Management of an Environmental Education Program in Konawe Regency
Abstract
Classes are taught on the environment at Marga Karya Elementary School. Konawe Regency’s goal was to introduce students to the environment at a young age so that they can develop responsible environmental behavior. This study used a qualitative approach and found that schools have provided a conducive climate through the management of environmental education programs that are used to develop character and environmental care behavior in students. Environmental care behavior has been developed through a series of activities that were curriculum-planned, systematic and involved all school components, including environmental education program preparation, implementation and participation of the school community. The school’s approach can be used to encourage students to have a positive view of environmental management, and thereby want to create a clean, beautiful, healthy and comfortable environment, as well as contribute to future sustainable development.
Keywords: environmental education, environmental management, environmental care behavior
