Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) serves as a strategic framework for cultivating students’ character and ecological awareness from an early age. Primary school teachers hold a crucial role as change agents in embedding sustainability values within the learning process. This study aims to analyze elementary school teachers’ competencies in implementing ESD through the Tatanén di Bale Atikan (TdBA) approach and to examine its alignment with the Asia-Pacific ESD Teacher Competency Framework. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) consisting of 15 competency indicators completed by 38 teachers from various elementary schools in Purwakarta Regency. The instrument encompassed three domains: Capacity to Create Learning, Capacity to Connect through Learning, and Capacity to Continue Learning. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal that all indicators achieved an average score above 3.5, with percentage achievements ranging from 71.58% to 92.63%. Teachers demonstrated strong performance in the domains of Capacity to Create Learning and Capacity to Continue Learning. However, the Capacity to Connect through Learning domain requires further improvement, particularly in aspects of community engagement, cross-sectoral collaboration, and sustainable professional development. These findings highlight the importance of reinforcing community-based continuous professional development to ensure a more comprehensive and sustainable integration of ESD within school practicesKeywords: teacher competence, ESD, basic education, TdBA, sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends in elementary school students' understanding of animal body forms and functions using a qualitative approach through a literature review method. Data were collected from relevant scientific journal articles and previous research, then analyzed descriptively, analytically, and critically. Findings indicate that students' understanding remains partial and descriptive; they can generally recognize external body parts without explaining the functional relationship between structures and their biological roles. Misconceptions are the primary obstacle, stemming from everyday experiences, inappropriate teaching materials, low scientific literacy, and rote-learning-centered instruction. External factors such as limited teaching method variation, media, and classroom management also contribute. The use of innovative media such as augmented reality and active learning models including Problem Based Learning and Discovery Learning has been shown to improve conceptual understanding. Therefore, science learning in elementary schools should be designed to be more interactive, contextual, and student-centered so that students' understanding of animal body forms and functions can develop optimally.
