Ecopedagogy is a field of study that examines the environment through exploration of the natural surroundings. The discovery learning approach has the potential to enhance ecopedagogy instruction supported by student worksheets. This study aimed to develop discovery learning-based student worksheets for the ecopedagogy course within the Elementary Teacher Education program. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The results indicate that the developed student worksheets are suitable for instructional use. Ecopedagogy is a course that requires direct field observation. The dissemination phase involved 20 university students from the Elementary Teacher Education program. In conclusion, this study successfully developed discovery learning-based student worksheets for the ecopedagogy course.
