Environmental Literacy Learning In The Books Gara Gara Ole: A Study Of Values In Early Childhood Education
Keywords:
environmental literacy, early childhood, PAUD learning, educational values, Gara-gara OleAbstract
This study aims to examine the environmental literacy values contained in the children’s book Gara-gara Ole written by Zulfa Adiputri (2022) and to analyze its implementation in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) learning. The book tells the story of a boy named Ole who unknowingly causes a drainage blockage by carelessly disposing of a plastic cup, and eventually learns the importance of keeping the environment clean. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis techniques on the text and illustrations, as well as literature studies on the application of environmental values in early childhood education. The results show that Gara-gara Ole contains essential environmental literacy values such as responsibility for waste, ecological awareness, curiosity about natural phenomena, and learning through experience. These values can be implemented in PAUD learning through storytelling, role-playing, and simple projects related to waste management. Therefore, Gara-gara Ole serves as an effective medium to foster love and care for the environment from an early age.
