Penguatan Pemahaman Guru tentang STEM-Project Based Learning melalui Pelatihan Berbasis Praktik Baik

Abstract

Abstract:  This community service program aimed to strengthen teachers’ understanding of STEM–Project Based Learning through a best-practice-based training approach. The program was conducted using a descriptive method in the form of a workshop involving 12 teachers at SMA Surya Buana Malang. The training included fundamental concepts, exploration of project-based learning characteristics, and sharing of best practices by experienced practitioners. Data were collected through pre- and post-training questionnaires as well as reflection surveys and analyzed descriptively using mean scores and percentages. The results indicated an improvement in teachers’ understanding, particularly in implementation aspects such as learning stages and project-based assessment. The most significant improvement was found in teachers’ readiness to implement the approach, with 83.33% of participants expressing readiness to apply STEM–Project Based Learning in their classrooms. In addition, participants perceived the training as relevant and meaningful. These findings suggest that best-practice-based training is effective in enhancing teachers’ understanding while fostering initial readiness to implement integrated learning approaches.
