Abstract

The implementation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning in many remote schools, including SMP Negeri Depapre, Jayapura Regency, is sub-optimal and lacks relevance to the students' local cultural context. This results in low motivation and difficulties for students in understanding abstract concepts. This community service program aimed to develop and implement an Ethnomathematics-based STEM learning model that links science and mathematical concepts with local Papuan cultural practices, such as geometric patterns in carvings, counting systems, or physics principles in fishing tools. The methods included module development, teacher training (workshop), and learning implementation using a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach involving 18 seventh-grade students and 7 assisting teachers. Activities involved measuring cultural objects (like Tumoko Batu) and creating cultural products (like the Papuan Flute and Sentani Drum). The results showed a significant change, with students becoming more enthusiastic and active in discussions. Quantitatively, there was an average increase in conceptual understanding of 42.25% following the program implementation. This increase is supported by qualitative data showing improved student activity (reaching 80% in the presentation session) and the strengthening of cultural identity. The program successfully established an innovative, relevant, and contextual learning model, and enhanced teacher competence in integrating local wisdom.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Sentani Customary Council (DAS) in influencing the public policy agenda in Jayapura Regency through the perspective of policy communication. Indigenous peoples have a strategic position as guardians of traditional values as well as political actors guaranteed by the constitution, the Papua Special Autonomy Law, and Permendagri No. 52 of 2014.Based on Dunn's (2017) public policy theory, the policy process is interactive, involving communication, interests, and power. This research is also based on agenda setting theory (McCombs & Shaw, 1972; Cobb & Elder, 1971) as well as the Multiple Streams model (Kingdon, 2003), which describes how public issues enter the government's agenda through communication and political support.This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation studies, which are then analyzed using the analysis model of Miles and Huberman (2014). The results show that watersheds play an important role in framing the issue of land encroachment as a symbol of customary rights through horizontal communication in the community, vertically with the government, and through mass media and social media. This strategy makes cultural issues the government's attention, showing the dynamics of policy networks (Rhodes, 1997) between customary institutions, bureaucracies, NGOs, and civil society. The research concludes that culture-based communication is effective in transforming local issues into politically recognized public policies. Going forward, there is a need for formal recognition of the role of Indigenous Councils, communication capacity building, and collaboration with the media and academics to strengthen local values-based policy governance and indigenous peoples' participation.
