FKIP UNS – Master Degree of Science Education Study Program Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta held a national webinar. This webinar which took place on Monday (30/5/2022) carried the theme of Ethnoscience in the Perspective of Natural Science Learning. This agenda is one of the routine agendas carried out by the Master of Science Education Study Program to establish cooperation with alumni.

This activity presents speakers in the field of ethnoscience. He is Dr. Indah S. Budiarti who is also the Chair of the S-1 Physics Education Study Program, FKIP University of Cenderawasih. This webinar was also attended by the Head of the UNS Science Education Study Program, Dr. Sarwanto. In his speech, he said that ethnoscience-based science learning needed to be implemented in the classroom.

“This is because learning using ethnoscience provides an opportunity for teachers to present integrated science learning. Besides that, it can also play a role in carrying out the mandate of the 2013 curriculum, namely science learning should be carried out in an integrated manner,” he said when giving his speech.

After the speech, the activity was continued with a material presentation by Dr. Indah moderated by Dr. Bramastia, lecturer in Science Education at UNS. In his presentation, Dr. Indah said that there were many potentials of local culture that could be brought up in science learning.

“When implementing ethnoscience in learning, we need to pay attention to local wisdom around students. Learning using an ethnoscience approach can make learning more meaningful because it is in students’ lives so that it will give birth to a wise attitude to the environment, “explained Dr. Indah.

He also gave examples of ethnoscience in the Papua region, such as the molo tradition, menokok sago, stone-burning parties, hunting with a bow, the traditional house of the Tobati-Enjros Jayapura tribe, and sailing time for the Asmat tribe.

“The application of ethnoscience must pay attention to student characteristics, learning objectives, sequence of learning content, learning tools, learning strategies, learning resources, and task analysis for students,” he concluded.
