Abstract

Science literacy is crucial for prospective elementary school teachers to enhance their higher-order thinking skills. Science education that emphasizes the development of higher-order thinking skills is based on science process skills. This research aims to determine the relationship between science literacy and science process skills on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) cognitive learning outcomes. The study employs a quantitative approach with a correlational method. Data collection for the variables of science literacy and HOTS cognitive learning outcomes was conducted through written tests, while data collection for the science process skills variable was carried out through performance tests developed by the researcher. The population consists of all 2022 Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program or PGSD students in Sebelas Maret University, with random cluster sampling. Data analysis employs multiple correlation analysis. The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between science literacy and science process skills on HOTS cognitive learning outcomes, with a significance value of 0.000 0.05 and a Pearson correlation value of 0.495. There is a positive and significant combined relationship between science literacy and science process skills on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) cognitive learning outcomes, with a moderate level of correlation. The findings of this study have important implications for students' enhancement of their science process skills, science literacy, and HOTS cognitive learning outcomes. This research positively impacts academic programs by encouraging students and implementing relevant teaching strategies and methods, thereby improving science literacy, science process skills, and HOTS cognitive learning outcomes.

Abstract

Growing environmental degradation has become a pressing global issue, highlighting the importance of education in shaping the environmental awareness of the younger generation. This study aims to fill the gap in the literature regarding the contribution of schools in building sustainable learning ecosystems that promote environmental awareness among students. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach in several schools that implement environmental education programs. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and students, observation of school activities, and document analysis of environment-related education policies. The results showed that the integration of environmental issues in the curriculum, the implementation of nature-based extracurricular programs, and the management of environmentally friendly school facilities play a significant role in building students' awareness of sustainability. Activities such as reforestation, waste management and environmental campaigns allow students to be directly involved in sustainability practices, which in turn increases their understanding of and responsibility for environmental conservation. The involvement of various stakeholders, including families and communities, to support the creation of an effective learning ecosystem. This research provides strategic recommendations for policy makers to design a more integrated and impactful environmental education program. This research is expected to serve as a guide in efforts to strengthen environmental awareness through an educational approach
