Unesa.ac.id., SURABAYA--Science Education Undergraduate Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) Surabaya State University (UNESA) held the 15th National Science Education Seminar online on Saturday, September 23 2023.
With the theme "Implementation of the Independent Curriculum in Science Learning for Natural Resources Conservation and Local Wisdom", this seminar presented a number of experts; Prof. Dr. Sudarmin, M.Sc., from Semarang State University; Prof. Dr. Aceng Ruyani, MS. from Bengkulu University; and Dr. Siti Nurul Hidayati, S.Pd., M.Pd. from UNESA.
This seminar is a curriculum implementation that aims to facilitate literacy culture and writing skills for all participants. Also, facilitating Classroom Action Research (PTK). It is hoped that the research results of lecturers and students will be able to take part in seminars which will then be converted into seminar courses.
There are a number of topics discussed in this seminar, including ethnoscience and edupreneurship, nature conservation and local wisdom, as well as microlearning in learning Science of the digital era.

Prof. Sudarmin explained the importance of an independent curriculum and its implementation in learning activities. Apart from that, he also discussed the Pancasila student profile.
According to him, there are several ways to implement the Pancasila student profile in schools, including those that can be applied in school culture, intracurricular, extracurricular and project-based learning.
On this occasion, the ethnoscience expert also explained topics regarding local wisdom and nature conservation. Local wisdom projects are particularly relevant for science learning, because they contain elements of science in them, namely living things and the environment.
“The challenge now is with the younger generation who do not understand the meaning of local wisdom. "It is important that the values of local knowledge which are manifested in various forms of local culture be echoed and passed on to the next generation so that they remain sustainable," he added.
The same thing regarding nature conservation and local wisdom was also conveyed by Prof. Aceng Ruyani. According to him, the use of natural resources should be carried out in line with the empowerment of natural resources. This can be pursued through the concept of green economy or GE.
He emphasized the importance of informal-based science education which can strengthen formal science education such as in schools. Various basic science studies have proven that these two things can be done simultaneously.
Siti Nurul Hidayati also highlighted the concept of microlearning in the science learning model. He explained that the reality of learning in the digital era requires several things, especially accessibility, flexibility, interactive and collaborative.
There are many ways that can be done regarding the digital era science learning model, namely by using online learning platforms, learning videos , virtual simulations, online discussion forums and many more.
“Microlearning can lighten the burden on lecturers and teachers, short duration learning videos can make the learning process more efficient. "However, it should be noted that digital era learning must still be carried out with great care and responsibility," he said.
As chairman of the committee, Dr. Hasan Subekti, S.Pd., M.Pd., said that this seminar, which was attended by practitioners, teachers and students, could foster and spread good inspiration regarding learning in Indonesia.
"Our current competition is not only domestic students or graduates, but also workers from abroad. "By sharing good inspiration, we hope that Indonesia will be of better quality in the future," he hoped. [*]
