3r based project based learning ecological awareness early childhoodAbstract
This study was motivated by low ecological awareness among early childhood and the absence of structured learning models addressing environmental issues in PAUD institutions. The study aimed to develop a 3R-based (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Project Based Learning model that is valid, practical, and effective in stimulating ecological awareness in children aged 5–6 years, using Research and Development adapting the ADDIE model. A small-scale trial involved 13 children and a field trial involved 34 children in Ogan Ilir Regency. Data were collected through needs analysis questionnaires, expert validation sheets, a 22-item observation instrument measuring children's ecological awareness across knowledge, attitudes, and 3R behavior dimensions, and a teacher practicality questionnaire; analyzed using Aiken's V, Mi+SDi, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and N-Gain. The model was rated highly feasible by media experts (score 82) and feasible by material experts (score 74.33), with instrument validity V = 0.92. The model proved effective (N-Gain 0.47 and 0.46, Wilcoxon p < 0.05) and highly practical (544/600), with notable improvements in children's ability to reduce waste usage, sort waste by type, and creatively reuse materials into functional items. This model is recommended as a structured and practical guide for teachers implementing 3R-based environmental learning in early childhood education.
