This study examines the real-world implementation of joyful social studies (IPS) learning through an eco-edutainment approach as an innovative method to enhance students’ environmental understanding and awareness. Using a qualitative research design based on the Miles and Huberman model, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants included social studies teachers, students, the chair of the Social Studies Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP IPS), and principals from several junior high schools in Semarang Regency. The findings reveal that the eco-edutainment approach fosters a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment and significantly enhances students’ understanding of environmental issues such as climate change, natural resource conservation, and waste management. Additionally, this approach promotes a shared sense of responsibility among students to care for the environment as part of their everyday lives. The study recommends further development of eco-edutainment-based learning models to support long-term environmental awareness and sustainable educational practices.
