Abstract

The 4Cs are the main skills emphasized to face challenges in the 21st century. One of the skills of the 4Cs is creative thinking skills. Creative thinking skills are important for students to have to solve problems with creative solutions. In addition to students, teachers as educators are also required to have these skills so that learning becomes more innovative, solution, and meaningful. The purpose of this service is to improve the creative thinking skills of science teachers in designing lessons with the PjBL-STEAM model in science learning and increase the knowledge of science teachers in utilizing Canva digital software that can be used in STEAM-based learning in science learning. The methods used in this service activity are material presentation, practice of designing posters and assembling STEAM products related to energy materials, as well as discussion and question and answer sessions. The results of the study show that PjBL-STEAM learning training assisted by Canva can improve the creative thinking skills of science teachers at Semarang City Junior High School. Participants also gave a positive response to the feasibility of the material and the presentation of the training. This means that the implementation of training to improve creative thinking skills with PjBL-STEAM, assisted by Canva Telang, was carried out very well.

Abstract

Biotechnology is one of the concepts taught in science learning which is complex and dynamic and has a relationship between the application of science and technology. The application of biotechnology is very beneficial in various aspects of life. The importance of applying biotechnology in life encourages schools to provide learning platforms for students to learn about biotechnology processing properly. However there are still issues with biotechnology processing at partner schools. Specifically, they still don't know how to properly create basic biotechnology learning supplements or process biotechnology products. This inspired the UNNES Postgraduate School service team to assist with training in the creation of basic biotechnology goods at the Al-Hidayah Waqaf Foundation in Hatyai, Thailand, as an addition to instructional resources. This training aims to provide training in making simple biotechnology products so that they can improve educators' skills in packaging supplements for simple biotechnology teaching materials as well as identifying the benefits of apple and pineapple vinegar as well as training skills in making apple and pineapple vinegar correctly. The training method was implemented by providing tools and materials, presenting the material, and providing assistance in the practice of making apple and pineapple vinegar biotechnology. The training has been carried out well. The results of the training can help teachers prepare science learning that is contextual and has an entrepreneurial spirit.
