Abstract

The escalating environmental challenges, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, highlight the urgent need for education systems to foster environmental awareness and action in younger generations. This study investigates the integration of Ecological Art into the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) in two Indonesian primary schools in contrasting ecological settings: a mountainous region and a coastal area. Employing a qualitative approach, the research examines how local ecological contexts influence students’ creativity, environmental awareness, and collaboration. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis to evaluate the role of Ecological Art in addressing local and global ecological concerns. Findings demonstrate that using natural materials such as bamboo and clay in the mountainous school reinforced connections to cultural heritage and sustainability. Conversely, the coastal school’s focus on recycling plastic waste underscored the urgency of combating pollution. Ecological art engages students emotionally and socially, fostering environmental consciousness and creative problem-solving skills. However, limited resources and insufficient teacher training were identified as barriers to broader implementation. This research highlights the potential of Ecological Art as a pedagogical tool to enhance sustainability education through place-based learning and community engagement. Recommendations are provided for educators and policymakers to adapt curricula to local ecological and cultural contexts, contributing to the broader discourse on transformative education for sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Community Service Learning (KKN) in enhancing the relevance of higher education to the development and needs of children in the field of education. Method: The implementation of PBL and KKN is carried out through teaching assistance activities as a form of community service. The execution method involves the formulation and implementation of a work program designed to address the problems present in the community. Practical Applications: The practical application of this method is that it allows children to conduct investigative problem-solving, both collaboratively and individually, and produce creative solutions. It also enables children to comprehend the material concepts presented effectively. Conclusion: The success of these community service activities demonstrates the potential of PBL and KKN in fostering problem-solving skills and creativity among children, thereby making a significant contribution to their educational development. This suggests that such teaching models can be an effective tool in enhancing the learning experience for students.
