Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a key driver in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ESD themes and systems thinking competencies are forms of ESD application. UNESCO has defined eleven themes in the implementation of ESD in schools including biodiversity, climate change education, disaster risk reduction, cultural diversity, poverty alleviation, gender equality, health promotion, sustainable lifestyles, human peace and security, water, and sustainable urbanization (Kemendikbud, 2014). Systems thinking competencies include the ability to know and understand relationships, analyze complex things, think about how systems are embedded in different domains and at different scales, and to deal with uncertainty (UNESCO, 2017). The ESD concept has been implemented in Indonesia at various levels of education including elementary schools (Kemendikbud, 2014). In line with that, the researcher intends to raise the title" Education for Sustainable Development on Elementary School Science National Exam Questions" to describe the ESD theme and what systems thinking competencies have been implemented in Indonesia, especially at the school level basis. At present, there are many studies on the analysis of the National Examination questions:(i) Mujib, et al.(2018) conducted an analysis of the SD/MI Science UN questions for 2015-2017 based on Bloom's taxonomy;(ii) Asiasi, MF, & Ridlo, ZR (2018) conducted a comparative analysis of the SD UN 2011-2017 and IMSO 2006-2017 questions;(iii) Sari & Cahyaningsing (2020) analyzed HOTS questions in the Science UN 2018.
