Science teachers play a central role in helping students connect scientific concepts with real-world challenges. To strengthen this role, SEAQIS, in collaboration with the Science Teachers’ Working Group (MGMP IPA) of Gianyar Regency, organised the Training on STEM Integration in Science Learning from 19 to 21 May 2026 at SMP Negeri 1 Gianyar, Bali. The programme brought together 30 junior secondary science teachers from schools across Gianyar Regency to enhance their capacity to design and implement engaging, contextual, and STEM-integrated science learning.
Throughout the three-day programme, participants explored the principles and characteristics of STEM education through interactive presentations, collaborative discussions, and hands-on learning experiences. The training also served as a platform for teachers to exchange ideas, reflect on classroom practices, and explore practical strategies for integrating STEM into science instruction.
A major component of the programme was the application of the Engineering Design Process (EDP) through a series of project-based learning activities. Participants analysed science topics suitable for STEM integration, designed contextual STEM projects, and developed instructional materials tailored to their students’ learning needs. These activities encouraged teachers to translate STEM concepts into meaningful classroom experiences while strengthening their creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Through this programme, SEAQIS continues to support science teachers in strengthening their professional competencies and advancing STEM education in Indonesia. By empowering teachers with practical knowledge and innovative teaching strategies, the programme contributes to creating science learning experiences that are more meaningful, relevant, and responsive to the needs of future generations.
