ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOOL: DIGGING OF ECOLOGICAL CONCEPTS

Abstract:

Environmental school is a good way to introduce student for preserving the nature. By involving education, student can sustain their environmental awareness with religion and science. As their foundation, student can balance among religion, science and ecology. Environmental school (Sekolah Alam) also becomes a new model of learning to save the nature. Bruno Latour’s theory about ecologizing modernity is compatible with this way. However, Sekolah Citra Alam as a prototype of environmental education is based on religion. Although, among religion, science and ecology are balance in this school, but when it is seen at conceptualization of digging ecology, it is lack of knowledge about understanding deep ecology, gaia or anthropocene. Sekolah Citra Alam Ciganjur only teaches about how to be close and to maintain the nature. I criticize environmental school since it is still verycostly, and it can only be reached by rich-people. The model of environmental school is a good-way to respect nature and environment for children as the next generation.
