The utilization of bio-booklet of plants diversities based on local potency to enhance student’s conservation attitudes and skills for classification

2018

Community-based natural resources in Indonesia are highly diverse and notably important as potential learning resources. One of those local potencies lies in Taman Hutan Kota Langsa. The classroom activities were conducted through the use of bio-booklet containing near extinct plants and native plants of Aceh that existed in Taman Hutan Kota Langsa. With regard to this issue, the current study was carried out to enhance classification skills and conservation attitudes of young learners during field trip to Taman Hutan kota Langsa. The samples of this study were first grade students of SMA Negeri 5 Langsa. Data of conservation attitudes were obtained from questionnaire, whereas data of classification skills were collected using pretest-posttest and student worksheet. In addition, the data were analyzed using mean-difference test and normalized gain score. Preliminary study disclosed that Taman Hutan Kota Langsa is importantly feasible to be learning resource because of its 80 plants ...

Attitudes primary school students according to problems of environmental preservation and protection

Abstract Ecological education has a key role in achieving responsible attitude towards nature as well as in promotion of outlooks and conduct with the aim of sustainable development. Apart from TIMSS 2003, the research which determined low level of student achievements in ecological field, in our educational practice there have been no researches concerning the influence of education on students’ attitudes towards environmental protection and improvement. The research presented in this work represents a part of pedagogical experiment carried out on a sample of 180 seventh grade students who studied the content related to ecology within biology curriculum. The intention of conducted survey was to determine the attitudes and opinions the students have about preservation and protection of the environment. Explored attitudes of surveyed students towards environmental protection and improvement are positive in large percentage, but they lack the knowledge about contaminators from the immediate environment as well as their influence to it. The readiness of students for participating the ecological projects is not great in percentage, and is only oriented to the actions in the immediate surroundings and with the immediate results. Ecological education will be successful only if teachers create the culture of critical thinking and if ecological education is not restricted to formal traditional education. The active role of students in the educational process is necessary for gaining the environmental knowledge, attitudes and habits leading to their pro-ecological behavior. Key words: ecological education, preservation of the environment, attitudes of the students, primary school

Types of Shade Plants As Efforts to Increase Students' Knowledge and Attitudes for Conservation

2022

Conservation education carried out for children and adolescents plays an important role in the formation of basic community character which is important in achieving the affective aspects of children, in addition to cognitive or intellectual aspects and psychomotor aspects or skills. The purpose of this community service is to increase knowledge, ability and provide scientific information about shade plants that can be used to overcome pollution and encourage conservation attitudes towards the environment. This service was carried out in June 2022 with students at SMP Negeri 44 Palembang class VII. The method used in this community service is a participatory method. The increase in students' knowledge after the service can be seen from the question and answer activities, the children enthusiastically answer the questions given after the discussion and stimulus to students about the importance of shade plants. Community service, especially regarding conservation education for students, will ultimately support sustainable development and can be implemented in daily life so that it can have a positive impact on environmental conservation in the present and future.

Jurnal Pendidikan Matematika dan IPA

Biodiversity in the form of plants is a nation's wealth that needs to be maintained and developed by the government and the people of Indonesia. However, to keep it, the community must be introduced to the wealth of plants around it so that it fosters an attitude of caring, belonging, and nurturing. Meanwhile, the government makes rules so that the richness of plant biodiversity is not destroyed, destroyed, or transferred to other countries. One effective way to introduce the richness of plant biodiversity is through formal education, in this case, lessons at school. Schools are expected to convey the message of the importance of plant biodiversity, its types, and how to maintain it in learning materials. All notes can be inserted at any level of education, from kindergarten, elementary, junior high, high school to university. For materials in high school, some biology materials can be used to foster an attitude of maintaining biodiversity, one of which is plants' material w...

The Environmental Knowledge and Attitude of Middle-School Students in Five Prominent Green Schools in Indonesia

Proceedings of the International Conference on Teacher Training and Education 2018 (ICTTE 2018), 2018

This research aimed to assess the levels of the environmental knowledge and attitude of the middle-school students in five prominent green schools in Indonesia and to determine the possible factors related to their achievements. The findings were very important in giving feedbacks of the implementation of environmental education in Indonesia, especially in the early educational level. This research relied on the qualitative paradigm. A total of 1203 middle-school students and five Science teachers were involved in the survey and interview. The data related to environmental knowledge and attitude were gathered using a valid and reliable instrument of the environmental-literacy test and a prominent closed-ended questionnaire measuring the levels of ecological paradigm, the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) Instrument. The data were descriptively displayed using SPSS 17.0. The data related to the Science teachers' perceptions were gathered using in-depth-interview technique. Context analysis was used to draw the observed data to provide the explanation of the factors related to the achievement of the levels of students' knowledge and attitude. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the participants possessed a low level of knowledge and a middle-ecological level of attitude. The lack of important environmental competencies enhancing environmentally-friendly attitude within the curriculum and poor active and contextual teaching-and-learning processes may be of important factors related to the students' low levels of knowledge and attitudes.
