Teaching-Learning of Phosphor-based LEDs Using Science, Environment, Technology and Society (SETS) Approach

Abstract

In order to face the industry 4.0, Indonesia uses the so called K-13 curriculum which prioritizes in student’s character building based on local wisdom. Therefore, teachers have responsibility to continuously improve the teaching-learning method along with the rapid technological development. Up to recently, there are many teaching-learning approaches has been introduced such as science, environment, technology, and society (SETS). One teaching-learning approach emphasizes in the connection between the real event in our everyday life with science, environment, technology, and social life. Phosphor-based (Light Emitting Diode) LED is one of the current increasing attention topics in the lighting technologies, which plays a very important role as general lighting source. Therefore, it is important to introduce this technology from the earliest stage of education. This paper will describe the teaching-learning method of the current technology, phosphor-based LED, using SETS approach in K-13 curriculum.
