Definition
STEM stands for interdisciplinary learning approach
between Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics. While STEM Ethno itself is culture-
based STEM or local wisdom, namely by making
more use of local culture in the process STEM
learning in the future. (Azalia, 2020)
STEM allows students to learn academic concepts properly
by applying the four disciplines (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics). While Ethno learns according
to Ardianti, et al (2019) as a good lesson involving local
advantages around which related to the subject matter. In
line with Ismaya & Santoso (2019) that surrounding cultural
studies can be included in learning.
characteristics and defined and explained by Torlakson (2014):

(1) science that represents legal knowledge and concepts that apply in
nature;
(2) technology is a skill or the system used to regulate society, organization,
knowledge or designing and using tools artificial that can facilitate the work;
(3) engineering or engineering is knowledge to operate or design procedures
for solving problems; and
(4) mathematics is a science that link between numbers, and spaces that
only takes logical arguments without or accompanied by empirical evidence.
The goals of steam
So that students have scientific literacy and technology
that can be seen from reading, writing, observing, and
doing knowledge so that when they enter society, they will
be able to grow its competence to applied in dealing with
problems in fields related to daily life STEM science

STEM EDUCATION RESEARCH
IN INDONESIAN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOLS
Since the implementation of the 2013 curriculum
in Indonesia as the national education
curriculum, STEM-based learning at the
elementary school level in Indonesia has begun
to be implemented in recent years and has
experienced a significant increase in efforts to
improve the quality of education
The results showed that 66 of the 78 students
had understood the material that had been
taught. Ethno-STEM-based science learning in
elementary schools has also been carried out in
public elementary schools in West Kalimantan,
Indonesia by applying a digital microscope
(Priyani & Nawawi, 2020).
One of the efforts of the Indonesian government
in improving the quality of education is by
initiating a policy, namely the Indonesia 4.0
policy. The Ministry of Industry has initiated the
Indonesia 4.0 policy, in which there are 10
national priorities, one of which is improving the
quality of human resources with the STEAM
education curriculum pattern (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics)
(Kementerian Perindustrian Republik Indonesia,
2018)
Conclusion
The development of STEM education research in Indonesia has
begun to be developed at various levels of education, especially the
basic education level to support the implementation of the 2013
curriculum. The learning projects that can be produced also vary,
which is shown in various potential STEM-based learning
procedures by integrating several subjects at grade level. lower and
upper elementary school. This potential can be seen in recreational,
environmental, and energy types of learning
