Abstract

Environmental sustainability is a sensitive issue lately due to increased global warming, erratic weather, disturbed ecosystems, the emergence of diseases, and so on. Garbage, the beginning of environmental damage in the air, water, and soil. All alternative pathways to protect the environment will be in vain if it is not balanced with an attitude of caring for the environment. The aim is to provide education and information about the importance of environmental sustainability to young children. The research method is a literature review of research journal articles related to the application of environmental education from an early age. In the research, it is known that in general the productive age that plays a role in environmental problems range from 15-64 years. The introduction and character education of caring for the environment is an effort to help children to always care about the environment and protect nature. The character of caring for the environment needs to be instilled from an early age in order to be able to love the environment. Good behavior starts from simple activities since I was a child, because at this time the brain can quickly absorb all the information obtained. When in previous studies environmental character education is integrated with each subject through competency standards, active learning, and school culture. This study focuses on environmental sustainability character education in early childhood.

Abstract

This research focuses on discussing the learning and understanding of the concepts of science in inclusive students at one of the State Junior High Schools in Malang with questionnaire methods, interviews, and documentation. The subjects used in this research were 2 source teachers, 2 special companion teachers (GPK), 25 regular students from class VIIIB, and 14 students with special needs. The learning system, especially with the topic of global warming in the inclusive school, is not yet fully optimal because the learning process is dominated by teachers using the lecture method. The level of understanding of the concept of regular students falls into the good category up to the cognitive domain C4. Meanwhile, the average student with special needs is better able to understand the concept by giving examples in the cognitive domain of C2. The low level of understanding of students' concepts, especially students with special needs, is due to the learning system which is more dominated by teachers in the classroom, the unavailability of learning media for students with special needs in understanding each concept and the number of special companion teachers (GPK) for students who need them which is still limited.

Abstract

The development and use of diagnostic tests in the form of multiple choice four levels in biology learning are still lacking. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable four-tier multiple-choice test instrument to identify the conception profile of high school students on the concept of transport across membranes. The research method is in the form of development research by adapting the Kilic and Saglam models which consist of three stages, namely defining content, obtaining information on student misunderstandings, and developing tests. The research instruments used were validation sheets, test instruments, and interview sheets. Descriptive statistical analysis techniques were used to analyze the data in this study. The results showed that 15 items developed were declared valid and the reliability coefficient of the test was 0.82, including the very reliable category. Thus, it can be concluded that the four-tier multiple-choice test instrument developed has met the validity and reliability requirements to identify the conception profile of high school students about the concept of transport across membranes. The four-tier multiple-choice test developed can be used by high school teachers as an accurate test to identify the conception profile of their students because it can distinguish between students who understand the concept, do not understand the concept, or who experience misconceptions about the concept of transport across membranes.
