This survey study distributed the questionnaires to 175 students at Universitas Negeri Jakarta in Indonesia. Data analysis in this study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The result of this study found that environmental awareness model for students at Universitas Negeri Jakarta in Indonesia proposed was good fit for the data. This study confirmed that student having noble values of sustainability has significantly positive association with student environmental awareness. However, the relationships between student environmental practices and student environmental attitudes with the student environmental awareness were not supported in this study. In the conclusion, it is highlighted that the model of environmental awareness hypotesized in this study can be implemented for students at Universitas Negeri Jakarta in Indonesia specifically for the association between student having noble values of sustainability and student environmental awareness. Keywords: Environmental awareness, noble values, sustainability 1. Introduction Environmental awareness indicated by the level of knowledge about the environment can be improved through a training program (Tor, 2009; Meiboudi, Karimzadegan, & Khalilnejad, 2011; Basri, Zain, Jaafar, Basri, & Suja, 2012; Viorica & Torii, 2013; Safitri, Umasih, Ibrahim, Sujarwo., Marini, Wahyudi, 2019; Safitri, Nuraini, Rihatno, Kaban, Marini, & Wahyudi, 2020; Safitri, Umasih, Yunaz, Marini, & Wahyudi, 2019). The level of environmental awareness was predicted by sustainable development and practices, attitudes and moral values of sustainability (Hassan, Noordin, Sulaiman, 2010). Environmental attitudes and behavior are different for students with different grades (Hasiloglu, Keles, & Aydin, 2011). Local culture is the main cause of social and environmental defects (Ahmed & Khatee, 2012). Environmental awareness was raised through musical instruments produced from waste materials (Ozturk, 2012). Environmental awareness level of female students is higher than male students (Altin, Tecer, Tecer, Altih, & Kahraman, 2014). However, most studies have not explained a more detail explanation about indicator measurement of student environmental awareness. 2. Literature review Knowledge level about causes and effects of environmental issues was increased through education (Tor, 2009; Meiboudi, Karimzadegan, & Khalilnejad, 2011; Basri, Zain, Jaafar, Basri, & Suja, 2012; Viorica & Torii, 2013; Safitri, Umasih, Ibrahim, Sujarwo., Marini, Wahyudi, 2019; Safitri, Nuraini, Rihatno, Kaban, Marini, & Wahyudi, 2020; Safitri, Umasih, Yunaz, Marini, & Wahyudi, 2019). The concepts of environmental awareness are classified into emotional, attitude, and practices of sustainability awareness (Hassan, Noordin, Sulaiman, 2010). This study found as the class level of students increased, their positive environmental behaviors diminished (Hasiloglu, Keles, & Aydin, 2011). The local communities should be encouraged to act in conserving the environment followed by giving praise and gratitude in order that they can take more meaningful action towards environment (Ahmed & Khatee, 2012). Student creative thinking abilities to produce played instruments and environmental awareness were raised through recycling of the waste materials (Ozturk, 2012). As family income and family education level increased, student environmental
