The Effectiveness of Education for Environmental Sustainable Development to Enhance Environmental Literacy in Science Education: A Case Study of Hydropower

Abstract

Renewable energy sources in Indonesia, such as hydropower, are very abundant. However, the utilization of these sources as alternative energy in Indonesia has not been optimized. Education for Environmental Sustainable Development (EESD) approach could be implemented in science education to give students valuable insights into the environment. The form of teaching materials for EESD is the student worksheet. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of learning using EESD-based student worksheets to improve environmental literacy. This study belonged to the quasi-experiment, and the sample was taken using a cluster sampling technique class. The findings of this research showed that the mean score of the experimental class was greater than the control class, and there was a remarkable difference in environmental literacy between the experimental and control class. Therefore, we could conclude that EESD-based student worksheets are useful to improve students' environmental literacy.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) dalam Pembelajaran IPA

“…Salah satu upaya dalam mewujudkan SDGs adalah melalui pendidikan. Pendidikan dapat digambarkan sebagai harapan besar untuk merancang masa depan berkelanjutan yang lebih baik dan juga merupakan salah satu upaya dalam mengatasi krisis lingkungan (Wilujeng et al, 2019;Yuliani & Hartanto, 2019).…”

“…Pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan lingkungan yang baik dapat menjamin ketersediaan sumber daya alam. Sehingga dibutuhkan pendidikan bagi masyarakat agar memiliki kesadaran terkait permasalahan lingkungan dan dapat membuat keputusan penting bagi lingkungan dan masyarakat (Karaarslan & Teksöz, 2016;Wilujeng et al, 2019).…”

“…Peran penting dari sains dan teknologi terhadap pengembangan berkelanjutan dalam masyarakat modern menunjukkan hubungan yang erat dari pembelajaran IPA dalam ESD (Eilks, 2015). Wilujeng et al, (2019) juga menyatakan bahwa melalui pembelajaran IPA, diharapkan siswa mengalami perubahan sikap yang positif dan nantinya mampu memberikan dampak positif bagi lingkungan.…”

The Effect of the Scientific Approach on Enhancing Elementary School Students’ Learning Outcomes in Indonesia: A Meta-Analysis

“…Related to the dimensions of science as a product and process, learning should be taught to students how this knowledge is found by students [8]. There are still many teachers who do not have adequate knowledge and skills in selecting and implementing various learning methods and approaches that can increase curiosity, activeness, interest, and motivation [9], [10]. The teacher must choose a learning approach that is by the characteristics of the student so that it can affect students' science learning outcomes.…”

The Existence Condition Of Environment And Disaster Literacy At Elementary School Student Mother In Bogor West Java

“…For example, the students can jump their knowledge to the environment when biology material at class must be implemented in the field directly like for creating bio-pory (Prastiwi et al, 2020). As result, the emerging of environmental literacy can provide people who comprehend and surmount environmental obstacles so that environmental agents who have a caring attitude towards the environment can be prepared (Wilujeng et al, 2019). Meilinda et al, (2017) environment literacy covers some of the aspects that encompass knowledge, attitude, and environmental concern.…”
