As much as three dimensions of environmental literacy, they are cognitive, skill, and attitude/behavior toward the environment. Stratified random sampling was used to choose as much as 250 primary school students in Bogor West Java. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) by using M-Plus was used to analyze the data. Based on the finding showed that the Chi-square was 465.976* with the degree of freedom (df) = 78. The p-value of this result study was 0.0000, and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.141, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.938. It was concluded based on the result above that the model was fit with the data.
