WORKSHOP INTERNASIONAL STEM EDUCATION: INTEGRASI SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, SOCIETY, AND ENVIRONMENT UNTUK MENINGKATKAN TPACK GURU

Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has recently become the most trending issue in the world of education. STEM education is considered to be able to overcome real problems that occur in society. Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into the learning and teaching process is inevitable in this modern world, so all teachers need to master Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) with confidence. Unfortunately, the approach to teacher education programs in many countries, particularly in Indonesia, has not yet integrated TPACK into the curriculum. To improve the quality of in-service teacher teaching competencies, the TPACK framework can be used as a reference and adoption in learning. Therefore, an international workshop on STEM education was held: integrating science, technology, society, and the environment for the development of TPACK activities for in-service teachers. The result of this workshop is an increase in inservice physics teacher TPACK (as a participant) in integrating science, technology, society, and the environment. STEM education can be done by conducting a kind of workshop that explains clearly and provides experience for all participants. In addition, it can be seen that the supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of the inservice physics teacher workshop in integrating science, technology, society, and the environment in STEM education with respect are knowledge and technology and the inhibiting factor is that in-service teachers do not have enough time to carry it out, especially during the pandemic covid-19.
