Kampus Mengajar 3: Seminar Literasi, Numerasi, dan Kurikulum Merdeka bagi Guru Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

Literacy and numeracy are the main components in the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) as a substitute for the National Examination in Indonesia. In AKM, student capacity is measured in relation to the ability to reason using language (literacy), in addition to the ability to reason in mathematics (numeracy), and strengthening character education. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced students to study from home. Teachers' unpreparedness in teaching and the lack of supporting facilities result in disrupted learning activities. The fatal impact ultimately occurs: students experience a decrease in their learning abilities (learning loss). Several partner school problems can be concluded. First, the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) has never been held at partner schools. Second, there is a misperception regarding the importance of literacy and numeracy. Third, teachers at partner schools have minimal knowledge regarding literacy and numeracy for students in elementary schools. Fourth, teachers at partner schools have minimal knowledge regarding the independent curriculum. Based on the problems mentioned above, the service team plans to provide a solution, namely by holding seminars on literacy, numeracy and an independent curriculum for teachers. The brainstorming method was used to gather opinions, information and experiences of seminar participants regarding literacy, numeracy and the independent curriculum. Seminar material on literacy, numeracy and the independent curriculum was delivered to participants using a lecture method, followed by a discussion method. This PKM activity uses three approaches, namely the brainstorming method, lecture method and discussion method.
