Teacher's Perception of the Integration of Science Technology Society (STS) into Learning at Elementary School

Abstract

The Science Technology Society (STS) is an integrated and holistic approach between science, technology, and societal issues. This study aims to determine teachers’ perceptions of integrating science, technology, and society into learning at elementary schools. This study uses a qualitative approach. The respondents of this study were twelve elementary school teachers in the city of Surabaya. The results of this study indicate that teachers respond positively to the Science Technology Society (STS) because it provides an understanding of the relationship between science and technology and society and trains judgment sensitivity.


Keywords: Teacher’s Perception, Science Technology Society (STS), Elementary School
