STREAMIN Model for the Next Generation of Science Education in Indonesia

Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology globally becomes a challenge that must be faced in the present and in the future. Reorientation of science education has seen science in a collaborative perspective through the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach. Nevertheless, the "arts" aspect needs to be taken into consideration that it is important to cultivate an innovative spirit in producing the work. Furthermore, self identity as a nation that believes in God and a united country in cultural diversity need to be nurtured. The STREAMIN Model is needed to realize the next generation of science education which has innovative, religious, and nationalist character. This paper reviews the literature through identification of science education (S) regarding technology (T), religion (R), engineering (E), arts (A), mathematics (M), indigenous culture (I), and nationalism (N). In the planning, “Spider Web” analysis is needed to see the orientation of science learning. Classroom management emphasizing reading and writing activities, as well as project-based learning is needed to improve learners’ literacy. The flipped classroom is designed in accordance with the current millennial generation. The evaluation also emphasizes the availability of authentic assessment prioritizing aspects of innovation, religious attitude, and spirit of nationalism.
