Abstract

Increasingly complex environmental problems, such as students’ low awareness and concern for the cleanliness and sustainability of the school environment, indicate that environmentally based character education has not been optimally internalized in educational practice. This is reflected in behaviors such as littering, poor classroom maintenance, and limited participation in environmental activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Adiwiyata Program at SMA Negeri 1 Gending as an effort to build environmental awareness among students. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews with the principal, vice principal, teachers, and students; direct observation of student behavior across various areas of the school; and documentation in the form of activity reports, school policies, and program archives. Data were analyzed descriptively.

The results indicate that the Adiwiyata Program has been comprehensively implemented across learning, student activities, and school management. The integration of environmental values into lesson materials, student council activities, and school policies has encouraged observable changes in student behavior, such as properly disposing of trash, maintaining classroom cleanliness, caring for plants, using reusable food containers, and reminding peers to keep the school clean. Furthermore, the findings highlight key supporting factors, including the commitment of school leaders, a structured Adiwiyata organizational committee, and parental support, alongside challenges such as budget constraints, low participation among some teachers, and limited ongoing training. This study concludes that the synergy of policies, learning, and school culture critically influences the success of environmental character education, emphasizing the need for sustained integration of green initiatives into school governance for future generations.
