The best practice of ecoliteracy based on social culture

Abstract

This study aims to obtain an in-depth description of the best practice of eco-literacy based on social culture. The data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interview, field note, and documentation. The subjects of this study were the principal, teachers, and students of kindergarten. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis with case study techniques. The results show that ecoliteracy learning is integrated with culture and religion. It was adapted to the motto of Firdaus Percikan Iman (FPI) Kindergarten, namely the Qur’an generation, intelligent, loving the environment and culture. Ecoliteracy is learning through an artificial environment by teaching culture to children. The artificial environment has a building concept by presenting buildings that use natural materials. Each of these buildings is full of cultural values and maintains natural ecosystems. To introduce culture to the students, various activities such as introducing traditional foods, playing Mang Depot, dancing traditional dances, playing traditional games, and singing regional songs were delivered.
