Abstract
This study aims to analyze the application of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) with an ethnoscience approach to chemistry learning in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).It is qualitative research using a questionnaire technique to assist in obtaining relevant information.The total sample comprised 113 chemistry teachers whose educational background, gender, age, school type, school location, employment status, teaching experience, and academic qualifications in the field of science.The total teaching load per week and participation in teacher certification were taken into account.The results show that most of the chemistry teachers in NTB had not applied STEM with an ethnoscience approach to the chemistry learning process, and cultural aspects had not been used in the implementation of classroom and laboratory work learning.The results of the study show that most chemistry teachers in NTB have not implemented STEM with an ethnoscience approach in the chemistry learning process and laboratory work.All chemistry teachers in NTB hope that models and modules will be developed to assist them in implementing STEM with such an approach.
