PENERAPAN MEDIA POSTER UNTUK MENINGKATKAN SIKAP PEDULI LINGKUNGAN PADA SISWA KELAS II SDN 36/VI RANTAU PANJANG

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the implementation of poster media in learning and to determine the improvement of environmental care attitudes among second-grade students at SDN 36/VI Rantau Panjang. The study employed Classroom Action Research using the Kemmis and McTaggart model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 23 students. Data were collected through teacher and student activity observations, an environmental care attitude questionnaire, interviews, documentation, and field notes. The questionnaire consisted of 19 statements covering six indicators: environmental care, reducing plastic use, waste management according to type, reducing carbon emissions, energy conservation, and efforts to repair environmental damage. The results presented in the thesis indicate that initially 15 of 23 students had not demonstrated adequate classroom-cleanliness habits. In Cycle I, 18 students (78.26%) reached the Good and Very Good categories, with an average questionnaire percentage of 69.74%. In Cycle II, this increased to 21 students (91.30%), with an average questionnaire percentage of 84.50%. Teacher activity increased from 78.57% to 94.64%, while student activity increased from 68.75% to 93.75%. The largest indicator improvement was waste management according to type, increasing from 68.12% in Cycle I to 89.86% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that poster media combined with explanations, concrete examples, discussion, practice, reinforcement, and habituation can support the development of students' environmental care attitudes.
