On the other hand, the teacher is an important factor in implementing learning that refers to the development of student competencies. The adjustment of the learning content must be in line with the adjustment/increase of the competence of the teacher as the perpetrator of the implementation of the learning itself. The current learning demands should focus on students as the main learning subjects in the classroom. Training on Preparation of Student Worksheets Based on Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and character was given to 32 elementary school teachers in Batang Kapas District, Pesisir Selatan Regency. The implementation of this training is divided into two segments: (1) delivery of material with an accumulation of 16 hours of lessons and (2) guided assignments with an accumulation of 16 hours of lessons.
