Abstract

Conclusion. This research underscores an epistemic transformation in which students are not only involved in the acquisition of knowledge but also participate in creating an understanding of ecological consciousness as the ethical foundation of their intelligence. The implication of this research is that project-based learning can help students improve ecological literacy.
