Environmental Education for Prevent Disaster: A Survey of Students Knowledge in Beginning New Normal of COVID-19

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of implementing disaster mitigation education in schools during the new normal era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The method in this research used descriptive research design using a survey study approach. The research instrument used was a knowledge test with the number of questions as many as 15 items. The sample used was senior high school students who were randomly selected. The level of good and lack of knowledge is determined based on the average total score. A good level of knowledge has a condition> 111.76, while a level of knowledge that lacks a condition <111.76. The results of this study are that the majority of respondents have a total score that is less with a mean score of 101.94, while respondents who have a good number of scores have an average score of 127. Overall respondents have an average of 111.76. Then conducted an Independent Sample t-test with the result that there are differences in the number of good disaster mitigation knowledge scores on respondents with the number of disaster mitigation knowledge scores that are less on respondents with a p-value of 0,000 with a degree of freedom is 95%. The implementation of disaster education in the new normal era is important to continue to prevent transmission of COVID-19. The conclusion of this study is the score of students' knowledge about disaster needs to be improved in the new normal era.

Students Perceptions in Online Class Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic

“…Virus-19 which can be transmitted through the air limits human interaction and communication directly or face to face. Even though this situation does not mean human activities must stop, one of which is education (Ilyasa et al, 2020;Ichsan et al, 2020). According to the circular issued by the Minister of Education and Culture Number 3 of 2020 concerning the Prevention of Covid-19 in the Education Unit and Number 36962 / MPK.A / HK / 2020 concerning online learning.…”

Review of Online Discussion Board to Improve Academic Achievement in Pandemic Time Learning

“…Whatever the reasons, this infrastructure is indeed the main prerequisite for adequate and widespread distance learning for all Indonesian citizens in the pandemic era and other world citizens. For example, research by Hornik and Cagle, (2005) states that technology-assisted teaching requires infrastructure support so that online discussions can take place. Technology is no longer a foreign trend in education but has become a standard item in daily life, even in underdeveloped countries.…”

Revisiting the Relevance of School Closure Policy as Efforts to Prevent COVID-19 Infection Among Students in Indonesia

“…The closure of schools was carried out quickly in all provinces at the beginning of the lockdown period and then followed by schools' closure in big cities marked by a regional zone system such as the red and green zone, which was not the right choice. There is no actual data on a significant relationship between school closure and control of case-by-case transmission in the school environment (Ilyasa et al, 2020). Data on the outbreak in China as the first region of this outbreak confirms that school closures do not correlate with infection control, especially school environments with a population of teenagers.…”

“…The above study is needed to review the policy by analyzing and comparing thousands of other studies in other countries that have globally experienced the same disruption as the national response. However, of course, different countries have practiced different strategies and solutions (Fauzi, & Khusuma, 2020;Ichsan, 2020). Efforts to review this policy, the researchers believe, would help the government and the school community implement policies during the evaluation of the effectiveness of this policy.…”
