Teacher orientation of Adiwiyata School trustees in environment character building in Malang Senior High School, Indonesia

This research was conducted to determine the supervisory teacher orientation
of Adiwiyata school program, a program of the Ministry of Environment and
Ministry of Education which aims to create good conditions for schools to become places of learning and awareness of the school community so that in the future the school community can involve in taking responsibility to save the environment and sustainable development. This research is a qualitative phenomenological research carried out on the supervisory teacher of Malang Adiwiyata School program. It was shown that the highest Adiwiyata Middle School, that has ever received an award (gold) from the government as an
independent school, was chosen to be Adiwiyata school as a learning location. The data were collected by using in-depth interviews and documentation
studies. Meanwhile, data analysis used triangulation techniques which were
carried out simultaneously including data collection, data reduction, data
presentation, verification, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study
found that the Adiwiyata’s supervisory teachers had a clear orientation
based on activities or what was better known as a professional orientation.
Orientations are arranged systematically from the most basic orientation to
the peak orientation and expected to achieve as follows: policy development
orientation, insight-enhancing orientation, awareness orientation, awarenessraising orientation, and conservation orientation. Conservation orientation is
a direction that is created to realize the character of loving the environment. Conservation orientation in many ways illustrates that teachers and students are good conservationists. In addition, other orientations are additional orientations and are conducted outside the main orientation when it has been achieved.
