Abstract
The rapid development of the industrial revolution 4.0 led to the emerging of the Society 5.0 paradigm, which forced humans to be able to adapt and move faster in an effort to protect the world from the impacts of the development. Education for sustainability development (ESD) is a solution that the world of education relies on, one of which aims to build eco-literacy. Research with survey method has been conducted to determine the students^ eco-literacy in elementary education. A total of 100 elementary school students in higher level were used as the target of a survey conducted by filling out a questionnaire sent via google form. The results showed that more than 80% of students had a good perception of eco-literacy, such as the importance of healthy living by saving electricity, saving water, and environmental-friendly behaviour. However, based on interviews with 20% of students who filled out the questionnaire, it turned out that 91% of students stated that their perception of environmentally friendly living was more due to instructions from parents for economic reasons, and not because of habits formed from the education processes. Therefore, the teachers (20 respondents of science teachers) suggested the development of an appropriate curriculum to train students^ eco-literacy. All teachers agreed that the curriculum components consisted of material in the fields of science including biodiversity and ecosystems, climate change, disaster mitigation, health and water. Lesson plans should give priority to practicum activities, environmental surveys, and student discussions. Skills trained should include practicing critical thinking, collaboration skills, communication skills and argumentation skills.
