Abstract

Introduction: a low environmental worldview contributes significantly to several environmental problems. It often leads to a lack of understanding and appreciation of the environment, which fosters negative behaviour towards environmental conservation and sustainability. Of course, efforts must be made to overcome these problems, one of which is through the education sector. This study aims to analyze the role of the module of environmental science in improving students’ environmental worldviews. Method: this research includes quasi-experimental designs with the type of nonrandomized control-group pretest-posttest design. The participants in this study were students of the biology education study program, with as many as four classes and a total of 78 students. The selected classes were equivalent classes obtained from the results of the equality test, and they were willing to become research participants. The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale measured the environmental worldviews. Results: the results showed that there was a significant difference in the use of teaching materials of environmental science on environmental worldview with a p-value of 0,000. E-module of environmental science based on PjBL and module of environmental science based on PjBL play an important role in facilitating an environmental worldview by integrating scientific content that can increase engagement through interactive learning. Conclusions: by utilizing e-modules and modules, educators can educate an environmentally conscious generation ready to tackle today’s pressing environmental issues. Applying an environmental worldview is essential to understanding and promoting pro-environmental behaviour. Enhancing the environmental worldview through education can foster more positive environmental behaviour, which is essential for effective environmental management. © 2025; Los autores.
