“…Case studies complement it for samples paired with quasi-experimental methods to determine whether alternative hypotheses of gender inequality in the way of value, as an assessment of academic performance, are acceptable between the two orientations of the taught subject (Arias et al, 2021;Townsend et al, 2019). The results showed that in the experimental group, higher motivation and studying higher scores, compared to the control group, found no statistically significant gender differences in academic performance (Soares et al, 2021).…”

Conventionally the social construction of a gender equality society can increase awareness of education in a patriarchal culture in Indonesia. The construction of gender equality and gender justice is carried out by people who have concerns about the role and work of women in particular and society in education. Top-down affirmations are carried out in various actions and gender equality movements. Women are the object of the equality movement to raise awareness and gender justice in the field of education. Along with the development of the times and in the era of digitalization as it is today, it can transform the paradigm of women's thinking. They actively participate in development through education. Although through various challenges and obstacles due to being in a patriarchal culture, the level of women is lower than men. This paper shows Gender Equality in Patriarchal Education and Culture, real theoretical challenges in improving gender equality, efforts to raise women's awareness of the importance of education, and the implementation of gender equality in education in the social context of society. This paper suggests the need for access and opportunity for women and public policies that are gender bias-oriented, involving women's participation and providing equitable benefits for women.

“…Cordier et al developed one worldwide socio-economic model to forecast the influence of lack of education plastic pollution by using the data of the World Bank and pointed out that the amount of inadequately managed plastic waste will decrease by 34% compared to the business-as-usual scenario (Cordier et al, 2021). Soares et al presented a study on the perceived importance of education and knowledge dissemination strategies on the mitigation of plastic pollution (Soares et al, 2021). This article is one of the few studies currently focusing on the pathway to minimize plastic pollution through environmental education.…”

“…This article is one of the few studies currently focusing on the pathway to minimize plastic pollution through environmental education. Additionally, the authors firstly pointed out environmental education should be included in the first 9 years of education (Soares et al, 2021). Undoubtedly, the contribution of these researches provides a permanent solution at low cost to plastic pollution from the perspective of environmental awareness and actual pro-environmental behavior.…”

“…Undoubtedly, the contribution of these researches provides a permanent solution at low cost to plastic pollution from the perspective of environmental awareness and actual pro-environmental behavior. In this paper, we discussed the value of education in solving plastic pollution inspired by the search of Cordier et al (2021); Soares et al (2021).…”

Environment education: A first step in solving plastic pollution

Plastic pollution has been today’s most highly visible environmental problem in the world. How to responsibly manage plastic waste to control and eliminate plastic pollution has been a global challenge. We have begun to address these issues and developed some science-based solutions and emerging technologies. However, tackling such an intractable challenge requires systematic solutions except for science-based and technology-based ones. Environmental education, fostering plastic pollution prevention within society’s educational system, will provide a powerful and feasible pathway at a low cost. Within this perspective, the value and the way forward of education in solving plastic pollution are primarily discussed. Environmental education, including school-level education for students, sustainable consumption behavior guidance, and pollution prevention education for the public, is the feasible, effective, and permanent resolution of plastic pollution in the future.

“…Indeed, there exist just a handful of research papers about plastics education, some of which focus on adults rather than children, and which tend to hone in on the relationship between knowledges about plastics and (very specific) behaviours (Kovács et al, 2020; Rudman and Rudman, 2021). Moreover, most papers focus on the capacity of different plastics education programmes, in schools, to disseminate knowledge about plastics pollution in a rather didactic sense (Schiffer et al, 2019; Soares et al, 2021). Nonetheless, and in line with recent systematic reviews of environmental education (Roussell and Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles, 2020), isolated papers identify programmes that extend to more inclusive, participatory, inquiry-based forms of plastics education (Dalu et al, 2020; Mironenko and Mironenko, 2020).…”

Articulating encounters between children and plastics

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the context of global concerns about plastics, this paper sets out and exemplifies a research agenda for articulating children’s encounters with plastics. The paper analyses data co-produced with 11–15 year-olds through interviews, app-based research and experimental/arts-led workshops. It moves beyond scholarship in health and environmental sciences, and in environmental education research, to outline a far richer range of ways to conceptualise children’s encounters with plastics, based in children’s everyday, embodied and emotive interactions with plastics.
