiness to produce scientific work is still insufficient. Therefore, community service activities are held related to scientific writing training for teachers. Participants in the program were teachers and staff from SMK Migas Balikpapan. This training activity aims to: improve professionalism, inspire teachers to conduct research, and experiment with new teaching methods. As a result of this practice, the teacher's understanding of how to create and publish scientific writing improves. It can help teachers establish in their careers and contribute to the dissemination of information throughout the educational community.</em></p> Lisnawaty Simatupang Ria Setyawati Nawang Retno Dwiningrum Maria Veronika Simanjunta Enita Rayu Copyright (c) 2025 Lisnawaty Simatupang https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-02-02 2025-02-02 5 1 10.52158/jace.v5i1.622 https://journal.isas.or.id/index.php/JACE/article/view/980 <p><em>It is common knowledge in the investment world that investor candidates will look at their risk profile before determining what investment is suitable. This article aims to see the relationship between risk profile and the type of investment chosen. At the initial stage respondents were asked to answer questions to determine their risk profile. In the second stage, 40 respondents were given a deeper understanding of investment, in the third stage respondents would conduct a stock investment simulation, then respondents would trade stocks themselves according to the direction and guidance of the mentor. Three months later, respondents were surveyed about stock investment and their understanding of investments. Respondents were dominated by women and aged between 30-40 years, had jobs or were housewives. There is a relationship between risk profile and the type of investment preferred. Aggressive profiles tend to choose investments in stocks and bonds, Moderate profiles tend to choose gold and stock investments. Conservative profiles tend to choose gold and property investments. The implication is that the risk profile is used as a reference in determining the type of investment. There is a change in the way participants view investing due to risk profile factors and factors of increasing knowledge about investment, but gold investment is still the main choice because the risk profile of participants is dominated by conservative and moderate profiles.</em></p> Endang Purwaningrum ali Lini Ingriyani Fatimah Fatimah Indianik Aminah Sabar Waersini Copyright (c) 2025 ali muchtar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-02-09 2025-02-09 5 1
