Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah melatih guru-guru di SMAN 8 Tanjung Jabung Timur agar dapat mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran kurikulum merdeka yang mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal atau aspek etnosains. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah pelatihan yang terdiri dari tiga tahapan, yakni persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Kegiatan pelatihan ini diadakan pada tanggal 7 Agustus 2023 di SMAN 8 Tanjung Jabung Timur. Hasil dari pelatihan ini adalah guru-guru SMAN 8 Tanjung Jabung Timur dapat memahami dengan baik konsep dan teknik penyusunan perangkat pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan Kurikulum Merdeka, yang mengintegrasikan elemen-elemen kearifan lokal atau aspek etnosains dalam proses pembelajaran. Kata kunci: alat peraga; perangkat pembelajaran; sensor; tracker. ABSTRACTIn the context of the Independent Curriculum, the importance of combining elements of local wisdom in the learning process is emphasized, which aims to support the achievement of student profiles in accordance with the principles of Pancasila. Therefore, teachers are expected to prepare learning materials that are in accordance with the Independent Curriculum, which integrates elements of local wisdom.
