Feasibility is proven by the results of the assessment conducted by the validator who obtained a score of 4.3 in the excellent category. The modules have also proven to be effective in improving environmental care character. In a qualitative descriptive analysis, the effectiveness is proved by obtaining the percentage of gain in the treatment class by 58% with the category quite effective and by 33% in the control class with the ineffective category. In a quantitative descriptive analysis, the effectiveness is proved by t-test result with p-value (sig) 0.000 less than 0.05 (Sig < 0.05). It means, there is a significant difference between the gain of environmental care character for the treatment and the control class.
