Abstract

This study explores the implementation of waste-management-based contextual learning strategies through Teacher-Working Groups (KKG) in Yogyakarta. The purpose of this study was to examine how contextual strategies with waste management materials are implemented at schools. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study investigated the planning, media, challenges, and implementation of waste management materials in five elementary schools in Sleman. The data collection process included in-depth interviews with teachers and members of KKG MI Sleman, observation during learning activities, and documentation. The findings indicate that waste-management-based contextual learning strategies have been successfully integrated into KKG MI Sleman agenda, with five schools already implementing waste management materials across various subjects such as Science, Civics, Fine Arts, and Environmental Science. Teachers have introduced the 3R concept (reuse, reduce, recycle), which was tailored to the needs and learning outcomes listed in the learning modules for children. Despite challenges related to infrastructure, consistency of teacher activities, and strategy implementation; teacher awareness of waste management, and teacher coordination within the KKG significantly improved.
