Abstract

This study aimed at testing the effectiveness of geographic literacy based model of social studies learning in building eco-friendly character of the students at junior high school level in Bandung. The method used in this study was Quasi Experiment. Quasi experimental design is The Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population of the study was all students at junior high school level in Bandung while the Samples were defined through Cluster Random Sampling/Multiple Stage Area Sampling. The number of clusters used was 4 (54 Schools). The effectiveness test towards the model shows that the implementation of the geo-literacy based teaching model in building eco-friendly character or BLG-KPL Model gives a significant influence (effective) in building eco-friendly character. The effect size of the participation aspect of the model was 0.729 and that of the knowledge aspect was 0.622731 classified as moderate. It means that the model gives a relatively big influence to the building of eco-friendly character. However, the effect size of the attitude aspect was 1.045891 classified as high, which means that the model gives a big influence to the building of eco-friendly character. The significance of this study is important in order to give an alternative model in social studies learning that can be used as an effort in building student’s eco-friendly character while there were only a few models specified for building eco-friendly character. Furthermore, this study was also a supplementary study of the previous study on the importance of the efforts in building eco-friendly character in school subjects, particularly in social studies.
