We assessed the global and local environmental concerns of students using the Balinese Subak Cultural Heritage site as an authentic science, technology, social, and environment (STSE) learning situation. In total, 68 high school students from Bali Province, Indonesia, participated in two STSE learning approaches. Data were collected twice (before and after STSE implementation) using the new ecological paradigm (NEP) scale and its modification called the local environmental paradigm (LEP). Both approaches significantly enhanced students' pro-ecological views from being human-centered to environment-centered. Students in the participatory video class achieved higher NEP and LEP scores than those in the PowerPoint class. Our findings suggest that using cultural heritage with an interactive digital tool and authentic STSE grounds learning with a sense of place and provides practical experience in enhancing the students' environmental views.
