Development Of A Green Education-Based Horticulture Learning Model To Improve Students' Environmental Awareness

This study aims to develop a green education-based horticulture learning model to increase environmental awareness of students is the Biology Education Study Program at STKIP Arrahmaniyah Depok. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method through the stages of development, expert validation, and learning trials. Data were obtained through expert validation, learning outcome tests, student participation observations, and environmental awareness measurements. The results showed that the developed learning model was effective in increasing students' environmental awareness. The level of environmental awareness increased from 55.6 to 77.8 after the implementation of the learning model. The average value of student learning outcomes also increased from 73.33 in the pretest to 80.00 in the posttest. The results of the material expert validation obtained a percentage of 82% with a good category, while the validation of the learning model expert obtained a percentage of 92% with a very good category, so the model was declared suitable for use. The effectiveness of the model was also seen from the increase in the average score of students in Trial I of 60.55 to 89.92 in Trial II. The gain index analysis of 0.73 is included in the high category. In addition, active student participation increased from 71 to 77 during the learning process.
