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

The gap between students’ environmental knowledge and actual sustainable consumption behavior remains a key challenge in environmental education. This study aims to analyze the effect of ecological literacy on sustainable consumption behavior with peer influence as a moderating variable among tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Kadugede, Academic Year 2025/2026. A quantitative survey approach was employed, with data collected via Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 156 respondents using proportional random sampling. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA). Results show that ecological literacy has a significant positive effect on sustainable consumption behavior (β = 0.343, t = 5.157, p < 0.01). Furthermore, peer influence significantly moderates the relationship between ecological literacy and sustainable consumption behavior, strengthening the positive effect when students are surrounded by a pro-environmental peer group. Simultaneously, ecological literacy and peer influence explain 51.1% of the variance in sustainable consumption behavior (F = 80.040, p < 0.001). These findings imply that improving sustainable consumption behavior among adolescents requires not only enhancing environmental literacy but also cultivating a supportive social culture within schools through group-based environmental programs. Keywords: Ecological Literacy, Peer Influence, Sustainable Consumption Behavior.
