Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the thematic learning model with SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) vision on the understanding of disaster material in elementary school students. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design. The sample was obtained using a purposive sampling technique, namely four elementary schools prone to earthquake disasters in the Bantul Regency area of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two schools (SD Piyungan and SD Tulung) as the experimental group and two schools (SD Karanggayam and SD Segoroyoso) as the control group. Based on the results of the t-test, post-test data obtained a t-value of 5.781> t table of 1.998, which means that there are differences in understanding students' disasters between the experimental group and the control group. The results of the calculation of the gain score indicate that the experimental group had an increased score at a high level (g> 70) while the control group increased at a moderate level (0.3 ≤g≤ 0.7). This study concludes that the application of the thematic learning model with the SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) vision has a practical effect on improving the understanding of disaster material for elementary school students.
Highlights
Natural conditions in the last ten years continue to decline
The complexity of demographic, social, and economic conditions in Indonesia contributes to the SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) Vision Thematic Learning Model in Improving Disaster Material Understanding of Elementary School Students high level of community vulnerability to the threat of disasters and the lack of community capacity to handle disasters, resulting in a high risk of disasters in Indonesia
Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the implementation of the thematic SETS vision affects improving the understanding of disaster material for elementary school students
Summary
Natural conditions in the last ten years continue to decline. The decline in natural conditions is caused by two factors, namely factors originating from humans and factors originating from the universe itself. Application of plate tectonic theory to the Indonesian archipelago explains that an Indonesian archipelago is a place of collision with the crust of the earth. The area of Yogyakarta and its surroundings is an area with a relatively high level of seismic activity in Indonesia. This condition is caused by the area adjacent to the plate collision zone in the Indonesian Ocean. Besides being very prone to earthquakes due to tectonic plate collision activity, the Yogyakarta area is prone to earthquakes due to local fault activities on land Such tectonic conditions make the area of Yogyakarta and its surroundings an active and involved seismic area
