Cultivating Environmental Culture in Islamic Elementary School: Menumbuhkan Budaya Lingkungan di Sekolah Dasar Islam
Get PDFBackground: Environmental awareness does not emerge spontaneously; it must be instilled early through sustainable education. Specific Background: In Indonesia, the Adiwiyata School Program is a national strategy to embed environmental values within education, yet its integration in Islamic-based schools remains underexplored. Knowledge Gap: Previous research mainly focused on public schools and technical practices without examining how policy models and religious values interact in private Islamic schools. Aim: This study analyzed the implementation of environmental education policy in SDIT Permata Mojokerto using Edward III’s model of policy implementation while considering social, economic, political, and religious contexts. Results: Findings revealed that effective communication, sufficient resources, positive teacher and student attitudes, and structured bureaucracy, supported by favorable socio-political conditions, fostered a sustainable environmental culture. Programs such as Waste Donation, Clean Friday, and thematic learning linked to Qur’anic verses strengthened the integration of Islamic values. Novelty: The research demonstrates how religious values can legitimize and reinforce environmental education policy, expanding theoretical discourse beyond secular frameworks. Implications: The study suggests that policy implementation in faith-based schools can serve as a model for contextualizing environmental education, ensuring sustainability while preserving religious identity.
Highlight

Get PDFBackground: Physiological adaptation during adolescence is influenced by lifestyle and environmental factors, particularly in urban and rural settings. Understanding cardiorespiratory responses to physical activity is crucial for assessing health reserves in young individuals. Aim of the Study: To evaluate physical development and the functional status of the cardiorespiratory system at rest and after physical load among first-year female medical college students from urban and rural areas. Methodology: The study included female students aged 15–16. Physical development was assessed using somatometry (height, weight, chest circumference) and physiometry methods (vital lung capacity [VC], tidal volume [TV], expiratory reserve volume [ERV], heart rate [HR], and blood pressure [SBP, DBP]). Percentile methods and spirometry were applied to measure external respiration indices. Physical load was induced using G.N. Apanasenko’s squat test. Data were processed statistically using integrative indices (vital index, Erisman index). Results: After loading, HR significantly increased in both groups: from 84.6±2.3 to 130.0±4.6 in group I and from 78.1±2.1 to 134.7±3.4 in group II. SBP and DBP also rose markedly, reaching 150.0±5.0 and 162.0±3.4 mmHg, respectively. Cardiac output (CO) increased to 12.69±0.33 L/min in group I and 12.92±0.25 L/min in group II. VC, TV, and ERV remained largely unchanged, while SpO₂ dropped significantly after loading to 82.7±1.4% and 84.0±1.6% in groups I and II, respectively.
