Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the outdoor study method in improving students’ ecological intelligence in geography learning at SMAN 6 Muaro Jambi. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed, involving 60 eleventh-grade students, divided equally into an experimental group receiving outdoor study instruction and a control group receiving conventional classroom learning. Ecological intelligence was measured using a validated five-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered as both the pretest and posttest, which served as the sole quantitative data source. Observation sheets were used only as supporting documentation of learning activities. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to control initial differences in pretest scores. The ANCOVA results indicated that the pretest covariate significantly influenced posttest scores, and after controlling for this effect, the outdoor study method produced a statistically significant increase in ecological intelligence (p < 0.001). Students in the experimental group achieved higher adjusted mean scores compared with the control group. The findings demonstrate that outdoor study is an effective experiential learning approach that meaningfully enhances ecological awareness, sensitivity, and environmentally responsible tendencies in secondary school geography education.

Abstract

Village-level development is an essential component of regional planning that emphasizes the sustainable utilization of local potentials. This study aims to assess the level of development across five Nagari in IV Koto Aur Malintang Subdistrict, Padang Pariaman Regency, based on regional potential indicators outlined in the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation No. 12 of 2007. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the Research analyzes secondary data on natural resources, human resources, institutional capacity, infrastructure, and public facilities. Each indicator was scored according to the official village profiling guidelines to categorize the development potential of each Nagari. The results indicate that the highest natural resource potential lies in the plantation and livestock sectors, particularly in Nagari III Koto Aur Malintang Selatan and Nagari III Koto Aur Malintang Utara. Agricultural potential tends to fall within the moderate-to-low range in most Nagari. In terms of human resources, population density and livelihood diversity vary significantly, influencing disparities in development outcomes. Institutional strength and infrastructure availability also vary across Nagari, with some exhibiting limitations in transportation and health facilities. Overall, development potential is categorized into three groups: high potential (Nagari   III Koto Aur Malintang Selatan and Nagari   III Koto Aur Malintang Timur), medium potential (Nagari   III Koto Aur Malintang Utara and Balai Baiak Malai III Koto), and low potential (Nagari   III Koto Aur Malintang). The study highlights the importance of adopting a place-based development approach to reduce inter-Nagari disparities. These findings are expected to inform more contextual, targeted, and sustainable village development planning.
