Level of earthquake disaster preparedness and its integrity in natural science learning: A literature review

Abstract

Earthquake preparedness can be trained through a series of policies and strategies in formal and non-formal education. The characteristics of natural science as a study of nature are very strategic as a vehicle for learning mitigation. Earthquakes are one of the natural phenomena that have an impact on life. Earthquakes cause fatalities, property losses, and have an impact in education, this effect is because some people do not know about preparedness. This article uses a literature review. The purposes of writing this article are (1) literature review on earthquake preparedness attitudes (2) integrating earthquake preparedness in natural science learning (3) producing instruments for earthquake preparedness assessment instruments. The results obtained are (1) Earthquake alert attitude includes 4 aspects, 1): knowledge, attitudes and actions, 2): Early warning system, 3): Preparedness Planning, 4): Resource mobilization. (2) Integration of junior high school science subjects in the 2013 curriculum contained in the Basic Competency (Namely, KD) 3.10 which explains the layers of the earth, volcanoes, earthquakes, and risk reduction measures before, during and after disaster and KD 3.11 which analyzes the concept of vibration, waves and sounds. (3) Producing instruments with 27 statements that can be tested to determine the level of preparedness.
