Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the scientific concept in the batik manufacturing processes as learning resources for developing science teaching learning grounded in STEM-approaches and ethnoscience. The research method was one of qualitative ethnographic studies. Data were collected by observation, interviews, and documentation studies at Pekalongan Municipality and Regency. The results showed that in the process of batik-manufacturing by indigenous people in Pekalongan, the concept of science was successfully identified and related to science teaching learning for junior high schools. Furthermore, these scientific concepts were integrated into science learning using the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) approach. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
