Pengabdian Masyarakat Berbasis Participatory Action Research (PAR): Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Pembelajaran STEM bagi Guru SMA di Kabupaten Kerinci
Abstract
Science teachers' misconceptions about the implementation of interdisciplinary curriculum, which is often reduced to physical crafts, as well as the dominance of conventional teaching materials, are major problems in Public High Schools in Kerinci Regency. This community service program aims to eliminate theoretical misconceptions and improve the practical capacity of educators in developing STEM for HOTS-based Student Worksheets integrated with local potential. The approach applied is Participatory Action Research (PAR) through four circular stages: Diagnose, Act, Measure, and Reflect. Activities are facilitated collaboratively through structured hybrid mentoring. The results of the community service program confirm the effectiveness of pedagogical interventions with an N-Gain score of 0.71 (High category) for increasing teachers' conceptual understanding. Furthermore, the average instructional performance of educators in executing the Engineering Design Process (EDP) stages in the classroom actually reached 85.40% or exceeded the minimum success indicator. In practice, this program culminates in the standardization of three volumes of STEM LKPD collections with ISBNs that innovatively highlight local potential engineering, such as the utilization of Cassiavera waste and water filtration of Lake Kerinci. This transformation of educator competencies has proven effective in shifting the instructional paradigm to be more divergent in order to stimulate students' critical reasoning.
