EthnoSTEM-based Learning Tools: Connecting Cultural Heritage with STEM Education
Keywords:
Cultural, EthoSTEM-based learning tools, Scientific knowledgeAbstract
The integration of indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, and traditional ecological knowledge with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has gained recognition as EthnoSTEM. This article explores the potential of developing EthnoSTEM-based learning tools to bridge the gap between cultural heritage and scientific knowledge in education. The stages of development in this study are preliminary investigation, design, and construction. The technique for obtaining data using the instrument of device validation by experts. The result of this development study provides an understanding of EthnoSTEM by defining its core concepts and illustrating its value in education. The culture studied in this research is the ‘wedang uwuh’ drink and ‘Bir Plethok’ typical of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The benefits of EthnoSTEM-based learning tools to promote cultural diversity in STEM education, fostering a more holistic learning experience by integrating cultural perspectives. EthnoSTEM-based learning tools enhances student engagement and motivation, leading to improved learning outcomes. Bridging the gap between cultural and scientific knowledge, empower students to appreciate and respect diverse perspectives, while acquiring essential STEM skills for the future.
