Environmental Education in Forming Attitudes of Environmental Care for Students

Abstract

Current environmental problems have become a serious threat to human life. One way to reduce this threat is to change the paradigm of the younger generation through education. Environmental Education (PLH) is the right step to implement, especially in Adiwiyata schools. This study aims to analyze students environmental care attitudes by learning monolithic and integrated environmental education. This research was conducted in 4 adiwiyata high schools. The method used is a survey. The total sample was 307 students. The technique used through the questionnaire environmental attitudes of students. Data analysis was performed by t-test. The t-test results showed that there were differences in students' environmental care attitudes between monolithic learning and integration. Differences in attitudes to care for the environment are found in 3 indicators namely, attitudes towards energy, attitudes towards flora and fauna and attitudes towards the social and human environment. Analysis of environmental care attitudes category found that monolithic PLH learning was 1.24% in the excellent category, 98.76 in the good category. While PLH integration is 1.39% very good, 93.10% is good and 5.51% is low. It was concluded that students with monolithic PLH learning had environmental care attitudes that were better than students' attitudes with PLH integration learning.

Implementation of Project Based Learning Student Worksheets to Improve Students' Science Process Skills on Environmental Pollution in High Schools

“…Learning using LKPD based on Project Based Learning on environmental pollution material students are trained by directly observing the environment around them. According to Istiqomah et al (2020), states that when students do experiments, students will practice their skills and process abilities. So that scientific skills have an impact on overall achievement.…”

Menurut Istiqomah et al, (2020) beberapa dari pendidikan lingkungan hidup yaitu; 1). Bangun kesadaran, yang memberi dorongan kepada setiap individu untuk memperoleh kesadaran dan kepekaan terhadap lingkungan dan masalahnya, 2).…”

Development of Local Potential-Based Environmental Care Instrument and its Ability to Reveal Students' Caring Attitudes at Genders and Grades

“…The criteria for the ability of the instrument were reviewed based on the ability of the instrument to reveal the students' environmental care attitude, which is differentiated by gender and grade. Students' environmental care attitudes are categorized into four levels, namely not care (<31.25), weak (31.25-62.50), good (63.50-93.75), and very good (≥95) (Istiqomah et al, 2020). To find out the differences in students' environmental care attitudes at different genders and grades, a one-way ANOVA analysis was carried out (Yeager, 2021).…”

“…Furthermore, these results reveal that female students have better environmental care attitudes than male students, with a mean score of 70.21, while male students have an average score of 66.06 (Table 7). This value, when converted into a scale or category of environmental care, according to Istiqomah (2020), both are in a good category. However, quantitatively it proves that female students tend to have a better environmental care attitude than male students (Figure 2).…”
