Abstract

In this modern era, where environmental challenges are becoming an urgent issue society faces, the need to foster students’ science literacy and scientific attitude is becoming crucial. Science literacy empowers individuals to make informed decisions, understand the complexities of the natural world, and solve environmental issues. In practical life, a scientific attitude is the tendency to act and behave in a predetermined way when solving challenges. The Environmental learning approach addresses the challenge by connecting scientific concepts to real-world environmental issues, allowing students to explore environmental challenges and equipping them with practical skills. This research focuses on seeking information about students’ profile of science literacy and scientific attitude through implementing the environmental learning approach and identifies the correlation between them. This research implements a correlation research design. The purposive sampling method is carried out to define the participants of this research, which are 27 students (12 male and 15 female). The data is collected through an observation sheet and ten short answer questions which was analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. The correlation coefficient result show the number of 0.806 and a significance level (p-value) of 0.000 means a positive and strong correlation between students’ science literacy and scientific attitude. In conclusion, the connection highlights students’ capability to grasp phenomena and apply scientific concepts when facing environmental problems.

Abstract

Understanding how young people perceive renewable and non-renewable energy sources is essential for aligning education with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study explores the perspectives of 748 Indonesian high school students on solar panel versus fossil fuels through an open-ended question. Different from previous studies, this work uses semantic network analysis to map the conceptual connections in students’ understanding, which provides us a structural perspective on students’ perceptions. Using semantic network analysis with NetMiner, 748 Indonesian students’ responses were categorized into five ideas: Fossil fuels formation (G1), Solar panel role in sustainability (G2), Practical benefits of solar panels (G3), Non-renewable resource concern (G4), and Unsustainable fossil fuels use (G5). The findings indicate that students have a basic understanding of environmental and resource-related issues. Most responses remain surface level with limited demonstration of critical thinking. Furthermore, students’ ideas primarily address the environmental and economic pillars of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) while the social pillar is rarely discussed. These results highlight the need to improve ESD practices in Indonesia by explicitly integrating social dimensions into sustainability education. Empowering students to consider who is affected by sustainability decisions, and how they can contribute to fairer, more inclusive solutions can help to increase not only environmental awareness but also foster civic responsibility and empathy.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of project-based learning (PjBL) on students’ motivation in science learning. The participants consisted of 31 eighth-grade students from a public school in Bandung, West Java, comprising 16 male and 15 female students. The research employed a classroom action research design, with data collected through questionnaires and classroom observations. Specifically, students’ motivation was measured using the Students’ Motivation Toward Science Learning (SMTSL) questionnaire, which encompasses six dimensions: self-efficacy, active learning strategies, science learning value, performance goal, achievement goal, and learning environment stimulation. The findings revealed that students’ motivation levels in science learning during Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 were 69% and 68%, respectively, both categorized as “good.” However, the data also indicated a lack of significant improvement in motivation despite the implementation of the PjBL approach. This stagnation suggests that further exploration is needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the limited impact of PjBL on students' motivational development. Potential areas of inquiry include the quality of project implementation, student engagement dynamics, and contextual factors within the learning environment that may have influenced the outcomes.
