Pelatihan Pengembangam KIT IPA Berbasis PjBL STEM sebagai Sumber Belajar Inovatif Untuk Pendidikan Berkualitas Bagi Guru MGMP IPA Kota Mataram

Abstract

Innovative science education requires learning resources that integrate hands-on activities with contextual problem-solving. However, teachers' capacity to develop and utilize project-based science kits needs further strengthening. This community service program aimed to enhance the understanding and skills of science teachers affiliated with the Mataram City Science Teachers' Association (MGMP IPA) in utilizing science kits integrated with Project Based Learning (PjBL) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The program was conducted at SMP Negeri 6 Mataram through instructional sessions, an introduction to the ADDIE development model, science kit demonstrations, hands-on exploration, and discussions of classroom applications. Evaluation was conducted descriptively based on participants' engagement and feedback. The results indicated active teacher participation in demonstrations and discussions, providing practical experience in identifying the functions, applications, and potential integration of science kits into PjBL-STEM-based learning. This program established an initial foundation for strengthening teachers' competencies in developing innovative, contextual, and problem-solving-oriented science learning.
