pemateri

Pemateri is a term in Indonesian that refers to a person who presents material or content at a meeting, seminar, workshop, or training session. The pemateri is responsible for delivering prepared material, explaining concepts, and guiding participants through the subject matter using lectures, demonstrations, or multimedia aids.

In practice, a pemateri may be a subject matter expert, practitioner, lecturer, or trainer who has substantial knowledge of the topic. The selection typically depends on expertise, communication ability, and relevance to the audience. Preparation often includes organizing a lesson plan, developing slide decks or handouts, and aligning content with defined learning objectives or program goals.

In event contexts, pemateri can be involved in various formats, from keynote presentations to breakout sessions. While they present material, they may also respond to questions and provide clarification, though they are generally distinct from facilitators who manage discussion or activities. The term is commonly used in Indonesia and other Indonesian-speaking environments, and it overlaps with equivalents such as speaker or lecturer in other languages.

Differences with narasumber: a narasumber, or resource person, provides knowledge, expertise, or experiences; a pemateri delivers structured material to an audience, often following a prepared curriculum. The role of pemateri is central to knowledge transfer, professional development programs, and educational events, contributing to participants’ understanding and learning outcomes.
