The aims of this research are to: (1) analyze the attitude towards the environment in students of Adiwiyata and Non-Adiwiyata schools on EBSS (Environmental Behavior Sub Scale), EOSS (Environmental Opinion Sub Scale), and EESS (Environmental Emotion Sub Scale); and (2) analyze the attitude towards the environment in students of Adiwiyata and Non-Adiwiyata schools. The research method used is a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics with independent samples t-test. The results showed that there were significant differences in attitudes towards the environment between Adiwiyata and Non-Adiwiyata school students on EBSS, EOSS, and EESS with the significance probability of 0.007, 0.000, and 0.025 respectively.

The Role of School Life Quality in Predicting Adolescents' Learned Helplessness with the Mediating Role of Assertiveness

“…This means that as the quality of school life for adolescent students improves, it leads to a reduction in learned helplessness and vice versa. This finding is consistent with the results of previous studies (Button et al, 2013;Erlianti et al, 2023;Fais, 2017;Johnson et al, 2011;Kelly et al, 2016;Larashati et al, 2022;Lee et al, 2020;Li et al, 2011;Maba, 2022;Moreland et al, 2015;Oladele, 2014;Prihadi et al, 2018;Raufelder & Kulakow, 2021;Salminen et al, 2014;Wei & Chen, 2022;Wu & Tu, 2019;Yoong et al, 2015), suggesting that school life quality is an effective factor in reducing learned helplessness. These studies found that improving the quality of life for adolescent girls leads to better stress management and challenging situations, thereby reducing learned helplessness.…”

“…It impacts both formal and informal aspects of school and is influenced by society, individual experiences, and peer relationships (Li et al, 2011).

Diffusion Innovation Behavior Student in Waste Management Schools on Small Islands

“…Health Promotion is related to new information that will be conveyed with the aim of introducing new information that will give rise to better changes. (Larashati et al, 2022;Pane & Patriana, 2016;Syah et al, 2021). The main characteristic of an innovation is the novelty factor.…”

“…Diffusion of innovation is a process where an innovation is communicated through certain communication channels over a certain period in a social system. Health Promotion is related to new information that will be conveyed with the aim of introducing new information that will give birth to better changes (Hana Naqiyya Nada et al, 2021; Larashati et al, 2022;Syah et al, 2021). This would be good if communication is a process where someone transfers stimuli which are usually symbols of words to change other people's behavior for the better, in this case is related to waste management in the school community.…”
