Cultivating Students' Self-Regulation Towards The Environment Through The Integration Of The Tri Hita Karana Concept In Energy Transformation Learning

Abstract

This qualitative research aims to conduct a literature review and investigate the impact of integrating the Tri Hita Karana concept into fourth-grade elementary science lessons on the material of energy transformation, specifically on cultivating students' self-regulation towards the environment. The focus is on the three elements of Parhyangan, Pawongan, and Palemahan, with the primary outcome being students' critical self-regulation awareness of their surroundings. Self-regulation, as one of the indicators of Facione’s critical thinking theory, is implied by students' actions towards the environment. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed, with data sourced from interviews, observations, and literature from scientifically credible research findings. The outcomes of our field research and literature survey indicate a positive impact on the cultivation of self-regulation in students, fostering awareness of environmental conservation through energy-saving habits.
