Abstract

Global crises, particularly the climate crises, highlight the urgent need for educational approaches that cultivate environmental responsibility. The aim of this study is to explore how educators in Landak Region, West Kalimantan, perceive the importance, adequacy, barriers, and success factors of Environment-Based Character Education (EBCE). A questionnaire-based survey was conducted, combining closed and open-ended items, and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, thematic coding, t tests, chi-square tests, and Spearman correlations. The results show that concern about the climate crises is consistently high across demographic groups, yet EBCE integration into school practice remains fragmented and limited. Barriers include insufficient teacher training, lack of resources, and weak institutional support, while success factors include project-based learning, digital tools, cross-subject integration, and community collaboration. The findings imply that EBCE holds considerable potential for strengthening sustainable education if supported by coherent policies, institutional commitment, and investment in teacher capacity. The study improves existing knowledge by linking local cultural strengths with national frameworks and by offering evidence-based insights for more effective EBCE implementation.

Abstract

Although feasibility (practical accessibility) and meaningfulness (personal relevance) are established drivers of participation in non-formal education, their direct impact on learning outcomes, specifically sustainability awareness within Japanese Community Learning Centers (CLCs), has not been empirically established. This research addresses this research gap by examining how perceived feasibility and meaningfulness of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) activities affect sustainability awareness among participants in CLC in Japan. Using a mixed-methods case study approach, quantitative data were collected from 370 participants at Misonou Community Center in Hiroshima and analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), complemented by qualitative insights from 30 follow-up interviews. Results indicated that both feasibility (β = 0.32, p < .001) and meaningfulness (β = 0.48, p < .001) significantly predicted sustainability awareness, collectively explaining 56% of variance, with meaningfulness showing stronger predictive power. These findings provide an empirically validated framework for ESD program design, suggesting that practitioners should adopt a dual-focused strategy that reduces logistical barriers while collaboratively developing curricula that reflect local contexts and participant values. This evidence-based approach enables CLCs to effectively support national sustainability objectives and promote environmental consciousness.

Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven the emergence of smart home innovations that not only provide convenience but also contribute to energy efficiency and resource conservation. This study aims to develop an IoT-based smart home prototype using the ESP8266-12e module to control lights and solenoid valves that function as water faucets. The system operates in two modes: automatic mode, utilizing light-dependent resistors (LDRs) and ultrasonic sensors, and manual mode through a web-based control interface. The method in this study uses an experimental method consisting of a literature review, hardware and software design, implementation, and testing. The results show that the system functions reliably and remains stable within a Wi-Fi connection range of up to 21 meters. Furthermore, this prototype shows potential as a project-based learning medium in science and technology education, particularly in the context of sustainability education. By integrating the concepts of electricity and water conservation, this study contributes to increasing scientific literacy while supporting sustainable household practices.

Abstract

Most science teachers regard practical work as an essential requirement for science teaching. There is, however, research-based evidence suggesting that how practical work might best be assessed and carried out in high school science was still ineffective and controversial. Here, the conceptual and procedural knowledge of 110 secondary students as they carried out the practical work in science courses are explored. Regardless of the amount and details of prior instruction that the students get, the descriptive analysis method was used to investigate the extent to which students at the secondary level can both explain biological concepts and perform practical procedures after participating in practical work. A total of 30 open-ended questions were given to students after completing four practical works on the topics of cells, food testing, photosynthesis, and urine testing. Students performed slightly better in procedural knowledge (65) compared to conceptual knowledge (64), with both scores out of 100. The results thus far are consistent with findings from previous studies, which indicate that practical work lacks emphasis on the minds-on aspects. It also shows that procedural knowledge, which is not currently, summatively assessed in Indonesian school science, has not been fully mastered by students even after carrying out practical work. To address this issue, the alternative to a practical test as an indirect assessment of practical skills (IAPS) from England has been adapted to the assessment of practical work in an Indonesian classroom setting. The considerations and limitations are discussed.

Abstract

One of the causes of students' low conceptual understanding is the lack of instructional materials with a composition that aids students in understanding concepts independently or during classroom learning. The aim of this research is to produce a character-based learning module, particularly emphasizing the virtues of honesty, valuing others' opinions, and caring, through a valid, practical, and effective generative learning model to enhance students' conceptual understanding. This study follows a research and development approach. The development design employs the ADDIE model, tested with 29 eleventh-grade science students at SMAN 6 Banjarmasin. Data collection involved validation sheets for the learning module, observations of lesson plan implementation, student response questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The data were then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show: (1) the developed character-based learning module with an average score of 2.9 is declared valid, (2) the module, assessed through lesson plan implementation and student response questionnaires, is considered practical, and (3) the developed character-based learning module is effective in improving students' conceptual understanding, yielding an N-gain of 0.65 categorized as moderate, with a noticeable difference in students' character achievement before and after the learning process. In conclusion, this study affirms that the character-based learning module with a generative learning model is deemed suitable for enhancing students' conceptual understanding.

Abstract

The science learning process will be more meaningful if it includes facts, concepts, scientific ways of thinking, and solving problems. Meaningful learning will make it easier for students to understand science concepts. Material on animal life cycle and environmental conservation is one of the materials studied at the elementary school level. In general, students find it difficult to learn the material because the material is abstract. I-Spring learning media can help contextualize abstract material and increase learning effectiveness. This research aims to develop I-Spring-based learning media products on animal life cycle materials and environmental preservation for elementary school students. This research is a developmental research using the ADDIE development model. The research procedure consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The subjects of this study were 20 grade 4 students of SDN Tanjungrejo Malang City. The results of media validation showed a score of 91.74%, material validation was 96.18%, and learning validation was 94.04% while the attractiveness of I-Spring learning media products obtained a score of 90.55%. Thus, learning media is very feasible to use to support the effectiveness of the science learning process.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries frequently affected by natural disasters, including land, air, and sea disasters. Government efforts to socialize disaster mitigation education have been extensive across various sectors of society. However, the results have not yet met the expected targets. In Japan, a country frequently hit by numerous disasters, disaster mitigation education is integrated into the curriculum. At least twice a year, students undergo disaster preparedness drills. This aims to make students responsive when disasters strike suddenly. A trial of disaster mitigation education was conducted, focusing on understanding the surrounding environment by identifying hazardous and safe areas and interviewing residents to gather information about past disasters in their area. Subsequently, students were taught to prepare emergency kits, create eating utensils, and develop learning materials like story cards, similar to practices in Japanese elementary schools. Data was collected from 500 questionnaires distributed to elementary school teachers in Mataram. The trial materials were tested in each class, and teachers were interviewed afterward. The results showed that some teachers taught disaster mitigation to students, resulting in increased understanding among students about what to do when facing disasters. Classroom teachers stated that disaster preparedness drills were meaningful activities for students because they needed to be trained not to panic during disasters.
