Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship between understanding the concept of the environment and the character of caring for the environment for students of the Biology Education S1 study program. This type of research is descriptive quantitative. The research was conducted online via google Forms on biology education students who have passed environmental courses. The results showed that the correlation value between the understanding of environmental concepts and the student's environmental care character (r) was 0.601, and the coefficient of determination (r2) was 0.3612, so it can be stated that there is a positive and significant relationship. In conclusion, there is a meaningful positive relationship between understanding the concept of the environment and the value of caring for the environment in students of the Bachelor of Biology Study Program. The contribution of environmental understanding to the character of caring for the environment is 36.12%, and the remaining 63.88% is outside the understanding of environmental concepts.
Highlights
Environmental knowledge is one of the compulsory subjects in the Biology Education Study Program, which studies the relationship between living things and their environment, the classification of the environment is divided into two categories, namely the biotic and abiotic environment [1]
Humans need to be equipped with good environmental knowledge to maintain and preserve their habitat
Understanding the concept of the environment and the character of environmental care for students can be seen through the profile of student character education depicted in table 1 and table 2
Summary
Environmental knowledge is one of the compulsory subjects in the Biology Education Study Program, which studies the relationship between living things and their environment, the classification of the environment is divided into two categories, namely the biotic and abiotic environment [1]. The abiotic component includes all inanimate objects on the earth's surface. Examples of the biotic environment include soil, water, air, humidity, acidity (pH), and sunlight. The biotic component contains all living things such as flora, fauna, and humans [2]. The environment is where all human activities will impact the environment, namely environmental changes. Realizing that humans are part of the environment, humans need to have good ethics to live with their environment. Humans need to be equipped with good environmental knowledge to maintain and preserve their habitat. Humans can improve the quality of positive attitudes and behavior towards the environment through ecological science
