Strengthening teachers’ content knowledge is a fundamental step toward improving the quality of science learning in schools. With this commitment, SEAQIS, in collaboration with SEAMOLEC, INOVASI, and the Central Maluku Education Office, conducted the Science Content Deepening Training for Junior Secondary Science Teachers in Masohi, Central Maluku, from 21 to 23 May 2026. The programme brought together 40 junior secondary science teachers from 27 schools across Central Maluku Regency to enhance their understanding of key science concepts while promoting innovative teaching practices.
Focusing on the topics of Electricity and Magnetism and Genetics, the training encouraged participants to strengthen both their conceptual understanding and pedagogical competencies. Throughout the three-day programme, teachers participated in interactive discussions, hands-on activities, collaborative tasks, presentations, and reflective sessions that connected scientific concepts with practical classroom implementation.
In addition to deepening science content, participants explored the nature of science, distance learning management, and the development of digital learning media. The programme also introduced strategies for integrating digital technology into science teaching through blended and distance learning approaches, enabling teachers to create more contextual, inquiry-based, and student-centred learning experiences.
Beyond enhancing science content knowledge, the programme provided participants with practical strategies for addressing common student misconceptions and designing more engaging science lessons. By equipping teachers with stronger conceptual foundations and innovative instructional approaches, the initiative contributes to improving science education in Central Maluku.
