PROGRAM BIJAK LINGKUNGAN (BILING) BERBASIS PROJECT BASED LEARNING DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN ECOLITERACY ANAK-ANAK PADA KOMUNITAS LARE SINAU BANYUWANGI

Abstrak

The current problem is the low environmental awareness and ecoliteracy in
children. The low awareness of children about the importance of caring behavior
towards the environment is due to the absence of serious action from several parties
to minimize this problem. This study aims to describe the implementation of the
Environmental Wise Program (BILING) based on Project Learning to improve
children's eco-literacy skills in the Lare Sinau Banyuwangi Community. The
research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques
through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study
indicate that the BILING Program based on Project Learning is carried out
through six stages including big questions, project design, schedule preparation,
progress monitoring, outcome assessment, and experience evaluation. This
program effectively encourages children to think critically and actively with a
contextual and fun learning approach. The facilitator acts as a companion and
guide. Parental participation and the Participatory Rural Appraisal approach
increase children's sense of ownership and self-confidence. Children show
increased eco-literacy skills in environmental understanding, caring attitudes, and
sustainable practices. The BILING Program, which is based on project-based
Learning, has a positive impact through a holistic and participatory approach.
