This research aims to analyze the influence of the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) model integrated with the peer teaching method on the environmental literacy skills of students in the environmental change material. The method used is quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. The population in this study was 72 students, with a sample of 36 students in the experimental class and the control class obtained through simple random sampling. The results of the hypothesis test using the independent sample t-test obtained sig. 0.006 < α = 0.05 and it can be assumed that H0 is rejected. These results indicate that there is an influence of the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) learning model integrated with the peer teaching method on the environmental literacy of students. The results of the normalized gain test obtained 78%, indicating that the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) learning model integrated with the peer teaching method is effective for improving environmental literacy. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) learning model integrated with the peer teaching method can be applied to environmental change material to foster students' environmental literacy.
