WATER CONSERVATION MOCK-UP AS LEARNING MEDIA PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS FOR TEACHERS OF ENGINEERING BUILDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FACILITIES

Public awareness of the environmental conditions should be improved. This must be done, given the increasingly damaged environmental conditions caused by human activities itself, to cause global warming and climate change that is exacerbating the situation. Environmental education needs to be instilled early on to learners, in order to create the next generation who care about the environment. Therefore, students of construction engineering professors must also have knowledge of the environment, closely related to the development of environmental aspects. The outcomes of this research are the conservation of water in green house, booklet, and lesson plan. This research includes descriptive research using research and development (R & D) level 1 method proposed by Sugiyono. The development model used is a descriptive procedural development model by following the research steps to produce a product. The steps of development in this research include: (1) preliminary study stage and design which includes three activities namely; (a) potentials and problems, (b) study of literature and information collection, and (c) product design; (2) development stage that includes maket making and design validation activities, (3) evaluation phase that is covering activity improvement of product which developed to become a decent design. Sources of data in this study are academic observers of green building, practitioners GBCI, environmental experts, learning experts, and media experts. Data obtained from the results of the study were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of questionnaires from learning experts and media experts were analyzed quantitatively, while interviews, documentation, and observations to green building observers, GBCI practitioners, and environmental experts were analyzed qualitatively. Based on the results of the study, obtained the validation results of expert learning, it can be concluded that from the aspect of RPP, get a value of 91.67%. The study expert evaluates the RPP with very decent category. Then the results of validation of media experts, it can be concluded that from the aspect of learning media, get the value of 79%. The learning expert assesses the learning medium with very decent category. The resulting product is a model of water conservation in environmentally friendly house, booklet booklet, and learning implementation plan (RPP) as guidance of media usage in learning. Based on the analysis of data and discussion can be concluded that the product is very feasible to be used as a medium of learning for prospective students of building engineering teachers for environmental education.
