Abstract

This study aims to produce a learning design based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). In this ESD-based learning design, the researcher chooses material about environmental pollution in science subjects in grade VII. There are 3 stages of learning, at the first meeting, students observe, identify several issues of environmental pollution, and analyze what are the solutions to overcome this environmental pollution, which then students create a project from one of these solutions. At the second meeting, students explained the progress of the project made, and at the end of the session, students take a written test in the form of 10 multiple choice questions to test their knowledge of environmental pollution. At the third meeting, students presented the project they had made as a solution to environmental pollution. Researchers designed ESD-based learning with a Project Based Learning (PjBL) model and a scientific approach that is expected to achieve several goals in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including quality education, clean water and proper sanitation, marine ecosystems, and terrestrial ecosystems. This research produces learning tools, namely 1 Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) and 1 Student Worksheet (LKPD) based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics) which consists of 3 core activities, namely Engage, in the form of problem identification. Explore, is a brainstorming activity to find solutions in the form of projects in overcoming environmental pollution and designing projects. Evaluate, in the form of identifying students processes in finding solutions, problems that hinder in making projects, and how to overcome them.
