This study aims to develop the Busy Book “Adventures in Protecting Nature” as a medium for teaching environmental literacy to young children. This product is designed to introduce environmental concepts through various interactive activities that can raise children's awareness of the importance of protecting nature and cleanliness. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D model, this study produced media that has been validated by media experts and subject matter experts with very high scores, namely 100% and 81.33%, who assessed this media as very suitable for use. However, there are several suggestions for improvement, such as adding a cardboard coating to increase the durability of the media and adding material related to the impact of environmental pollution. This research contributes to the development of innovative and effective environmental literacy-based learning media, with the aim of increasing children's understanding of environmental issues from an early age.

This study aims to analyze the effect of pedagogical competence and achievement motivation on teacher performance, with organizational commitment as a mediating variable at SMP Negeri Sub Rayon 02, Jepara Regency. Using a quantitative approach and path analysis based on survey data from teachers, the results show that pedagogical competence and achievement motivation have a significant direct effect on teacher performance. In addition, achievement motivation also has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment, which in turn improves teacher performance confirming the role of organizational commitment as an effective mediator in this relationship. However, pedagogical competence does not have a significant effect on organizational commitment, so there is no mediating effect in this pathway. The R² value of 0.754 on teacher performance indicates that the model has high explanatory power. These findings have important implications for teacher development policies, whereby improving performance is not only achieved through technical (pedagogical) training, but also requires strengthening psychological aspects such as achievement motivation and the formation of organizational commitment through transformational leadership, performance-based rewards, and a supportive work climate.
