International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, v12 n4 p617-627 2017
This study was aimed to figure out: (1) the implementation of contextual learning approaches; (2) the learning outcome of conservation education using contextual approach on the internship program preparation class; (3) the conservation-based behaviour of the internship program participants; (4) the contribution of conservation education results using contextual approach on the internship program preparation class to the conservation-based behaviour of the participants. The study was conducted at Mechanical Engineering program, Engineering Faculty, UNNES and industries in Central Java in 2016. The implementation of contextual learning approach data were gathered using direct observation. The learning outcome of the conservation education implementation using contextual approach to the internship program preparation class were gathered using a test sheet and the data of conservation-based behaviour of the internship program participants were gathered using the observation sheet. The data were analysed using descriptive and simple regression. This study showed that: (1) the implementation of contextual learning approach carried out at the internship program preparation class was in the form of additional material on the conservation education course; (2) the learning outcome of the conservation education with contextual approach were mostly higher; (3) the conservation-based behaviour of the internship program participants was mostly higher; (4) the contribution of learning outcome of the conservation education carried out using a contextual approach to the internship program preparation class was 0.98 to the conservation-based behaviour of the internship program participants in the Mechanical Engineering program, Engineering Faculty, UNNES.
