ENVIRONMENTAL LITERACY ATTITUDE: AN EXPLORATION OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TO FORMULATE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION STRATEGIES
Abstract
Increasing the environmental literacy attitude of elementary school students is needed as an effort to maintain the environmental sustainability. Analysis of the level of environmental literacy attitudes of students is needed to formulate operational environmental education strategies in schools. This survey research aims to explore the level of environmental literacy of SD Negeri 2 Dangin Puri students. A total of 197 students in grades IV, V, and VI became the sample of this study, consisting of 100 males and 97 females. Data collection is done online using Google Forms. The data collected was then analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Descriptive analysis aims to determine the percentage of students' environmental literacy attitudes. Meanwhile, inferential analysis was used to determine differences in the level of students' environmental literacy attitudes between grade levels and gender. The results showed that most of the students at SD Negeri 2 Dangin Puri (73.61%) had good and very good environmental literacy attitudes. The remaining 26.39% have average and poor environmental literacy attitudes. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the level of environmental literacy attitudes between grade and gender. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that SD Negeri 2 Dangin Puri still has challenges to improve students' environmental literacy attitudes. Strategies to improve students' environmental literacy attitudes can be carried out using policy, curricular, and extracurricular approaches. Further research is needed to formulate operational steps for implementing these approaches in an effort to improve the environmental literacy attitudes of SD Negeri 2 Dangin Puri students.
