ETHNO-STEM INTEGRATED INQUIRY LEARNING ON FRACTURE TREATMENT STUDY MATERIALS WITH SANGKAL PUTUNG THERAPY IN TRAINING ANALYSTS THINKING SKILLS

Abstract

Bones are one of the most important parts of the human body. Musculoskeletal soft tissue trauma that results in breaking of the bone structure will cause fractures due to the impact of hard objects. Treatment of fracture grafting can be done by means of modern medicine (surgical surgery) and traditional medicine (non-surgical surgery). One form of traditional medicine in the treatment of fractures is sangangkal putung. Some people in Indonesia still choose to treat fractures to the sangkal putung. The purpose of this research is to understand the application of Ethno-STEM integrated inquiry learning to study materials for fracture treatment using sangkal putung to train students' critical thinking.

This type of research is a qualitative research. Data collection was carried out by observation, interview and documentation methods. The results of data retrieval then carried out data analysis using data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.

The results showed that in inquiry learning that was integrated with EthnoSTEM in the traditional medicine of Sangkal Putung, students could practice critical thinking skills in understanding and analyzing information related to the behavior of Sangkal Putung therapists in fracture treatment skills and the reasons patients/community prefer from treating broken bones to traditional Sangkal Putung medicine and students getting real and active learning experiences.
