Profile of Students’ Environmental Literacy: A Hypotetic Model to Perform Effective Environmental Education

Abstract

Environmental literacy is a measurement of the people’s knowledge about environment and its interaction with human life. One of the efforts to achieve environmental literacy is implementing environmental education. The research is focused on efforts to know 1) environmental literacy profile of students in green open space; 2) Hypothetical models for effective environmental learning based on student profile findings. This research is a type of descriptive research. The research subject is students of Junior High School (SMPN) 2 Suayan in the 2020/2021 school year. Total sample is 70 students. Test is used to measure students’ environmental literacy for the domain of knowledge. Non-tests is used to measure attitude and behavior domains. The number of questions/statements is 45 items with 15 questions/ statements for each domain. The average score for environmental literacy for these 3 domains is 77,1 % and is interpreted high. Based on literature and interview, high environmental literacy scores of students are at least influenced by two factors, namely 1) the implementation of environmental education in schools 2) students who are always exposed to green open spaces. Furthermore, based on this result, it is proposed a hypothetical model for the effective implementation of environmental.

Bibliometric Analysis of Environmental Literacy in Sustainable Development: A Comprehensive Review Based on Scopus Data From 2013 to 2023

“…Environmental literacy helps individuals understand how human activities are interconnected with the environment, promoting sustainable development (Figueiredo et al, 2023;Kuruppuarachchi et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2020). This knowledge equips people with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to make choices and take responsible actions to address urgent environmental challenges (Alkaher & Goldman, 2018;Putra, 2022;Sasa et al, 2022). As the global recognition of development as a path to a resilient and equitable future grows stronger, so does the urgency of enhancing environmental literacy.…”

Science interdisciplinary learning approach: a study interdisciplinary thinking skills and literacy environment

“…Student responses from Google Form were analyzed using SmartPLs 3 f. The average variance extracted (AVE) value of the knowledge and behavior variables above 0.5 is in the valid category [30]. The competency variable value is 0.353 but can be accepted as a valid variable [31]. The environmental literacy questionnaire instrument has internal reliability consistency from the composite value of reliability and Cronbach's alpha [32].…”

Implementation of Home-based Experiment on Photosynthesis Material to Improve Students’ Science Process Skill

“…In other words, distance learning is considered less effectively implemented due to a lack of innovation and a lack of teachers' literacy with technology. The application of creative and innovative models and methods is important in the learning process (Putra, 2022). Therefore, one of the online learning methods that can be applied to increase students' activity and understanding in science learning is the home-based experiment.…”
