GREEN as model urban gardening in school

This research titled "GREEN As Model Urban Gardening In School" focuses on creating a comprehensive model for GREEN media integration. The model development involves conceptualizing a garden, planning through Project Based Learning, preparing resources, and involving the school community. The implementation encompasses media creation, seed sowing, nurturing, monitoring, harvesting, and promotion. The school garden serves as a vital learning medium, fostering biodiversity, food production, and nutritional awareness. It enhances psychosocial attitudes, responsibility, dietary habits, and academic achievements. The garden's benefits encompass physical health, academic excellence, positive environmental attitudes, and social connections. Various subjects are taught using garden elements, supporting interdisciplinary learning. Research methods encompass design, setting, samples, data collection, analysis, and reporting. Experimental design via Project Based Learning engaged high school students in extracurricular activities. Tools such as manure, seeds, trays, and agricultural equipment were utilized. The study was conducted at the Indonesian School of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The number of samples studied were 34 people from class X Science, X SMK Culinary, and X SMK Hospitality. Data collection techniques using Likert Scale questionnaire instruments, interviews, and pretest-posttest (OGDE). The collected data were analyzed using the statistical description method. Data collection employed Likert Scale questionnaires, interviews, and pretest-posttest analysis.
