Abstrak Penelitian survei dengan metode kuantitatif deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakter peduli lingkungan siswa SMP ditinjau dari tingkatan kelas dan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara gender dan tingkatan kelas terhadap karakter peduli lingkungan siswa SMP. Siswa pada tingkatan kelas VII dan IX menunjukkan karakter peduli lingkungan yang lebih baik dibandingkan kelas VIII berdasarkan dari kategori penilaian pada instrumen New Ecological Paradigm. Untuk kategori Sangat Baik kelas VII dan IX lebih tinggi (22.22% dan 27.27%) sedangkan kategori Tidak Baik, kelas VII dan IX lebih rendah dari kelas VIII (5.56%, 9.09%, 9.52%). Hubungan gender dan tingkatan kelas dengan uji Pearson diperoleh satu hasil korelasi yang signifikan yaitu antara perempuan kelas VIII dengan perempuan kelas IX (r =0.798; Sig.0.017 < 0.05). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian disimpulkan tingkatan kelas lebih berhubungan dengan karakter peduli lingkungan siswa daripada faktor gender, ditunjukkan dari aktivitas siswa yang tidak memandang gender dalam menjaga keasrian lingkungan sekolahnya. Kata kunci: karakter peduli lingkungan, New Ecological Paradigm, tingkatan kelas, gender   ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN TERMS OF GRADE AND GENDER  Abstract This survey research by quantitative descriptive method was conducted with purpose to find out the environmental awareness of junior high school students in terms of grade and also to find out the correlation between gender and grade for students attitude towards environments. The analysis and interpretation data of New Echogical Paradigm instrument found that the students on 7th and 9th grade represent the best attitude towards environments more than 8th grade. For Very Good category 7th and 9th grade have higher percentage (22.22% and 27.27%), while Not Good category, 7th and 9th grade are lower than 8th grade (5.56%, 9.09%, 9.52%). The correlation between grade and gender tested by Pearson test proved that it has significant correlation between female students on 8th and 9th grade (r =0.798; Sig.0.017 < 0.05). Based on result, we can concluded that the grade level is more related than gender for students’ environmental awareness, showed by students maintaining school sanitation activity.

Practical Implications

Purpose Environmental awareness became a crucial agenda for both academicians and practitioners. Effect of the individual’s value, belief and norm on their environmentally significant behaviour is vital on subsequent purchase decision of the consumers. Considering this, the present study aims to examine the relationships among value orientations, New Ecological Paradigm (NEP), and pro-environmental personal norm. Moreover, this research intends to investigate the mediating role of New Ecological Paradigm between value orientations and pro-environmental personal norm. Design/methodology/approach This study has utilized questionnaire survey among 277 paddy farmers at the Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) area in Malaysia. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares technique in order to test study hypotheses. Partial Least Square technique was utilized to analyze the data to test the study hypotheses. Findings Results reveal that biospheric value, altruistic value and egoistic value positively and significantly affect NEP. It is also found that NEP positively and significantly affect pro-environmental personal norm. Data also supports the links between altruistic value and pro-environmental personal norm (PPN). However, the relationship between other two value-orientations (biospheric value and egoistic value) and PPN is not supported by the data. Additionally, NEP mediates the relationship between biospheric value and PPN as well as between egoistic value and PPN. Contrary to this, NEP does not mediate the relationship between altruistic value and PPN. Practical implications The findings of this study will guide the agrochemical industry to understand how to enhance consumers’ behavioural aspect towards the environmental welfare. As handling of agrochemical is hazardous to health and environment, the knowledge on the effect of value orientation, belief and norm holds the key to inculcate good agricultural practice. Originality/value The present study is among the pioneers to consider NEP as the mediator between three types of value orientation and personal norm. Additionally, this study examined the relationship between NEP and PPN as well as between value orientations and PPN which are comparatively new to the existing body of literature. Nevertheless, this study considers NEP as a multidimensional constructs which is relatively new. Last, but not the least, the findings elaborate the existing knowledge of individual’s environmental concern in the context of agrochemical purchase.

The Relationship

Acquiring a better understanding of what drives pro-environmental and sustainable behaviour is important for both researchers and practitioners alike. The purpose of this paper is to explore the moderating role of locus of control and self-construal on the relationship between pro-environmental beliefs and pro-environmental consumer behaviour. We explicitly model the endorsement of the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) as a predictor of three specific types of environmental behaviour—travel, purchasing and day to day activities. The results show a positive and significant association between the endorsement of NEP and a person’s pro-environmental traveling behaviour, purchasing behaviour and day to day activities. Moreover, we find that the effects are moderated by a person’s locus of control, specifically, it remains positive and significant only for people with an internal locus of control. However, we found no moderating effect of a person’s self-construal on the association between NEP and pro-environmental behaviour. The findings are important in the continuing work to understand what is limiting consumers to behave according to their beliefs. Practical and theoretical implications of the results as well as suggestions for future research are presented.

The Relationship

AbstractThe New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale has been extensively used to measure adults’ environmental attitudes. However, it has only recently been adapted for use with children. This paper presents a Spanish version of the NEP Scale for Children, examines children’s ecological beliefs according to socio-demographic variables as well as the relationship between children’s ecological beliefs and pro-environmental behavior. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted, followed by confirmatory factor analysis. In addition, the instrument’s internal consistency was studied and links between environmental attitudes, age, and ecological behavior in children were examined through correlation analyses. The results show that children’s ecological worldviews can be described by a dimension called “overall ecocentrism”. Analysis of variance demonstrated that children from rural areas exhibit a more ecocentric worldview than those from urban areas. The results also denote gender differences.

EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (EfSD): KESENJANGAN INDIKATOR UNTUK PENCAPAIAN LITERASI LINGKUNGAN DALAM KURIKULUM SEKOLAH MENENGAH PERTAMAAbstractEnvironmental education is one way to empower the environment where literacy can support sustainable development programs known as Education for Sustainable Development (EfSD). This study aimed to analyze the environmental literacy indicators in the curriculum of middle schools. The lesson plan in the middle school became the main subject for document analysis. This research is evaluation research. The data were collected with non-test techniques in the form of interviews and documentation. Qualitative analysis in the form of a matrix became the instrument used to analyze the gap of the indicators of the ideal knowledge and those of the aktual knowledge. The results indicated that out of 20 aktual indicators, there were 10 irrelevant indicators with the ideal indicators according to the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) and the ecological concept according to Lewinsohn. The gap between indicators of achieving environmental literacy can be overcome by substituting the overall ecological concept in the lesson plan for the environment-related material. The existence of a strong ecological concept is expected to be the initial provision for students to empower environmental literacy.AbstrakPendidikan lingkungan menjadi salah satu cara untuk memberdayakan literasi lingkungan sehingga dapat mendukung program pembangunan berkelanjutan atau dikenal sebagai Education for Sustainable Development (EfSD). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesenjangan indikator pencapaian literasi lingkungan dalam kurikulum sekolah menengah pertama (SMP). Rencana perangkat pembelajaran di SMP menjadi subjek utama dokumen yang dianalisis. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian evaluasi (evaluation research). Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik non-tes berupa wawancara dan dokumentasi. Analisis kualitatif dalam bentuk matriks menjadi alat yang digunakan dalam menganalisis kesenjangan indikator pengetahuan ideal dengan indikator aktual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 20 indikator aktual terdapat 10 indikator yang tidak relevan dengan indikator ideal menurut New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) dan konsep ekologi menurut Lewinsohn. Kesenjangan antara indikator pencapaian literasi lingkungan dapat diatasi dengan mensubstitusi konsep ekologi secara utuh kedalam rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran untuk materi yang berhubungan dengan lingkungan. Adanya konsep ekologi yang kuat diharapkan dapat menjadi bekal sejak dini bagi siswa untuk memberdayakan literasi lingkungan.
