Pembelajaran Berbasis Alam dalam Mengatasi Keterbatasan Sarana dan Prasarana di SD Muhammadiyah 2 Maklit Sorong Selatan

Abstract

Limited educational facilities and infrastructure often become obstacles in the teaching and learning process, especially in remote areas such as South Sorong. Muhammadiyah 2 Maklit Elementary School faces this challenge by implementing nature-based learning as an alternative to maximize the potential of the surrounding environment. This research aims to analyze the implementation, challenges, and solutions of nature-based learning in overcoming the limitations of facilities and infrastructure at Muhammadiyah 2 Maklit Elementary School.The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection through field observations, interviews and documentation. The results of the study indicate that nature-based learning is effective in increasing student engagement, motivating them to learn, and enriching the understanding of the concepts taught. This approach provides a creative solution to the limited facilities, while encouraging appreciation for the surrounding environment. The obstacles to nature-based learning at SD Muhammadiyah 2 Maklit include lack of teacher understanding, dense curriculum, weather constraints, limited operational costs, and minimal support from the school or parents. Solutions to overcome obstacles to nature-based learning include optimizing the school area, teacher training, collaboration with the community, schedule management, and socialization to parents.
