WATER CONSERVATION MOCK-UP AS LEARNING MEDIA PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS FOR TEACHERS OF ENGINEERING BUILDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FACILITIES

Abstract

Public awareness of the environmental conditions should be improved. This must be
done, given the increasingly damaged environmental conditions caused by human activities
itself, to cause global warming and climate change that is exacerbating the situation.
Environmental education needs to be instilled early on to learners, in order to create the next
generation who care about the environment. Therefore, students of construction engineering
professors must also have knowledge of the environment, closely related to the development
of environmental aspects. The outcomes of this research are the conservation of water in
green house, booklet, and lesson plan.
This research includes descriptive research using research and development (R & D)
level 1 method proposed by Sugiyono. The development model used is a descriptive
procedural development model by following the research steps to produce a product. The
steps of development in this research include: (1) preliminary study stage and design which
includes three activities namely; (a) potentials and problems, (b) study of literature and
information collection, and (c) product design; (2) development stage that includes maket
making and design validation activities, (3) evaluation phase that is covering activity
improvement of product which developed to become a decent design. Sources of data in this
study are academic observers of green building, practitioners GBCI, environmental experts,
learning experts, and media experts. Data obtained from the results of the study were
analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of questionnaires from learning experts
and media experts were analyzed quantitatively, while interviews, documentation, and
observations to green building observers, GBCI practitioners, and environmental experts
were analyzed qualitatively.
Based on the results of the study, obtained the validation results of expert learning, it
can be concluded that from the aspect of RPP, get a value of 91.67%. The study expert
evaluates the RPP with very decent category. Then the results of validation of media experts,
it can be concluded that from the aspect of learning media, get the value of 79%. The learning
expert assesses the learning medium with very decent category. The resulting product is a
model of water conservation in environmentally friendly house, booklet booklet, and learning
implementation plan (RPP) as guidance of media usage in learning. Based on the analysis of
data and discussion can be concluded that the product is very feasible to be used as a medium
of learning for prospective students of building engineering teachers for environmental
education.
