The Effectiveness of Multiliteration Learning Models in Increasing Ecological Literacy of Primary School Students

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of multiliteration learning models on the ecological literacy abilities of elementary school students and discovers how students describe their experiences in such learning. This research uses explanatory sequential design which is part of the mix method. The use of explanatory sequential design allows the collection of quantitative and qualitative data that serve as corroborating evidence to answer two research questions: how are students’ ecological literacy skills between students who learn to use multiliteration learning models and students who learn to use traditional models? How can the experience gained by students learning with multiliteration models be useful to improve their ecological literacy skills? Quantitative results indicate that the use of multiliteration learning models has a significant effect on increasing the ecological literacy abilities of elementary school students. Then the qualitative findings from this study are students are of the view that the learning experience experienced can strengthen and enhance their knowledge making it easier for them to solve problems faced, students find it easy to find information because learning allows them to access information from various sources both print and electronic media, and learning experiences using multiliteration models help students realize that humans must protect nature / the environment well.
