Abstract
This study intends to analyze the influence of the research-based monograph book as a learning resource to improve pre-service teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards the environment. This study is a quasi-experimental study using the Nonequivalent Control Group design. The research sample is 67 pre-service biology teachers using Cluster Sampling. Data were collected using environmental literacy instruments and analyzed descriptively and using the ANCOVA test. The results of the ANCOVA test showed that there was a significant effect on the use of the monograph book on environmental literacy. Knowledge domain obtained 0.047, attitude domain 0.186, and behavioral field 0.986 This research concludes that using the monograph book in learning affects aspects of ecological and environmental knowledge. Nevertheless, it has not had a significant effect on parts of attitude and behavior.
Highlights
Environmental crises include greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, drought, rising temperatures on the earth’s surface, pollution in soil, water, and air. Such environmental problems result in various health problems, species extinction, food shortages, and climate change that threaten the survival of life on earth (Faize & Akhtar, 2020; Wassie, 2020)
One solution to address environmental issues is developing a society with environmental literacy and more responsible behavior towards the environment (Ozsoy et al, 2012)
The primary purpose of these conferences is to build a community with knowledge, awareness, positive behaviors, skills, and actions in preserving the environment
Summary
Environmental crises include greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, drought, rising temperatures on the earth’s surface, pollution in soil, water, and air. Such environmental problems result in various health problems, species extinction, food shortages, and climate change that threaten the survival of life on earth (Faize & Akhtar, 2020; Wassie, 2020). Arora et al (2018) state that various environmental problems that occur today, both on a global and national scale, are primarily derived from human behavior. The global community has made efforts to hold international conferences to discuss environmental issues, such as the Belgrade Conference, Tbilisi Conference, and the Earth Summit (Abd Rahman & Nasri, 2018).
