Training on Creating Learning Media to Improve the Ability to Create Learning Media Kamishibai for Environmental and Disaster Education

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that is prone to disasters caused by environmental damage; therefore, community preparedness in facing disasters must start early. Bogor Regency is a city with very high rainfall; flash floods and landslides often occur in this area. The geographical contours of the Bogor district area are hilly and mountainous, making landslides frequent. Environmental education and disaster mitigation are efforts to provide knowledge to the broader community. With environmental education and disaster mitigation, it is necessary to disseminate learning methods that can be taught to students at school. In this training, attended by 17 teachers at SMP Negeri 2 Caringin, Bogor Regency, the participants took part in training on creating learning media to teach environmental impacts and disaster mitigation. This teaching media was adopted from learning media in Japan, namely Kamishibai. The participants were given socialization about Kamishibai, how to create scenarios, take pictures and present them. Data was collected through questionnaires and narratives created by participants. From the data collection results, participants felt they had new knowledge and abilities in creating learning media for environmental education and disaster mitigation. Participants also thought that Kamishibai media was exciting and made teaching easier for teachers. Kamishibai's scenario narrative was calculated using cloud words, counting the words that emerged from the narrative compiled by the training participants; landslides, floods, earthquakes, and rubbish were the words that dominated the other words.
