Abstract

Environmental literacy has become a critical competency in higher education, particularly in shaping future educators who will influence environmental awareness across society. This study investigates the environmental literacy levels among Economic Education students at Kuningan University, Indonesia, recognizing their pivotal role as future change agents in educational settings. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from students through a structured questionnaire assessing five key dimensions: environmental knowledge, attention to environmental issues, environmental sensitivity, attitudes toward the environment, and pro-environmental behavior. The instrument was adapted from the Middle School Environmental Literacy Survey to ensure validity and reliability in measuring these interconnected components of environmental literacy. Results revealed a concerning gap between theoretical understanding and practical environmental action. While students demonstrated adequate environmental knowledge, they exhibited significantly lower levels in practical dimensions including attention, sensitivity, attitudes, and behavior. This discrepancy suggests that cognitive understanding alone does not automatically translate into environmental consciousness or sustainable practices. The study concludes that environmental literacy education needs fundamental strengthening through experiential learning approaches, community-based environmental projects, and comprehensive campus-wide sustainability initiatives. These interventions are essential to bridge the knowledge-action gap among future educators, enabling them to model and promote genuine environmental stewardship in their professional careers. The findings carry significant implications for curriculum development and pedagogical approaches in higher education institutions committed to advancing environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Research skills are a crucial competency in higher education, yet a notable gap often exists between curriculum requirements and students’ practical application abilities. This study aims to identify factors influencing students' research skills, specifically analyzing the role of research-based learning (RBL) and digital literacy in skill improvement. Furthermore, the study explores the mediating role of academic motivation in the relationship between RBL, digital literacy, and research skills. This study employed an explanatory survey method with a quantitative approach. Data were collected via a questionnaire distributed to 289 students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Kuningan University, during the 2024/2025 academic year. The instrument utilized was a structured questionnaire based on a measurement scale. Data analysis utilized mediation regression with SEM-PLS to test the relationships and influence between variables. The results indicated that RBL and digital literacy significantly and positively contributed directly to the enhancement of students' research skills. Furthermore, academic motivation was found to play a positive role as a mediating variable, increasing the influence of RBL and digital literacy on students' research skills. These findings offer practical implications for universities to strengthen RBL implementation (through research assignments and collaborative projects) and enhance digital literacy (through training on accessing sources and data analysis software). Additionally, higher education institutions are advised to foster a learning environment supporting academic motivation through recognition and constructive feedback. Future research may expand the variables by incorporating factors such as faculty support or academic culture for a more comprehensive understanding.Keywords: research skills; research-based learning; digital literacy; academic, motivation
