Abstract

This study aims to explore teachers' perceptions of the implementation of humanistic-based Natural Science (IPA) learning with the assistance of interactive technology at the Junior High School (SMP) level. The background of this study is based on the still dominant focus of Science learning on cognitive aspects and less attention to affective aspects and student character development. The humanistic approach is seen as a solution to create more meaningful learning by placing students as the center of learning, while interactive technology plays a role in increasing the attractiveness and effectiveness of learning. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. The subjects of the study were junior high school science teachers selected by purposive sampling. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used interactive analysis techniques that include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers' perceptions of the humanistic approach and the use of interactive technology are in the fairly good category. Teachers have understood the basic concepts of the humanistic approach and have begun to integrate it into Science learning. The use of interactive technology has been proven to increase student engagement and motivation. However, there are still obstacles in implementation, such as limited facilities, lack of training, and uneven teacher readiness. Therefore, support from various parties is needed to optimize the implementation of humanistic-based science learning assisted by interactive technology.
