Contextual Disaster Learning in The East Java Region to Increase Disaster Literacy and Awareness in Social Sciences Subjects

East Java is one of Indonesia's provinces prone to natural disasters such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, earthquakes and floods. The aim of this research is how to analyze the influence of learning East Java contextual disaster material in Social Sciences subjects on increasing disaster literacy and awareness in three high schools that represent the characteristics of various regions, namely mountain slopes, river valleys, and coasts. This research uses a pretest and posttest experimental design using data collection instruments in the form of test essays to measure disaster literacy and questionnaires to measure disaster awareness. Data were analyzed using the N-Gain Technique and one-way Manova. The results of this research show a significant increase in disaster literacy and awareness, although there are no significant differences between schools that have different regional characteristics. Positive impacts occur if disaster material is adapted to the contextual characteristics of each region. The recommendation from this research is that schools integrate disaster material into the curriculum to improve disaster preparedness.
