Reducing the impact of global warming through school based management framework: Engaging students' participation in daily life integrated curriculum

Abstract

Recent study findings indicate that global warming plays a significant impact on our planet, for instance the raising temperature of earth that affects the melting of polar ice caps. This melting polar ice cap may cause the increasing of sea level, moreover it also causes serious effect for all organisms on earth. The research aimed to describe the ways of reducing the negative impact of global warming integrated into students' participation in their daily life based on science teachers' perceptions, beliefs, opinion and ideas. The results are converted into preliminary forms of product in the form of a hypothetical framework of green school-based management. This study was the qualitative research with the methods of Focused Group Discussions (FGD). Based on the result of FGD, school communities and stakeholders have to actively participate in reducing the effects of global warming integratedly and continuously. The form of participation and integration are presented in the hypothetical school-based management framework.
