Effects of mechanical wave learning material by integrating CTL strategy on environmental literacy of grade XI students

Abstract

Abstract Learning in the 21st century should be connected to real world contexts. CTL strategy is one way to develop student skills. This is because learning process with a CTL strategy presents learning material that is related to the environment around students, in this way it can foster and improve students environmental literacy. In learning process, CTL strategy and environmental literacy can be integrated into learning material. However, the conditions found in the application of CTL strategy and environmental literacy in schools were still lacking. The solution to this problem is to use mechanical wave learning material integrated with CTL strategy for the environmental literacy of grade XI students. This research was a quasi-experimental research with a before and after design for related sample groups. The research instrument consisted of a knowledge aspect learning outcome test and student environmental literacy assessment sheets. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the two means comparison test for related groups. The result of the data analysis is the use of mechanical wave learning material integrated with CTL strategy has a positive effect on the knowledge aspect and environmental literacy of grade XI students.
