The Effectivenessof Subject Specific Pedagogy Based on Problem-Based Learning to Empower Student’s Ecological Literacy

Abstract:This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Subject Specific Pedagogy (SSP) based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to empower the students' ecological literacy at Sebelas Maret University. This research was conducted on Biology Education Program of FKIP UNS. The research design used was posttest-only control design. The sample of the research is 6th semester student with the number of 46 as experiment class and 7th semester student with amount 57 as control class. The posttest value of ecological literacy for the experimental class was 80.77% while the control class was 68.14%. The result of posttest of ecological literacy questionnaire was analyzed using independent test of t-test. Result of t test is got sig value = 0,00 (<0,05) so there is difference of ecological literacy between experiment class and control class. This difference is influenced by students who have or are receiving an ecology course in the semester. Therefore, PBL-based SSP tools produce different ecological literacy values in biology education students.
