Abstract

Internalizing environmental values requires a multidisciplinary approach. Therefore, almost all aspects have an interest in environmental problems, including history education. This paper aims to identify environmental issues that can be incorporated into history learning. One of the topics that are nearly related to ecological matters is the prehistoric topic. Here, people still have a high dependence on nature. As part of historical material, prehistoric times are very relevant to introduce environmental issues to students in the classroom. This paper uses an analysis of the historical education curriculum and textbooks used. This paper intends to find the relevance of history learning in the cultivation of environmental care among students. This paper will discuss strategies for internalizing the environmental values in historical learning, especially in prehistory discussion. This paper is expected to be able to contribute to how historical education plays a role in strengthening the character of caring for the environment. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
