Abstract

The stagnation of global scientific literacy scores, as highlighted by PISA results, necessitates a paradigm shift toward culturally responsive pedagogies that foster holistic competencies. This study investigates the global trends of Ethno-STEM integration in facilitating Scientific Reasoning and 6C Skills (Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking) through the lens of deep learning. Employing a mixed-method approach combining Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with PRISMA protocol and bibliometric analysis, we analyzed 2889 documents from the Scopus database spanning 2015 to 2026. The findings reveal an exponential growth in publications, predominantly driven by Indonesia and the United States, indicating a shift from a "western-centric" to a localized science education approach. VOSviewer visualization unveils a critical thematic evolution: research focus has transitioned from mere documentation of indigenous knowledge (e.g., ethnobotany) to complex pedagogical interventions aiming at cognitive development and digital integration. Theoretically, Ethno-STEM serves as an "epistemological bridge," reducing cognitive dissonance between students' native science and school science. Practically, the study recommends transforming curricula by embedding local wisdom as a core context for Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to nurture high-order thinking. Future research directions highlight the need for integrating immersive technologies (AI/AR/VR) and conducting empirical studies to measure the direct impact of Ethno-STEM on scientific reasoning.

Abstract

Fire disasters constitute one of the most serious threats that can occur within school environments, including at the Early Childhood Education (ECE) level. However, fire disaster mitigation programs specifically designed for young children remain considerably limited, particularly those integrating innovative learning approaches. This gap underscores the necessity for educational interventions aligned with the cognitive and psychomotor developmental stages of early childhood. In response, this community service program aimed to cultivate safety awareness and fundamental fire disaster mitigation skills among ECE students through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-based training. The implementation method employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach combined with interactive training and mentoring, encompassing the dissemination of fire safety materials, evacuation drills, and hands-on activities involving the construction of simple teaching aids representing firefighting equipment used to extinguish fires. This program was conducted at TKIT AR RAUDLOH, Kuningan Regency, involving 30 students from Groups A and B along with 4 accompanying teachers. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in students' understanding of fire hazards, their ability to perform basic evacuation procedures, and high levels of enthusiasm in STEM-based activities. In conclusion, STEM-based fire disaster mitigation training serves as an effective educational solution for fostering safety awareness from an early age and can be sustainably implemented within ECE settings.
