Teacher expectation towards interactive multimedia integrated with STEM in learning physics: Preliminary study on geometry optic learning material

Abstract

Recently, the challenge of industrial revolution 4.0 has become a discourse in education. Education is a way for a country to face the development of modern science and technology. So, in this time, education requires systematic preparation in making interactive teaching materials as one of the important components in the learning process. This study aims to describe and analyze the perceptions of teachers and students about interactive teaching materials integrated STEM in physics learning. The study was conducted in high school in Bandar Lampung in class XI involving 133 students and 12 physics teachers. The method used is mixed method. The research instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The results of the study show that the teacher has not fully used teaching materials with interactive multimedia, and the teaching materials used have not been integrated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), the kind of teaching material that is needed by students and teachers is teaching material that is interactive and integrated with STEM. STEM make it possible to students to explore their ability in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. So, it is necessary to develop interactive teaching material integrated with STEM to face the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and fulfill competency standards in the 21st Century. The lesson needed for developing interactive teaching materials is geometry optic.
