ABSTRAK


Pengetahuan asas tentang alam sekitar perlu difahami oleh semua lapisan masyarakat khususnya para pelajar di sekolah. Guru memainkan peranan penting dalam menerapkan pengetahuan dan seterusnya meningkatkan kesedaran alam sekitar. Sebuah modul pengajaran bertajuk Pemeliharaan dan Pemuliharaan Hutan Hujan Tropika telah dihasilkan dalam usaha membantu para guru mengajar Pendidikan Alam Sekitar dengan lebih berkesan. Satu kajian telah dijalankan bertujuan menilai kefahaman guru-guru terhadap modul tersebut serta membuat analisis mengenai tahap pengetahuan dan kesedaran di kalangan guru-guru. Ia juga meliputi hubungan signifikan antara tahap pengetahuan dengan faktor latar belakang akademik. 12 buah sekolah menengah di daerah Gombak menjadi lokasi kajian yang terdiri daripada 133 responden dari pelbagai latar belakang akademik. Kaedah kajian adalah berdasarkan modul pengajaran dan borang soal selidik. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap pengetahuan adalah tinggi (peratus betul >75%), sedangkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tahap pengetahuan dengan faktor latar belakang akademik (p>0.05). Manakala tahap kesedaran guru-guru terhadap alam sekitar adalah sederhana (M = 3.396, SP = 0.941) dan kefahaman guru-guru terhadap modul dari aspek teks (M = 3.419, SP = 0.816), aktiviti (M = 3.382, SP = 0.973) dan secara keseluruhan (M = 3.427, SP = 0.820) juga adalah sederhana. Sebagai rumusan, walaupun tahap pengetahuan di kalangan guru-guru adalah tinggi, namun demikian tahap kefahaman mereka terhadap alam sekitar masih sederhana dan menyebabkan tahap kesedaran guru-guru masih tidak memuaskan.


ABSTRACT


Basic knowledge of environment should be understood by the society particularly students in schools. Teachers play an important role to adapt knowledge and to increase the awareness of the environment. A teaching module entitled Breeding and Restoration of the Tropical Rain Forest had been produced to help teachers in teaching Environmental Education effectively. A study was conducted to evaluate the teachers’ understanding towards the module and to analyse the level of knowledge and awareness among teachers. It also includes the significant relationship between the level of knowledge and their academic background. 12 secondary schools in the district of Gombak consisting of 133 respondents from different academic background had been chosen as the study location. The methodology is based on the teaching module and questionnaires. The results shows that, the level of knowledge is high (percentage of correct answers >70%), although there exist insignificant relationship between the level of knowledge and academic background (p>0.05). While the level of awareness is moderate (M = 3.396, SD = 0.941) and the understanding of the module on the aspects of texts (M = 3.419, SD = 0.816), activities (M = 3.382, SD = 0.973) and overall (M = 3.427, SD = 0.820) are also moderate. As a conclusion, although the level of knowledge among teachers is high, their understanding is moderate and as a result, the level of awareness is still not satisfied.

Keywords: Basic knowledge, understanding of environment, environmental awareness, teaching module, tropical rain forest, Environmental Education, academic background.
