So far, it has been indicated that teachers, especially at the SMP/MTs level, have problems in developing a scientific approach based learning program, especially in implementing it. The implementation of Science and Technology for Society (IbM) has been held to improve the understanding and skills of junior high school science teachers at South Lampung in developing teaching material based on scientific approach with the Argument-Driven Inquiry learning model. Lecturers as resource persons and education experts in the development of teacher professionalism coordinate the implementation of the program and its implementation.
