The results of the development of an environmental education module for biology learning on the environmental theme were judged based on the BNSP (National Institution of Educational Standard) instrument. The study analysed the effect of the module implementation on learning environmental education (EE). Research has been done on fourth-grade students of UNNES Lab School, i.e. class A as experimental class and B as control class, by quasi-experimental design. Information on the improvement of 'environmental care' learning outcomes were from tests and questionnaires of environmental concerns on the dimensions of knowledge, curiosity, investigation and evaluation as well as verbal commitment. The N-gain data of pre-test and post-test and environment care scores were analysed by a t-test. The results showed that there was a difference in the improvement of the students' knowledge of the experimental class with control. Likewise, environmental attitudes show a difference in attitude improvement. Improvement of knowledge and attitude in experimental class is higher than control class. Based on this research, it is found that the learning environment facilitated by the EE module could increase knowledge and attitudes of environment care. This result is reinforced by students and teachers' responses that express well in the learning setting. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
