Teacher training reforms in Indonesian secondary science: The importance of practical work in physics

Abstract: Science teaching in Indonesia has undergone major reforms since independence. We examine the role of practical activities in secondary science from an international perspective and contrast this to a developing country perspective, identifying a number of constraints limiting the implementation of practical work. In examining major curriculum and teacher training reforms in Indonesia, continuing influences on science education from industrialized countries are acknowledged; however, unlike many other developin… Show more

“…Overall, averages point to around Teachers in developing countries 20 percent uncertified primary level teachers in the South American countries (Avalos, 2000), chiefly in rural areas (McEwan, 1999;Psacharopopoulos et al, 1996). Owing to inadequate background knowledge in subject areas, many Indonesian teachers were having difficulties in effectively implementing laboratory activities into their teaching programs (Thair and Treagust, 1999). Similarly, Pakistani teachers could not reach even the minimum competency level of 40 percent in any of the three areas -mathematics, science and pedagogical skills, probably due to poor reading habits (Saeed and Mahmood, 2002).…”

“…Untuk yang pertama lebih dikenal sebagai kurikulum sains dimana siswa mempelajarinya dari buku teks dan pengajaran secara klasikal di kelas. Studi yang dilakukan oleh Thair dan Treagust (1997;1999) menunjukkan kecenderungan kurikulum sains negara berkembang seperti Indonesia, karena ketiadaan pakar disain dan implementasi kurikulum maka yang terjadi adalah adopsi kurikulum sains dari negara maju tanpa banyak upaya untuk adaptasi dengan kondisi lokal. Kemunculan KTSP (kurikulum tingkat satuan pendidikan) di tahun 2006 bisa dilihat sebagai dibukanya peluang kontekstualisasi terhadap isi kurikulum di tingkat sekolah.…”

“…Kajian yang dilakukan Thair dan Treagust (1997;1999) menunjukkan bahwa walaupun praktikum laboratorium di negara maju tetap sesuatu yang populer, walaupun tidak terdapat konsensus yang sama mengenainya. Untuk menjadikan kegiatan praktikum laboratorium sains lebih bermakna, van den Berg & Giddings (1992) menyarankan bahwa diperlukan perbedaan perlakuan dan pentahapan, yaitu melalui: pengembangan keterampilan dan teknik; mendapatkan pengalaman dan mengalami fenomena; dan terakhir latihan menggunakan keterampilan memecahkan masalah sains.…”
