Abstract

This study aims to identify the relevance of the traditional knowledge of Pijot Village, East Lombok, with scientific concepts in the salt-making process and explore how this practice can be integrated into science education through an ethnoscience approach. The research employed a qualitative method using observation and interviews to gather in-depth data on the stages and local knowledge applied in salt production. The findings reveal that the salt-making process, including evaporation and crystallization, aligns with scientific concepts of phase changes. The use of solar energy in evaporation also reflects renewable energy concepts taught in science education. Integrating ethnoscience into science lessons helps students understand scientific concepts contextually and meaningfully, enhancing both science literacy and creative thinking skills. However, the implementation of ethnoscience faces challenges, such as limited learning media and teachers' understanding of the approach. Therefore, teacher training and the development of ethnoscience-based student worksheets (LKPD) are essential to facilitate learning. The study’s findings are expected to promote curriculum development that links scientific concepts with local culture, enabling students to better apply their knowledge in real-life contexts.

Abstract

Science education should emphasize providing students with direct, hands-on experiences to develop the competencies needed to explore and understand the natural world. Ultimately, this approach aims to help them discover subject matter concepts independently. One recommended instructional model for achieving competencies in attitudes, knowledge, skills, and critical thinking in science is the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. In this training program, Project-Based Learning was implemented through the creation of a simple practical tool: a periscope. The activity employed a community engagement method consisting of three steps: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. After the training session concluded, all participants were asked to complete a training evaluation questionnaire. This questionnaire aimed to assess the students' satisfaction level with the training. The questionnaire's evaluation indicators comprised two aspects, covering 14 questions. The results showed an average satisfaction rate of 83.74%. Therefore, it can be concluded that students strongly agree with the use of the learning media in the instructional process.
