Abstract

The escalating environmental challenges, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, highlight the urgent need for education systems to foster environmental awareness and action in younger generations. This study investigates the integration of Ecological Art into the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) in two Indonesian primary schools in contrasting ecological settings: a mountainous region and a coastal area. Employing a qualitative approach, the research examines how local ecological contexts influence students’ creativity, environmental awareness, and collaboration. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis to evaluate the role of Ecological Art in addressing local and global ecological concerns. Findings demonstrate that using natural materials such as bamboo and clay in the mountainous school reinforced connections to cultural heritage and sustainability. Conversely, the coastal school’s focus on recycling plastic waste underscored the urgency of combating pollution. Ecological art engages students emotionally and socially, fostering environmental consciousness and creative problem-solving skills. However, limited resources and insufficient teacher training were identified as barriers to broader implementation. This research highlights the potential of Ecological Art as a pedagogical tool to enhance sustainability education through place-based learning and community engagement. Recommendations are provided for educators and policymakers to adapt curricula to local ecological and cultural contexts, contributing to the broader discourse on transformative education for sustainability.

Abstract

Collaboration is one of the essential "4C" skills required to foster learning that responds to students’ adaptation needs in a 21st-century environment. An important aspect of collaboration that can be examined in group-based, problem-solving learning is productive teamwork. This study explores the productive teamwork aspect of collaboration skills among sixth-grade students at SD Negeri Setono, utilizing Greenstein’s framework, particularly in the context of problem-based learning. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach. The study participants include both students and teachers of the sixth grade at SD Negeri Setono Surakarta. Data collection methods comprised observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation studies. To ensure data validity, technique and source triangulation were applied. The collected data were then analyzed through the interactive data analysis model of Miles and Huberman. Findings from this study reveal that students are able to work productively in group-structured, problem-based learning settings. This is evidenced by the manifestation of all productive teamwork indicators within the learning activities. The productivity demonstrated by students is further supported by other facets of collaboration skills
