Collaboration for innovative education: implementation of tgfu-stem for teachers of sdn hambuku 5 and kkg pjok

Abstract

This community service aims to improve the quality of learning at SDN Hambuku Lima through the integration of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into the elementary school curriculum. This program focuses on increasing the capacity of teachers in implementing innovative learning methods to overcome limited access to quality educational resources, especially in rural areas. Through this approach, the program aims to: 1) Improve teacher competency in designing and implementing TGfU and STEM-based learning, so that teaching methods become more interesting, interactive, and effective in building student skills, 2) Facilitate the procurement of learning facilities that support the implementation of innovative methods, such as sports equipment suitable for TGfU and STEM-based learning resources, 3) Improve student learning outcomes, especially in the aspects of literacy, numeracy, critical thinking skills, and problem solving, as measured by increased academic grades and involvement in STEM and TGfU-based activities, 4) Optimize community involvement, including parents and local stakeholders, in supporting the sustainability of innovative education programs in the school environment. With a systematic intervention strategy, this program is expected to create a sustainable learning model, relevant to local needs, and replicable in other schools in similar areas. Through the synergy between teachers, students, and the community, SDN Hambuku Lima is expected to become a successful example in overcoming educational challenges in rural areas and producing a generation better prepared to face global challenges.
