<![CDATA[IMPLEMENTATION OF ECOPEDAGOGICAL LEARNING IN This study aims to determine the implementation of ecopedagogical learning and the environmental awareness character of students conducted at SD N 2 Krandegan, Puring District, Kebumen Regency. This research is a qualitative descriptive-analytic study. The subjects of the study are fifth-grade teachers and fifth-grade students at SD N 2 Krandegan. The data collection technique used interviews with fifth-grade teachers and fifth-grade students and conducted observations of fifth-grade students accompanied by documentation. Data analysis used inductive analysis. The research results show that (1) the planning of ecopedagogical learning is carried out by preparing lesson plans that include ecopedagogical learning objectives. The implementation stage is carried out through learning by directly observing environmental conditions, so the learning process is conditioned to provide meaningful learning experiences. The evaluation stage is conducted to measure affective understanding and assess changes in attitudes and behaviors by participating in direct learning in the environment. The challenges faced include students being unruly during outdoor learning, and teachers not fully understanding the concept of ecopedagogy. (2) The environmentally caring character of the students includes maintaining school cleanliness, disposing of waste, washing hands, and conserving energy. Thus, ecopedagogical learning can serve as an alternative reference for other schools in developing an environmentally caring character.
