ESD-Based Green Chemistry Teaching Materials in High School to Support Sustainability

understand environmental issues and play a role in supporting sustainability. Although the concept of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has often been applied in many fields, its application, specifically in green chemistry teaching materials in high school, still receives less attention. Previous studies focus more on the concept of green chemistry in general, so there is still a void in the development of teaching materials specifically designed to support sustainability goals. This study reviews and analyzes various literatures on the development of ESD-based green chemistry teaching materials in high school, evaluating their impact on students’ environmental understanding and critical thinking skills. The method used is Systematic Literature Review (SLR), by reviewing research that has been published between 2018 and 2024. Relevant literature was identified from the Google scholar academic journal database to get a comprehensive view of the implementation of this teaching material. The results of the study show that ESD-based green chemistry teaching materials can increase students’ awareness of environmental issues, encourage them to take concrete actions that support sustainability, and hone their critical thinking skills in understanding the environmental impacts of various chemical processes. Nevertheless, there are challenges in its implementation, such as limited resources for teachers and the need for further training so that teachers are ready to implement this teaching material properly. Overall, this study concludes that ESD-based green chemistry teaching materials have great potential in supporting sustainable learning in high schools. However, further development and stronger support for teacher training and the provision of adequate resources are needed.
