Current environmental problems have become a serious
threat to human life. One way to reduce this threat is to
change the paradigm of the younger generation through
education. Environmental Education (PLH) is the right step
to implement, especially in Adiwiyata schools. This study
aims to analyze students environmental care attitudes by
learning monolithic and integrated environmental
education. This research was conducted in 4 adiwiyata high
schools. The method used is a survey. The total sample was
307 students. The technique used through the questionnaire
environmental attitudes of students. Data analysis was
performed by t-test. The t-test results showed that there
were differences in students' environmental care attitudes
between monolithic learning and integration. Differences in
attitudes to care for the environment are found in 3
indicators namely, attitudes towards energy, attitudes
towards flora and fauna and attitudes towards the social and
human environment. Analysis of environmental care
attitudes category found that monolithic PLH learning was
1.24% in the excellent category, 98.76 in the good
category. While PLH integration is 1.39% very good,
93.10% is good and 5.51% is low. It was concluded that
students with monolithic PLH learning had environmental
care attitudes that were better than students' attitudes with
PLH integration learning.
