Environmental Sustainability Awareness (ESA) should be built since early because it is a very important component to support Sustainable Development (SD). Educators have been made various attempts to improve student's ESA such as using different learning models, methods, and media or teaching materials in the learning process. However, some studies reveals that students had a good awareness of environmental problems but had not changed in practice. Learning independent of time and space concept has gained importance. Mobile learning (m-learning) can be used as an alternative learning resources to advance ESA. This literature study aims to give overview how to advance ESA through science m-learning. There are 5 content in m-learning science that will help students to advance their awareness on environmental sustainability: scientific content (i.e global warming, climate change, air polution, water polution, biodiversity), instant notification, social network support, and gamification. The authors suggest that it is essential to design science m-learning and the material can be taught both inside and outside the classroom.
Pre-service science teachers' understanding of soft skills is very important. Soft skills are skills closely related to intrapersonal abilities that determines the success of individuals in conducting their profession as teachers. This study aims to find out the initial profile of pre-service science teachers' understanding about soft skills. Design of the study is descriptive quantitative research with a survey method. The questionnaire is used as the instrument to find out the initial profile of pre-service teachers' understanding of soft skills, as well as urgency, and constraints. By the purposive sampling, 30 undergraduate students as pre-service science teachers from Tidar Magelang University were investigated. The result showed that pre-service science teachers understand soft skills literally, 78.1% students chose very important that a science teacher should qualified of soft skills. This study generates to produce insight into the importance of acquiring soft skills because it will contribute to improve the quality of teachers' teaching.
This study examines the initial profile of students' understanding of environmental literacy. Descriptive research with a survey method of junior high school students in Central Java which focuses on the initial profile of environmental literacy understanding which includes aspects of understanding environmental literacy, the urgency of environmental literacy in learning and for students, constraint and obstacles and expectations for the future. with a total research sample of 156 students. The results showed that 71.9% of students considered environmental literacy to be very necessary, which means that the understanding of the importance of environmental literacy is very high but its implementation is still lacking because based on the data there are still some students who have not received environmental literacy learning. The results of this study can be the basis for further research by providing evidence of the importance of improving students' environmental literacy skills to develop their potential and can motivate students to solve problems in the environment.
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.
