Students’ awareness to consume local food to live a healthy life while preserving the environment is part of ecoliteracy. This awareness can be developed pedagogically through the learning process in the classroom. This study aims to analyze the effect of utilizing Betawi local food on increasing students ecoliteracy during the implementation of Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project. It involved 120 fourth-grade students from four state elementary schools in East Jakarta with an age range of 9–11 years within the period of two months. The sampling technique used was purposive random sampling. This is pre-experimental research which employed a mixed-method approach consisting of quantitative and qualitative approaches to assess the increase in students’ ecoliteracy in three aspects (knowledge, attitudes, and skills). The quantitative approach was used to measure the aspect of knowledge and attitudes using tests and questionnaires, respectively. The qualitative approach was used to assess the skills aspect using documentation studies and interviews. The findings revealed that the implementations of Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project with utilizing Betawi local food can increase ecoliteracy of elementary school students in the aspects of knowledge and attitudes. These findings are supported by qualitative results for the aspect of skills. The recommendation for this study is that teachers can utilize local food as a form of local wisdom in the surrounding area to effectively increase the ecoliteracy of elementary school students. © 2023 Kasetsart University.
