“…To explore the possibility that the improvement of participants’ social responsibility is derived from their behaviors towards solving SSIs, we examined the correlation between the post-test score of VSRoSE and willingness to act. Cognitive factors such as knowledge, perception, and preferences are often closely linked to actual behaviors (Crall et al, 2013 ; Yeh et al, 2021 ). Thus, we assumed that STEM college students with higher social responsibility were likely to have a higher willingness to act to resolve SSIs (willingness to act).…”

Background Despite increasing awareness of the importance of promoting the social responsibility of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals, few intervention programs have been developed to enhance the social responsibility of college students or adults in the STEM fields. In this paper, we introduced a new instructional program, called ENACT (engage, navigate, anticipate, conduct, and take action) and examined whether the program increased the social responsibility among safety engineering students (N = 46) recruited from a university located in a southern metropolitan area of South Korea. Results In the ENACT program, the college students selected and explored socioscientific issues (SSIs) of their own interest then autonomously engaged in scientific and engineering group projects spanning a semester where they developed solutions to the SSIs and shared them with their communities. At the conclusion of the intervention in this study, they displayed an increased social responsibility regarding the consideration of societal needs and demands, civic engagement and services, and participation in policy decision-making. Social responsibility scores measured after the intervention (post-test) correlated with students' willingness to voluntarily participate in projects involving SSIs. In addition, the intervention effects were more pronounced for the students who initially had medium and low social responsibility scores. Conclusions We have shown that social responsibility can be nurtured by systemic instructional approaches, and increased social responsibility can lead to greater commitment to resolving SSIs. Mastering engineering content knowledge and skills is the key element of engineering curricula. However, we are compelled to incorporate social responsibility into the STEM curriculum. We believe that the ENACT model contributes toward this end.

“…Meskipun begitu, pengetahuan akan kesadaran lingkungan melalui pembelajaran saja tidak cukup. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan temuan Yeh et al (2021) bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam perilaku lingkungan antara siswa yang memiliki nilai lebih tinggi dan lebih rendah dalam hasil belajar konsep ilmu lingkungan. Tentunya ini menunjukkan bahwa masalah lingkungan tidak dapat terselesaikan jika hanya ada ilmu lingkungan yang baik, tetapi dibarengi juga sikap dan perilaku lingkungan positif.…”

Environmental awareness is fundamental considering its impact on the survival of all creatures on Earth. This scoping review article aims to construct an effective and comprehensive approach to increase student environmental awareness. The writing of this article refers to the systematic review scoping method with five stages, those are topic selection, literature search, literature selection, literature assessment, and the last is analysis and synthesis of literature. The synthesis of this article focuses on research results from all aspects related to the environment as the dependent variable. Sixteen research articles published by international journals with a focus on environmental themes are the main data sources in this article. The synthesis of the 16 data sources resulted a summary of the implementation, evaluation, influencing factors as well as strategies in increasing environmental awareness from various articles and construct more effective environmental awareness approach.

“…The scientific attitude value from the observation results of both classes has good criteria because both use the discovery learning model on environmental pollution material. Implement the integration of environmental issues as an initial problem to explore the problem-solving process of high school students and propose the concept of solving environmental problems that affect higher environmental literacy scores (Yeh et al, 2021).…”

The composition of the contents of the digital book is adjusted to the syntax of the discovery learning model. The results of the study were to determine the effect on students' scientific attitudes in learning science. The research method is Quasi-Experimental Design using The Posttest-only control group design. The subjects of this study were students of class VII MTs. Maarif Ambulu. Data collection methods are observation methods and questionnaire methods. Data analysis of the scientific attitude observation method used a t-test, student scientific attitude questionnaire method and scientific performance observation method used descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the t-test analysis, it is known that there is an influence on students' scientific attitudes in learning science by using discovery learning based on environmental pollution digital books. Based on the results, the average value of the experimental class was 80.50 with very good criteria and the control class was 69.67 with good criteria
