ABSTRACT

This research aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Service Eco Learning (PBSEcoL) model on disaster awareness and environmental concern attitudes. The research design is a quasi-experiment. The research subjects were students of the Department of Geography and Faculty of Social Sciences in the State University of Malang. The sample was taken from class A and class B with homogenous features in the Environmental Geography course. The data was collected using an attitude questionnaire and then analyzed by comparing the questionnaire gain score of the control and experimental groups. The result showed that the PBSEcoL model had an effect on students’ environmental concern attitudes with an average value in the experimental group of 86.53, while the control group was 75.94. The research is expected to provide information about the application and benefits of the PBSEcoL model in learning geography for students.
