Abstract

Environmental damage in the world has reached an alarming level, such as climate change, ecological damage, deforestation, air and water pollution, damage to coral reefs and mangrove forests, and the threat of plastic waste. Prospective economics teachers with environmental literacy have a vital role in forming future generations aware of the importance of sustainability. This research aims to analyse the literacy level and differences in ecological understanding of prospective economics teachers, including environmental awareness, attitude and behaviour. This research is quantitative. The research population was 744 prospective economic education teacher students. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling with 260 students. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire. The analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and a one-way ANOVA test. The research results showed significant differences in Environmental Behavior between prospective teacher students from the Accounting Education and Office Administration Education study programs. No differences were found in Environmental Awareness and Environmental Attitudes between the three study programs. This research recommends reviewing and enriching the curriculum with practical activities focusing on implementing environmental action and expanding existing ecological programs to ensure all students have equal opportunities to participate in environmental activities.
