Description
Summary:Adiwiyata is the green school program run by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Education of Indonesia since 2006. The impact of the program on the disaster and mitigation literacy of the students is questionable. This quantitative study aims to compare the disaster and mitigation literacy levels of students of Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata schools, as well as to identify several factors that may influence disaster and mitigation literacy among junior high school students. The respondents were students of Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata Schools (N=346). Data was collected through knowledge tests, attitude questionnaires, and interviews. The collected data was analysed using an independent t-test and Kruskal-Wallis. The findings show no significant difference in disaster literacy between students in Adiwiyata and non-Adiwiyata Schools. Based on the interviews, it was also found that the disaster literacy and mitigation program in the Adiwiyata School was not running properly. Additionally, it was found that the factors influencing disaster and mitigation literacy are gender, grade, disaster experience, and training experience. From this study, the Adiwiyata schools need to improve literacy and disaster mitigation training.
