In order to mutually support and bolster programmes among the technical implementation units under the Directorate General of Teachers and Educational Personnel from Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, SEAQIS has initiated several collaborations with Professional Development Centre for Educators in Indonesia. In 2024, SEAQIS started to collaborate with Professional Development Centre for Educators of South Sulawesi Province through STEM training for science teachers at the primary, junior, and senior high levels.
This training took place from 3 to 7 February 2024 at Aryaduta Hotel, Makassar, and was attended by 132 participants with 44 persons at each level. Mr Reza Setiawan, Mr Lukman Nulhakim, Ms Lintang Ratri Prastika, Mr Septian Karyana, and Mr Gunawan Muhammad were assigned as facilitators for this training. The training was officially opened by Mr Harisman, the Head of General Department from Professional Development Centre for Educators of South Sulawesi Province. He conveyed that this training was aimed at enhancing science teachers’ skills and strengthening the concept of Profil Pelajar Pancasila by integrating STEM.
The participants broaden their knowledge on the definition and characteristics of STEM as well as how to develop STEM-based learning tools for intracurricular and co-curricular activities. They produced the drafts for lesson plans or modules of Profil Pelajar Pancasila’s strengthening project based on STEM. Those drafts will be further developed and implemented after the participants come back to their respective schools.
At the end of this training, Mr Harisman expressed that the Professional Development Centre for Educators of South Sulawesi highly appreciated and would like to continue the collaboration programme with SEAQIS, so that there will be more teachers in South Sulawesi who try to implement STEM in science learning.
