| description | Environmental sustainability has become a critical issue in the modern era, particularly concerning climate change and environmental degradation. This research highlights the significance of environmental education and the integration of local wisdom as a learning resource. The primary objective is to investigate the impact of an ecopedagogical approach rooted in local wisdom on enhancing environmental knowledge and awareness among Geography Education students. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative descriptive analysis and qualitative insights, conducted in Kampung Naga, Salawu, Tasikmalaya Regency. Quantitative data were gathered through surveys, and qualitative data were collected via participatory observations and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that the ecopedagogical approach significantly boosts students’ environmental knowledge and awareness, with 80% of students demonstrating a high level of environmental understanding. Out of nine assessed indicators, seven were rated high and twomedium. Specifically, in the Land Conservation and Reclamation course, two indicators improved to a medium category and one to a high category post-learning experience in Kampung Naga. In conclusion, the preservation of local wisdom through an ecopedagogical approach effectively fosters critical environmental attitudes and awareness, making it a potent educational tool for sustainable environmental practices. |
