Examining The Opportunities Of ESQ-Oriented Problem Based Learning On Food Waste Issues In Enhancing Students' Sustainability Consciousness

2025-12-05T01:10:42+00:00

The issue of food waste represents a global challenge with profound environmental, economic, and social consequences, serving as a barrier to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Indonesia, the high rate of food waste underscores the need for transformative educational strategies that cultivate students’ sustainability consciousness. While numerous studies have explored Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as an effective approach for developing critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, limited attention has been given to its potential for internalizing moral and spiritual values that drive sustainable behavior. This article addresses that gap by analyzing the potential of integrating Emotional Spiritual Quotient (ESQ)-oriented PBL to enhance sustainability awareness through the contextual issue of food waste. Using a integrative literature review of 25 key publications (2018–2025) from reputable databases and international reports, the findings reveal that ESQ integration within PBL enriches the affective and conative domains of learning by instilling values of responsibility, balance (mizan), and human stewardship (khalifa fil ardh).The main finding highlights that ESQ-based PBL promotes a holistic form of sustainability consciousness encompassing cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. Educationally, this model offers an innovative and culturally relevant pedagogical framework for biology learning, empowering students to transform sustainability values into meaningful actions aligned with Indonesia’s moral and religious contexts.

2025-12-05T01:11:32+00:00

The non-academic achievement of students has not been the main focus of the school coaching strategy. Lack of facilities and low social support are considered to hinder student involvement and strengthen self-efficacy. This study aims to explore the role of extracurricular study clubs and self-efficacy as mediators in the influence of school facilities and social support on students' non-academic achievement. The survey method was used to collect data from 82 active students in the extracurricular study club of SMAN 2 Ponorogo through probability sampling techniques. The instrument used was a Likert scale questionnaire 1–4 which included 5 variables and 33 research constructs. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach to test 7 direct influences and 5 indirect influences.

The results of the study showed that school facilities and social support had a positive and significant impact on students' non-academic achievement, both directly and indirectly through the mediation of self-efficacy and involvement in study clubs. Self-efficacy has been shown to have a strong mediating role in the relationship between social support and non-academic achievement. The implication of these findings is the importance of integrating extracurricular programs and confidence-building in educational strategies. This research makes a novel contribution through the simultaneous integration of physical environment variables, social support, psychological aspects, and student activities in a single PLS-SEM-based conceptual model.
