The designing E-SETSaR approach use theme of making shrimp paste Cirebon to develop problem solving skills and communication in learning basic concepts of science for prospective teachers

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to produce a learning design of basic science concepts based on ethnoscience and SETSaR (E-SETSaR). This research is a research and development conducted to produce a learning program that is feasible and effective in improving creative thinking skills, problem solving, and communication. The design of this research consists of defining, designing, developing and disseminating. The results presented in this article are the research steps of defining and designing stages. The results showed that one of the community cultures related to the concept of science is the process of making Cirebon shrimp paste is related to the science concept such as quantity, unit and measurement, fermentation, material and its changes. In addition, the process of making shrimp paste can be studied from the aspects of the ethnoscience and SETSaR so that prospective teacher students get a comprehensive concept from one theme being studied. The learning design of the Ethno-SETSaR approach consists of problem orientation, formulating problem formulations, formulating hypotheses, collecting data that is studied from the aspects of science, environment, technology, society, and religion. designing problem-solving solutions, testing hypotheses, evaluating solutions and concluding.
