Abstract

This study aims to develop a science learning model based on the local potential of natural
tourism to enhance elementary school students’ environmental literacy. The natural tourism sites in Magetan
Regency were utilized as contextual learning resources integrating ecosystem concepts, conservation
principles, and local wisdom. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using a
modified Borg & Gall model, consisting of needs analysis, planning, product development, limited trials,
revision, field testing, and final product refinement. The participants included fifth-grade elementary school
students, science teachers, and subject-matter experts. Data were collected through observation,
questionnaires, interviews, and environmental literacy tests, and analyzed using both quantitative descriptive
and qualitative methods. The findings reveal that science learning based on local natural tourism significantly
improves students’ conceptual understanding, environmental awareness, and critical thinking skills. The final
product, consisting of learning tools (lesson plans, student worksheets, and an interactive e-book), was rated
highly valid and effective based on expert validation, teacher practicality assessments, and the improvement
of students’ environmental literacy scores. These results highlight the importance of utilizing local potential
as a relevant learning source to foster ecological awareness from an early age.
