Effect of coral reef conservation education on students’ social sensitivity (A co-curricular learning experimental study at SMKN 61 Jakarta Pulo Tidung Besar Regency, Kepulauan Seribu)

Abstract

The use of the coral reef as a source of community livelihood on Tidung Besar Island has negative impacts on the coral reef itself. Students of SMKN 61 Jakarta are a small part of the Tidung Besar community that is involved in coral reef conservation efforts on Tidung Besar Island. Efforts to build social sensitivity can be conducted at schools through co-curricular education activities. Co-curricular activites are activities to add to, supplement or replace intracurricular learning, which is according to the curriculum. This learning is in line with informal education, which has functions as a complement, supplement and substitute. This is in accordance with the Indonesian national education system, nonformal education and family education. Students are required to have social sensitivity to the environment so they will have a sense to maintain and improve coral reef sustainability. Conservation education, which is a nature conservation strategy, is essential for inclusion in school learning. The purpose of this research was to increase social sensitivity about coral reef conservation in students of SMKN 61 Jakarta through coral reef conservation education. This research was conducted on October 20th-21st, 2017 at SMKN 61 Jakarta. The research method was quasi-experimental with a one group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 32 students. Hypothesis testing by t-test demonstrated that coral reef conservation education had an influence on the students' social sensitivity to coral reef conservation.

Improving Environmental Sensitivity through Problem-Based Hybrid Learning (PBHL): An Experimental Study

“…Another study by Puspitaningrum et al (2018) concluded that coral reef conservation education has an effect on students' environ-mental sensitivity to coral reefs. This influence is caused by the learning process carried out by students in observing and analyzing the conditions of their surroundings that can affect the survival of coral reefs.…”

“…One learning subject that can foster student environmental sensitivity is geography. Students can build environmental sensitivity through geography learning by maintaining awareness and preserving the environment (Puspitaningrum et al, 2018). Environmental sensitivity in learning geography in higher education requires students to understand, feel, and provide solutions to environmental problems (Kahraman, 2016;Cater, 2021).…”

Keefektifan Model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning ( PBL ) terhadap Kemampuan Literasi dan Numerasi Peserta Didik di Sekolah Dasar

“…Tentunya berdasarkan masalah tersebut guru diharapkan mampu menganalisis kebutuhan siswa yang disesuaikan dengan lingkungan dan kondisi siswa serta tujuan pembelajaran (Putri, 2021). Baik dalam menentukan metode atau bahkan media yang digunakan pada proses pembelajaran (Puspitaningrum et al, 2018). Salah satunya yang direkomendasikan beberapa peneliti terdahulu yaitu Problem Base Learning (Nur et al, 2016).…”

Distribution analysis of coral reefs for development of marine tourism in Weh Island, Aceh, Indonesia

“…Sustainability impacts are formed as two positive and negative sides (Kinseng et al, 2018). If viewed from the positive side, if there is a sense of concern for the local community and the government, it will have a positive impact on the existence of a coral reef conservation area (Roberts et al, 2012) which can be used as educational tourism for environmental conservation, especially in marine tourism (Puspitaningrum et al, 2018). However, there are negative impacts if it is not done with a caring attitude.…”
