Pelatihan Meningkatkan Kompetensi Guru MGMP TIK Surabaya: Menguasai Arduino untuk Pendidikan Kreatif

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a field that teaches technology skills and how to use information systems in many areas of life. In schools, ICT is taught so that students can recognize and have the ability to use technology in a good, efficient and ethical way. MGMP TIK Surabaya is a community of teachers who teach subjects related to Information and Communication Technology in Surabaya. MGMP, which means Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran, aims to improve the professional and teaching abilities of ICT teachers, strengthen cooperation among teachers, and develop teaching methods and materials that are in line with technological advances. The goal of this Community Service program is to provide technical skills training as well as improve critical and creative thinking abilities in students. Through project-based methods, Arduino offers a practical and immersive learning experience, which prepares students to face the challenges of an increasingly modern and technological world. The problems faced in Arduino education can be solved with appropriate training and collaborative and interactive teaching methods. The implementation of community service activities has been completed in accordance with the specified time. This community service activity is carried out through the delivery of materials, discussions, and practices carried out in a hybrid manner. The success of this activity can be seen from how easy it is for MGMP ICT teachers to use the application and Arduino module package, and all teachers hope that there will be another community service program. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the teachers mostly gave “strongly agree” and “agree” answers to all the questions asked.
