KOMUNITAS: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN SOCIETY AND CULTURE, 2016

This article discusses the development of environmental education model based on local wisdom. The study is motivated by the existing conditions in secondary schools, where environmental education merely focuses on students’ cognitive level and does not touch affective and psychomotor aspects. Students only understand the concept of climate changes, but they do not change their daily behavior in solving it. This study was conducted using mixed approach to analyze the need. It was continued with the development of educational models. This model tried to integrate the environmental education with the existing subjects at school. Therefore, the result can be applied in accordance with the local content. Several experts have reviewed the model and it is further tested in schools to be the pilot project.

Concern for the environment is one of the character values needed in protecting and preserving the universe. Seeing the current phenomenon of environmental damage, it is evident that human awareness in protecting the existence of the environment needs to be grown and increased. Forests are damaged due to human needs for housing, industry, factories closer to the area. These factors should be the focus of our thinking about the environment, ecosystem, habitat. Another factor is that all stakeholders have not implemented environmental laws. Efforts to overcome this include ecological education, increasing awareness of the meaning of the environment for humans, adding public green spaces, greening, waste banks, dumping garbage somewhere, recycling waste into materials that are beneficial to humans. All these efforts will be meaningless if they are not supported by government policies in the form of funds, political will, and a legal umbrella that is assisted by legal certainty and law enforcement and justice. This study tries to find information about improving character education for environmental care for high-level students and lecturers. Strengthening character education is the key to maintaining the existence of the Indonesian nation and state. One of them is strengthening environmental character education. Environmental awareness as a reinforcement of character education needs to be improved to create a healthy and comfortable living environment.

This study investigated the relationship between students’ knowledge, attitude and practice of the environment and effective communication of environmental messages. For this purpose, a knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) survey was conducted, involving 895 students from 16 higher learning institutions in Malaysia. The findings revealed that students in general, have a good level of environmental knowledge. However, knowledge does not necessarily lead to practice. There was a weak relationship between students’ level of knowledge and sustainable environment practices. Similarly, there was a weak relationship between students’ attitude and sustainable environment practices. Hence, attitude is not a good predictor for sustainable environment practices. These findings highlight the complexity of the relationship between students’ knowledge, attitude and sustainable environment practice. The findings of this study also suggested that, the internet is regarded as students preferred choice of media which can be utilised to disseminate environmental information. It is important, however, not to disregard the roles of more traditional media such as television and newspapers, as they can also be effectively used to deliver environmental information. Besides media, educational institutions and family also have crucial roles to disseminate environmental information and encourage good practice. Since many of the earlier studies of this nature have been conducted in at other places, particularly in the first world countries, this study is expected to contribute to the knowledge based on Malaysia’s own experience as a developing nation that aspire to champion sustainable environment.
