ENHANCE STUDENTS' CREATIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING BASED ON ECO-DIGITAL PEDAGOGY

Pedagogy play a crucial role in the learning process. The implementation of pedagogy in social studies education has a specific role in preparing students to become good citizens who can contribute to solving problems in their surroundings. Environmental issues, which are one of the subjects of social studies, must receive special attention in order to address them effectively. The concept of Ecological Digital Pedagogy is one of the efforts that the education sector can undertake to prepare students to always care for their environment. The use of digital tools in education has now become a necessity to enable students to learn more effectively and innovatively, explore sources of knowledge, and solve problems creatively. The implementation of eco-digital pedagogy can be carried out using the Canva for Education application, which is accessible for free to teachers and students. This application provides various features that can be used to create and edit images and videos. In the context of environmental education, the Canva application is used to create learning content and assignments for students on efforts related to environmental preservation, disaster mitigation, waste recycling, and so on. In this way, digital learning can be achieved, rooted in efforts to promote environmental awareness and to enhance students' creativity in the learning process.
