Abstract

Riverbank erosion is a significant environmental issue that affects ecological systems, socioeconomic conditions, public health, and community resilience. Despite its widespread impacts, its potential as a contextual learning resource in environmental education has received limited scholarly attention. This study aims to synthesize existing evidence on the impacts of riverbank erosion and examine how the phenomenon can be reframed as a contextual learning medium within environmental education. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) adapted from the PRISMA guidelines was conducted using articles retrieved through Publish or Perish from the Scopus database. Using the keywords “riverbank erosion,” “contextual learning,” and “environmental education,” the selection process resulted in 10 relevant articles, which were analyzed through qualitative descriptive techniques. The findings reveal that riverbank erosion contributes to environmental degradation, damage to land and settlements, population displacement, and increased socioeconomic vulnerability. More importantly, this review highlights the educational value of riverbank erosion as an authentic environmental context that supports contextual learning, place-based learning, and environment-based learning approaches. By synthesizing evidence across environmental and educational studies, this review provides a conceptual linkage between local environmental challenges and meaningful learning experiences. The findings suggest that integrating riverbank erosion issues into environmental education can foster environmental literacy, critical thinking, and students’ awareness of sustainability challenges, while offering educators a framework for connecting real-world environmental problems with classroom learning.

Abstract

This phenomenological study explored school-age children’s lived experiences of environmental sanitation awareness and nutritious dietary behavior within environmental education in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving school-age children, parents, and teachers selected purposively from elementary and junior secondary schools. Thematic phenomenological analysis revealed five interrelated themes: developing sanitation awareness through daily practices, family and school as nutritional learning spaces, environmental education as behavioral transformation, social and cultural influences on healthy living, and healthy living as a shared responsibility. The findings indicate that children’s understandings of hygiene and healthy eating are shaped less by formal instruction than by repeated interactions, role modeling, and experiential learning in home, school, and community settings. Environmental education emerged as a meaningful framework for connecting sanitation, nutrition, and child well-being by fostering responsibility, comfort, and environmental care. The study implies that schools and families should collaborate to embed sanitation literacy and nutritional awareness into everyday routines and child-centered environmental programs.

Abstract

This qualitative case study explored public health students’ analytical reasoning experiences during the implementation of authentic tuberculosis cases in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). The study was conducted in an undergraduate public health program in Indonesia and involved students who actively participated in tuberculosis case discussions, collaborative inquiry, and reflective learning activities. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and learning documents, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that authentic tuberculosis cases encouraged students to identify core public health problems, interpret contextual factors such as stigma, overcrowding, limited health literacy, and healthcare access, and evaluate evidence-based solutions collaboratively. Four major reasoning patterns emerged: contextual understanding, evidence-based analysis, collaborative reasoning, and reflective engagement. The use of authentic cases enabled students to connect theoretical concepts with real community health conditions and strengthened their problem-solving orientation and professional awareness. The study concludes that integrating authentic tuberculosis cases into PBL is an effective strategy for fostering analytical reasoning in public health education. This approach supports deeper learning, meaningful engagement, and preparation for evidence-informed decision-making in professional public health practice.
