Abstract
The purpose of service activity is to describe how to create learning materials using
various types of text by bringing eco-literacy approach and participants' responses.
Our partners encounter a challenge wherein teachers struggle to provide instructional
materials aligned with the concept of environmental awareness due to the continued
emphasis on teacher-centred learning. The consequence is the students’ cognitive
skills remain at a low level, and a lack of interest in environmental matters. Eco-
literacy strategies are the solution to develop teachers’ instructional materials that
align with the principles of sustainable development and environmental awareness and
enhances stuents’ active learning. Workshops and socialization were implemented and
30 primary teachers in Surabaya participated. The instruments were a pre-post-test and
a questionnaire. The results indicate that the teachers' comprehension of eco-literacy
concept has been enhanced. They can also develop materials and lesson plan based
on eco-literacy approach. In addition, nearly all teachers express feelings of
enthusiasm and happiness regarding this activity, and 85% indicated they enable
creating learning activities. It was concluded that this activity could improve their
knowledge regarding the concept of eco-literacy. It is suggested to employ engaging
instructional materials to facilitate the realization of SDGs.
