Abstract

The impacts of environmental damage, such as floods, should be introduced to students in the school teaching and learning. The study aims to: Find out the factors causing floods in Bandung and analyse the teaching and learning models in understanding the impact of environmental damage. To raise awareness and understanding of the learning process is done by bringing students to the flood scene location with Pre-Experimental Designs learning model. The media used to use video, images and textbook about the flood. This stage is carried out pre-test to the student. This phase is compared with the flood of students to the scene and given an explanation and asked to interview the student communities affected by flooding. After the interviews were conducted Post-test group. It employed the Pre-experimental design model with a sample of 88 students who were divided into 11 groups. The techniques of analysis conducted by providing pre-test and post-test on Students to determine comprehension and students conduct interviews with affected communities.

With this model is expected that students can know, understand, and become skilled in revealing evidences from the field regarding how floods occur, the causing factors and its impacts. In the pre-test conducted on students showed mixed results with an average value of 4.94, while the Post-test with an average value of 7:37. The result of the application of the Pre-Experiment design illustrates that students are given learning material and taken to the scene of flooding showed an increase understanding, awareness. This is due to the emotions students affected because of the stories and interviews with people affected by floods. Applied learning models to increase understanding and awareness of environmental destruction can also develop a concern for environmental sustainability. In addition, the study would like to find the stages in the teaching and learning process and how students are engaged emotionally in the process of gaining the knowledge, understanding, and skills. A learning model that engages students emotionally is believed to be able to develop their logic.
