Abstract

Implementation of the value of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) should be introduced as early as possible, one of way, through developing a Green School program. It is hope that students have sustainability values so that they are able to maintain the preservation of nature, social and cultural environment. The objective of this study was to find out how the value of ESD was implemented in SMPN Bayah 1. This study used a qualitative approach that was supported by quantitative data. Data was collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and questionnaires. Participants included all members of SMPN 1 Bayah, and was sampled using a stratified proportional random sampling. The results show that living skills, learning skills, and thinking skills play a significant role in developing ESD as part of the Green School program. Implementation of ESD-based curriculum and the development of national culture and character education are not included as the subject but integrated into subjects matter, self-development and school culture. Schools and teachers integrate the developed values into the curriculum, syllabus and lesson plans.
