Abstract

This study is motivated by the low level of student awareness regarding the importance of environmental care, particularly in waste management, despite its direct impact on daily life within the school environment. The aim of this research is to analyze the environmental awareness of fourth-grade students at SDN Da’iring 1 through waste management activities in the IPAS subject “Our Environment is Under Threat.” A qualitative approach was used with interactive data analysis techniques, involving all 17 fourth-grade students as research subjects. Data were collected through observation sheets and multiple-choice tests to measure students’ knowledge and attitudes toward environmental issues. The results indicate that students demonstrate a generally good level of environmental awareness and concern, but most are still unable to manage waste effectively. These findings support the theory that knowledge and understanding of environmental issues are essential prerequisites for developing environmental concern, but do not necessarily lead to effective waste management behavior. The main conclusion of this study is that environmental awareness supported by cognitive understanding alone is insufficient to produce concrete action in waste management. The implications include theoretical contributions to the literature on environmental education in elementary schools and practical recommendations for schools to integrate clean classroom activities and recycling programs into thematic learning. This study also opens opportunities for further research on educational interventions aimed at improving students' waste management skills in elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether discussion and question-answer methods can influence and enhance the critical thinking skills of 4th-grade students at UPTD SDN Socah 2, especially in science learning. In the first cycle of the study, it was found that the overall student score was 60%, which did not meet the predetermined success indicator of 80%. Therefore, a second cycle was conducted to rectify the previous errors, resulting in an improved score of 94.20%. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of question-answer and discussion methods can stimulate students' learning motivation, consequently enhancing their critical thinking skills as a form of problem-solving, particularly in science learning regarding the properties of matter and its changes.
