- Abstract
The educational society for a long time has been trapped in the stigma that environmental problems are the responsibility of natural science. Using qualitative data, I found that service-learning integrated to social studies especially civics education was able to contribute to the improvement of our environment today and be a media for self-existence for students who are the agent of transformation to reveal a sustainable environment. Tried to make a difference, I tried to focus on designing service-learning according to our culture and explored more about the significance of service-learning as a media for the existence of students who are agents of transformation in discussing environmental sustainability issues. I conclude by discussing the potential for developing service learning in civic education which is prioritized for future research and applications aimed at promoting individual student’s responsibility, opportunities and social justice as citizen in practising their knowledge for a better earth.
