Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in students' environmental literacy levels, between public and Islamic high schools in Banda Aceh. This study was conducted in four high schools in Banda Aceh, involving 327 students. The data was obtained through a questionnaire of environmental literacy, administered to the students and analysed using descriptive statistics and SPSS version 22. The results of this study showed that high school students' literacy was good. Further, the student environmental literacy level at an Islamic school was higher than at a public school, with average scores of 3.821 and 3.684 respectively. The findings showed that female students' environmental literacy level was higher than male students; 3.637 and 3.528 respectively. In conclusion, the application of environmental literacy at all levels of schooling must be integrated with students' daily life. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
