Judul: Persepsi guru dalam penerapan pendidikan lingkungan hidup di sekolah dasar sekitar hutan kawasan Gunung Salak Endah Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: This research aimed at identifying teacher’s perception of the environment, teacher’s perception of Environmental Education (EE) implementation, and the influencing factors. Data were collected through structured questionnaire, guided interview, field observation, as well as archives and secondary documents. Factor analysis, Spearman correlation, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney test were used to analyse the data. The results showed that, first, according to the result of the Draw-An-Environment-Test (DAET), teachers from forest margin area have limited environmental perception due to lack of capacity in expressing their thoughts in drawings and writings. However, since writing and drawing are not yet internalized as an important behavior in education, the DAET instrument should be critically improved or revised to make it fits for developing countries such as Indonesia. Second, according to the result of Factor Analysis, the perception of teachers toward EE is constructed from three major factors, i.e. the EE teaching effectiveness, its benefits, and outcome expectancy. The first factor – the EE teaching effectiveness – is formed by four variables i.e. perceived competence, self-efficacy, pressure/tension and perceived choice. Further analysis shows that the teacher often views him or herself as having low competence and self-efficacy due to the EE course experience and his/her educational level. The second factor resulted from Factor Analysis – the EE benefits – is formed by three variables, i.e. interest/enjoyment, efforts, and usefulness of the EE course. The EE benefits itself, according to Kruskal-Wallis test, are determine by EE training course received, level of grade taught and the nature-based organizational experienced by the teachers. Third, in order to reach effective EE teaching, the capacity, motivation, perceived competence and self-efficacy of the teachers should be strengthen. This includes but not limited to the mastery of environment-related subjects particularly forest conservation topics, strengthen skills for outdoor teaching and increased compassion on the environmental issues and/or forest related problems.

Judul: Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Perilaku Konservasi Hutan pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar di Sekitar Hutan Kawasan Gunung Salak Endah, Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak
Abstrak: Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (GHSNP) is a conservation area that is experiencing conflict with people who lived around the Park in the area of Gunung Salak Endah (GSE). Conflicts had arisen because the people did not have awareness and knowledge of the importance of national parks for their livelihood. Knowledge, positive attitude and behavior towards the forest should be instilled in the community to resolve conflict and prevent further problems. Elementary school students, as young generation that will preserve the forest in the future, had great potential for the development of knowledge, positive attitude and behavior about forest conservation. When students were taught about forest conservation and encouraged to apply positive behavior toward forest, then the students would likely participate actively in forest conservation efforts. The purpose of this research was to identify the characteristics of sample schools; to measure students’ knowledge, attitude, and behavior in relation to forest conservation , and; to evaluate forest conservation education for elementary school students in the area of GSE, GHSNP. Four sample schools, namely SDN Gunung Bunder 03, SDN Gunung Bunder 04, SDN Gunung Picung 06 and SDN Gunung Sari 01, were selected using purposive sampling method based on criteria of proximity to the forest. Data were collected through direct observation, the distribution of questionnaires to students through questionnaires and structured interviews with teachers and principals through structured interviews with an interview guide. Students’ respondents were selected from the 5th grade students who had obtained forest conservation subjects in grade 4. The number of respondents was determined using a Slovin formula. Closed-form questions and statements were used in the questionnaire to measure students’ knowledge, attitude and behavior. Knowledge was measured using Thurstone scale, while attitude and behavior using Likert scale. In general, students from all four sample schools had average score of 10 – 20 on knowledge, 14 – 16 on attitude, and 9 – 11 on behavior. SDN Gunung Sari 01 had the largest percentage of respondents who obtained score in high category both for knowledge (46.2%) and attitude (30.8%), however the largest percentage of good behavior category was obtained by SDN Gunung Bunder 03 (41.2%). Respondents from SDN Gunung Sari 01 had also obtained the highest mean score of knowledge, attitude and behavior, but the mean score of behavior was only 0.1 point above the mean score of respondents from SDN Gunung Bunder 03. Better learning process occurred in SDN Gunung Sari 01 was assumed to have produce students with better achievement than the other sample schools. There were more subjects related to forest conservation taught in the school, supported by better infrastructure, more varying media, and more time allocation on lecture and practice. However, the students of SDN Gunung Bunder 03 had the advantage from the extracurricular activities that encouraged the students to familiarize 6 themselves to forest conservation related activities, which stimulated positive behavior. Therefore, learning about forest conservation should not only be given through curricular learning, but also supported by non-curricular learning, which provided students with opportunities to habituate themselves to the related learning subjects, so that students with

Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg.
