Kegiatan "Aksi Lingkungan: Praktek Membuat Ecobrick di Sekolah Dasar" adalah inisiatif edukatif yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan kesadaran lingkungan di kalangan siswa Sekolah Dasar, khususnya kelas 2. Melalui kegiatan ini, siswa diperkenalkan pada konsep ecobrick sebagai solusi inovatif dalam pengelolaan sampah plastik. Kegiatan ini melibatkan 26 siswa, yang tidak hanya mempelajari teori, tetapi juga mendapatkan pengalaman langsung dalam membuat ecobrick dari sampah plastik yang mereka kumpulkan. Proses ini mencakup pengenalan konsep, demonstrasi pembuatan, dan sesi praktek kelompok. Selain itu, terdapat 2 guru pendamping yang berperan aktif dalam membimbing siswa selama proses pembuatan, serta memastikan setiap siswa memahami dan menguasai teknik yang diajarkan. Tujuan utama kegiatan ini adalah membekali siswa dengan keterampilan praktis dalam mendaur ulang plastik, meningkatkan pemahaman mereka tentang dampak negatif sampah plastik, serta mendorong sikap proaktif dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan. Setelah sesi edukasi dan praktek pembuatan ecobrick, hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan yang sangat mencolok, yaitu sekitar 85% siswa dapat menjawab dengan benar tentang langkah-langkah pembuatan ecobrick dan 90% memahami manfaat ecobrick bagi lingkungan. Peningkatan ini tidak hanya mencerminkan pemahaman yang lebih baik terhadap materi yang diajarkan, tetapi juga menunjukkan efektivitas metode pembelajaran yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini.
Environmental Action: Ecobrick Making Practice in Elementary School
Abstract
The "Environmental Action: Ecobrick Making Practice in Elementary School" activity is an educational initiative designed to raise environmental awareness among elementary school students, especially grade 2. Through this activity, students are introduced to the concept of ecobricks as an innovative solution in managing plastic waste. This activity involves 26 students, who not only learn the theory, but also gain hands-on experience in making ecobricks from the plastic waste they collect. This process includes an introduction to the concept, a demonstration of making, and a group practice session. In addition, there are 2 accompanying teachers who play an active role in guiding students during the making process, as well as ensuring that each student understands and masters the techniques taught. The main objectives of this activity are to equip students with practical skills in recycling plastic, increase their understanding of the negative impacts of plastic waste, and encourage a proactive attitude in maintaining environmental cleanliness. After the educational session and practice of making ecobricks, the post-test results showed a very striking increase, namely around 85% of students were able to answer correctly about the steps for making ecobricks and 90% understood the benefits of ecobricks for the environment. This improvement not only reflects a better understanding of the material taught, but also shows the effectiveness of the learning methods applied in this activity.
