that reflect school and parents need based on the school curriculum.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
a. Observation
Students of Science Education Class have done observation in primary of SDK Sengkan
and SDK Kalasan to identify environmental prob
lems, identify students and parents‟ understanding related to environmental care.
In SDK Sengkan they recognized that the school has been trying to rise up and maintain
environmental awareness of students through many activities that would be routine activities
and habit of all school members. This included personal cleanness, such as hand wash before
and after eating, wearing clean clothes, and hair tidy up; and environmental cleanness such
as putting garbage in the right place, class room cleaning, and keeping clean the toilet
after using it. This activities have been enhanced through “Clean Friday” i.e. a school
mobilization that is carried out every 2 week, every school member has an obligation to
reminisce each other about environmental cleanness.
Nevertheless, many
school members aware that the progress was too
slow. Most of students still throw garbage anywhere, lack of self maintenance and lack of
environmental awareness; front yard was relatively tidy and clean but backyard was
dirty and untidy including unmanaged fish ponds. There were herbal and vegetable
gardens but the plants seemed to be not so fresh due to lack of water, no one taking care
of the gardens. Parents at home also noticed than their children were not so much care
about plants and environmental cleanness. In SDK Kalasan they found that actually the
school already got award of
Sekolah Adiwiyata Mandiri
in 2010. This indicated that the school had capabilities to maintain environmental
programs for 3 years continuously. They saw many
supporting facilities
for student
environmental awareness movement even though the results were not as good as
expected. This could be seen that many students still threw garbage everywhere
particularly plastic wastes, and used water too much. School back yard was not managed
properly.
