SEAMEO Regional Centre for QITEP in Science (SEAQIS) recently hosted a STEM Integration Training in Proyek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) for junior and senior high schools’ science teachers. The event took place from 24 to 26 July 2024 at Mercure Bandung Nexa Hotel and was led by experienced SEAQIS facilitators, Dr Poppy Kamalia Devi and Mr Dian Purnama. The training was attended by 20 participants from various regions across Indonesia.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Integration in P5 training was focused on a deep understanding of STEM and its educational characteristics, climate change education policies within Kurikulum Merdeka, and the analysis of scientific concepts supporting P5 content. Participants were guided to review and develop integrated STEM P5 modules to create critical, creative, and innovative student learning experiences. The anticipated outcome of the training is the P5 drafts that will be implemented at each participant’s school, along with a follow-up plan to ensure the programme’s sustainability.
The primary benefit of this training is to enhance participants’ abilities in creating and applying the integrated STEM P5 modules, improving the quality of education at their schools. With the skills acquired, it is hoped that teachers will be able to help students in developing the 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration by preparing them to tackle both global and local challenges with Pancasila’s values.
