Abstract

Purpose-The research examines the environmental literacy of the VIII grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Banawa based on four principal indicators: ecological knowledge, cognitive skills, environmental affect, and pro-environmental behavior. The research aims to assess the interrelations among these indicators and to provide recommendations for enhancing environmental literacy in schools with comparable settings.Methodology-The method of study is descriptive quantitative, which describes and analyzes systematically based on the students' environmental literacy indicator measurement results. The sample was 32 students of VIII grade, who were selected by using a total sampling technique. The instrument was a questionnaire containing multiple-choice tests measuring ecological knowledge and cognitive ability and a Likert scale measuring students' environmental affects and pro-environmental behavior. The MSELS model informed the structure of each of the sections of the questionnaire. The questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to compute percentages and the means of each indicator and simple regression analysis to compute relationships among variables.Findings-The research results show that the overall environmental literacy students were classified as good, with a mean score of 76.64%. In particular, ecological knowledge was 77.09%, cognitive skills 67.19%, environmental affect 81.45%, and pro-environmental behavior 80.82%. The results of the regression analysis indicated that environmental affects have a significant impact on pro-environmental behavior.Significance- Environmental affects are important in encouraging students' pro-environmental behavior and account for 54.2% of the variation in pro-environmental behavior. The findings highlight that pro-environmental behavior is better brought about by developing students' emotional engagement and worry about the environment rather than through the single-minded development of ecological knowledge. Keywords : Environmental Literacy, Ecological Knowledge, Cognitive Skills, Environmental Affect, Pro-environmental Behavior

Abstract

Purpose-This study examines the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique group guidance guide in improving students' career exploration at SMP Negeri Bontang. Career exploration is an important process in student development, especially at the junior high school level, where students begin to recognize their potential, interests, talents, and personal values while exploring relevant career opportunities. An effective career exploration process should be systematically designed through supportive services such as career guidance and interactive approaches, such as the Jigsaw technique, that encourage the development of communication, cooperation, and decision-making skills.Methodology-The Jigsaw technique can be a practical approach in group guidance services to support career exploration. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a control and experimental group design. The research subjects involved 30 students of SMPN 1 Bontang as the control group and 30 SMPN 3 Bontang as the experimental group. Data collection techniques used a career exploration scale questionnaire, while data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and N-Gain test.Findings-The results showed that the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique group guidance guide positively influenced students' career exploration. Based on calculations using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, a significance value of 0.00 was obtained, below 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results of the Jigsaw technique group guidance service. In addition, the calculation of the gain score shows a value of 0.67, which puts the guide's effectiveness in the medium category. Thus, this Jigsaw technique group guidance guide is declared effective enough to increase the career exploration of Bontang City Public Junior High School students.Significance- The implementation of group guidance services that support career exploration is often not optimal, mainly due to the unavailability of well-structured guidelines.Keywords: Group guidance guide, Jigsaw technique, Career exploration
