Improving Environmental Awareness of High School Students’ in Malang City through Earthcomm Learning in the Geography Class

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the earthcomm learning model in increasing environmental awareness in high school students. Increased environmental awareness is a representation of students' knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills in solving environmental problems. In addition, this study was conducted to know the differences in student activities between classes using the earthcomm learning model and conventional learning models. The study used quasi-experimental design. The data was taken using an instrument of environmental awareness at the pretest and posttest in the experimental and control classes involving high school students in Malang City, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA with SPSS version 23 software for Windows. The results of the study prove that the earthcomm learning model has a significant influence on changes of knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and skills in solving environmental problems in high school students. Students' activity in the experimental class was more active than the control class.

The Effect of Experiential Learning Models on High School Students Learning Scores and Disaster Countermeasures Education Abilities

“…The implementation phase contributed to the increasing value of learning geography because students carried out activities directly in the field to be able to develop individual abilities and turn them into disaster countermeasures skills (Kurniawan et al, 2019). This activity can also teach students to solve problems in their environment (Aliman et al, 2019). Resolving these environmental problems is a human responsibility in reducing the potential for disasters (Ridhwan et al, 2019).…”

Developing of fish anatomy learning module based on local wisdom in Ngebel Lake, Ponorogo, East Java

“…Besides, it is also equipped with local wisdom values that motivate students to preserve cultural traditions in their environment. A similar statement from Aliman, Budijanto, Sumarmi, and Astina (2019); Ningrum et al (2018); Ramdiah, Abidinsyah, Royani, Husamah, and Fauzi (2020); and Sujinah, Mu'ammar, Affandy, and Supriyanto, (2019) that local wisdom-based learning can influence students' understanding and environmental awareness. This is also supported by the results of the students' response questionnaire which is presented in Table 3.…”

Relationship Between Behavior of Learning and Student Achievement in Physics Subject

“…Behavioral awareness will be to guide students to be a good learner. The results of the study (Aliman, Budijanto, Sumarmi, & Astina, 2019) have theoretical implications for agreeing that knowledge is the basis of forming attitudes and attitudes that can influence human behavior. In addition, the ability of humans to solve problems is a holistic representation of humans who have good knowledge awareness (Aliman et al, 2019) One effort is to use constructive approaches to teach many difficult complex physical concepts and knowledge in physics (Karakuyu, 2010).…”

Growing an environmentally sensitive attitude begins with good self-control, this can be reflected in positive behavior during the learning process in the classroom and the teacher must try new things so students can learn from nature to learn well so that they can improve student learning outcomes.…”
