IMPLEMENTATION OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING INTEGRATED DISASTER MITIGATION INTO INDONESIAN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

In the last decade, natural disasters in Indonesia have increased significantly, affecting various sectors, including education. As many as sixty percent of schools are located in disaster-prone areas, so disaster mitigation efforts that are integrated into learning are needed. This study aims to describe the steps of implementing problem-based learning in Indonesian language learning in high school that integrates disaster mitigation material. The method used is a literature study with descriptive analysis of various relevant sources. The results of the study show that problem-based learning has potential to develop students' critical and creative thinking skills in dealing with real disaster problems. The integration of disaster mitigation material in observation, exposition, explanation, procedure, and editorial texts can improve knowledge, writing skills, and disaster mitigation awareness. The learning stages include orientation to the problem, organization of learning, investigation, development of work, and evaluation. The role of the teacher as a facilitator is very important in guiding this process. It is concluded that problem-based learning integrated with disaster mitigation can be an effective strategy in forming a disaster resilient generation in the school environment.
