 CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND IT’S BACKGROUND

Introduction

This past decades, humanity witnessed an exponential growth in plastic use and

industrial waste. This problem has plagued every corner of society and schools are not

an exception. It is a frequent practice in the schools to do a proper hygiene, and putting

wastes into their respected bins is one of them. Cleanliness is part of the students'

hygiene, being unable to do so may cause illness that range from a normal to a severe

disease if left unattended. This research aims to let people be aware of their

surroundings, as the wastes allocated each day in the school does not plan to decrease

eventually. It also aims to survey students from 11-C how they prevent the growth of

wastes, being aware of their surroundings and their practices for reducing wastes in the

school.

Background and Purpose of the Study

Proper waste segregation mirrors the moral value and discipline of the students in a

school. This research will identify and analyze the awareness of grade 11 STEM

towards the issue in a way that would benefit everyone.

The researchers will utilize several ways to tackle this problem including conducting

a survey to gauge the knowledge of the populace, studying the amount of waste
produced will also help further the research as it would show the necessary amount of

effort and material, more importantly, researching productive and effective ways to

minimize waste will be the main purpose of the research.

Theoretical Framework

Research conducted in Zamboanga city by Romenick Alejandro Molina (2021)

revealed that students have sufficient knowledge in terms of definition of solid waste,

effect of improper solid waste disposal, solid waste prohibited activities, school

initiatives towards solid waste, importance of solid waste management and students’

responsibilities. However, students have low knowledge on the different laws relevant to

solid waste management.

Contrary to the earlier study shown, Atlantis press showed that the student waste

management’s knowledge was still low, because they had never been taught in the

school curriculum.

A similar research journal by Gonca Harman states that the students were

unaware of the basics of waste management practices such as waste types,

segregating waste at the source according to type, and throwing trash into an

appropriate waste bin for their type.

Statement of the problem

Grade 11 stem at Eastern Star Academy are facing challenges related to proper

waste management. The lack of the awareness in proper waste management within the

facilities might leads to significance problems.

This study aims to answer the following question:

1. what are the effect of environment in learning of the grade 11 C at eastern star

academy?

1.1 Are the facilities clean enough for the students to use?

1.2 Has gender have to do with the criteria of the cleanliness of surroundings?

2. Are rules and guidelines pertaining to waste management sufficient?

3. Does the environment in the school impact how productive the students are?

Assumption/hypothesis

Researchers presume the awareness of grade 11 stem on waste management.

They were particularly concerned about the potential health risks that improper waste

management procedures can cause. Grade 11- STEM are more likely to catch illness if
proper waste management practices are disregarded. If this is not addressed quickly

and efficiently, serious health issues may emerge. As a result, proper waste

management measures must be learned to ensure the safety and well-being of the

grade 11 STEM students at Eastern Star Academy.

The study hypothesizes that: effective waste management contain positive and negative

effect. The negative effect of improper waste management if the student does not aware

in waste management it can lead to health hazard, pollution, and lack of cleanliness in

the school environment that can affect students’ well-being and learning experiences.

On the contrary the positive effect might imply promoting environment awareness and

cleanliness

Scope and Limitation

In this study it only focuses on the awareness in waste management of grade 11

stem. The study was confined to grade 11 stem at Eastern Star Academy. Other section

and levels is not included since the researchers only covers the grade 11 stem. The

grade 11 Stem student and teachers need to cooperate in Separating, reducing,

reusing, recycling and composting are good options for managing school waste. Grade

11 teachers, need to find ways to get rid of school waste with the least negative effects

on the environment. Incinerating and building waste pits on the school grounds can only

be done by schools with no other option. Also parents of grade 11 Stem need to

cooperate with the student and teachers to teach their children on how to maintain
cleanliness in their own house and school. They need to discipline their kids and explain

to them on how to be responsible. For Preventing waste build ups, with more waste on

your school it can be harder to remove it consistently and efficiently. A specialized

waste management provider can schedule regular pickups to keep your school clear of

rubbish. Better waste separation, schools produce a wide range of waste types from

food waste, general waste, packaging, metals, plastics, sanitary waste, covid testing

waste, and more. Separating waste correctly is key to improving recycling and waste

management can provide an optimized system to do so Improved waste reduction. The

result of the study is by having an effective waste management strategy, you’ll show

them how to reduce their waste production, how to keep areas clean, and how to

recycle and building a more sustainable generation.

Significance of the study

This study is significant for the benefits offered to the following groups:

Students: This study will help students be aware of the issues concerning the

school’s environment that they would be sure to encounter. With the help of this

research, students will be able to gather information about the exercises of following

school regulations regarding wastes.

Parents/Guardians: This study will help them know if their child is being aware of

their surroundings and taking care of the environment inside the school. This will give
them the opportunity to guide their children to be sensible not only in the campus, but

also in any place they would find themselves in.

Teachers: With the help of this study, teachers will be able to determine if the 11-

C students are responsible enough to take care of themselves inside the classroom,

and could input regulations to make the school clean.
