<p class="Abstrakabstract">Education for sustainability development (ESD) is a way to realize that every individual lives interdependently with each other and their environment. Research has been conducted with survey methods to reveal the level of students’ disposition/attitude to sustainable living, being a basis for the development of appropriate learning. The research sample was 95 students at SMPN Garut. The data in this study is primary data, which is obtained directly from the research subject. The research was conducted by delivering questionnaires to students consisting of 51 closed question items. The results of the study obtained the average of student disposition score from several ESD themes, namely the environment, waste, water, energy, natural disasters, and health respectively is 2.99, 3.15, 3.24, 3.11, 3.08 and 3.33. The average of these all themes is 3.15. Based on this study, the results were obtained that students' sustainability disposition/attitude are at a high level. The positive response given by students shows the attitude of students who support the efforts to realize sustainable development. In this case, there is no guarantee if someone who have good sustainability disposition will have good sustainability practice. Sustainable disposition/attitude must be supported by sustainable behaviors and practices so that sustainable living goals can be achieved. The last, Indonesia government can make the policy and guidelines related to how to do effective sustainability education in Indonesia to support sustainability awareness of students and society.</p>
This study aimed to describe the improvement of students' science process skills (SPS) after the implementation of home-based experiment activities on photosynthesis material. This research was carried out at one of the State Junior High Schools in Garut. The sample was 26 students for the experimental classes and 25 students for the control class. The research design was Pre-Posttest Control Group Design. The sample selection technique used the convenience sampling technique. The success of the learning method/model implemented was assessed through value analysis before (pretest) and after (posttest) given treatment in the experimental and control groups. The N-Gain value of the experimental group was 0.678, while the N-Gain value of the control group was 0.52. This indicated that the N-gain value of the experimental group was higher than the control group. But, the statistical analysis using post-test scores showed that there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the students’ SPS. So, the implementation of home-based experiments and ordinary practicum in the learning process has the same effect on students’ SPS results. Therefore, home-based experiments should be an option for teachers in science learning because, even though the learning process is online, the practicum is the identity, and support of science learning should not be eliminated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
