Description
Summary:Education is one of the important aspects for human beings. Through education, humans can learn to think critically, be moral, and be civilized. Schools are a vital place in carrying out education and each country has a different way or curriculum that is adapted to the existing culture to educate the younger generation. This difference also occurs in Environmental Education. This study focuses on the differences in environmental education at the elementary school level in Japan and Indonesia. Japan has known as a country with amazing technology, not only that Japan is also known for the cleanliness of its country. That is because Japan has a discipline and high awareness of cleanliness. The disciplines are taught early age through a formal or informal educational institution and work together with teaching staff. Instilling a sense of love for the environment from an early age will be embedded and become a good habit until adulthood which will also have an impact on the surrounding environment in the future. Therefore, Indonesia can learn from Japan to improve the existing Environmental Education. This research uses the qualitative analysis method and the data is collected by library method, then the data is analyzed by descriptive method.
