Recycling is one of the effective methods for reducing the negative impact of plastic waste to the environment. It is expected that the youth could play a role, to be responsible for managing plastic waste. The purpose of this research is to analyse the influence of demography factor and recycling education on the vocational high school students' perception toward plastic recycling activities. This research employed a quantitative approach of one group pre-test and post-test design using a case study in mechanical engineering class of a Vocational High School in the city of Surakarta, Indonesia. The data collection technique was carried out through questionnaire distributed amount 31 students. Statistical data analysis was used to describe students' perceptions and test the hypothesis of the effect of recycling education on students' perceptions of sorting waste for recycling. The recycling education was performed in 2 (two) sessions in which the first session covered the theory of plastic recycling. In the second session, the students were asked to use an injection moulding machine to recycle plastic into a simple product of a, key chains. The study indicated the recycling education significantly affects the student' perception in managing plastic waste for recycling purpose. It is found a notable difference between the students' post-test and pre-test score after attending the recycling education program.

This study was conducted using a qualitative approach as it aimed to evaluate the Science and Art Center Science Curriculum (SACSC), which was updated in 2020, within the framework of the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) approach by taking the opinions of science teachers working in Science and Art Centers (SACs) in Turkey. The data were collected according to the qualitative data collection method and a structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. The findings showed that science teachers working in SACs have generally negative views on SACSC based on the context dimension of the CIPP Model, while their views are generally positive based on input, process, and product dimensions. Based on the results of the research, it is recommended to conduct other comparative studies between the SACSC and similar curricula in other countries in order to reveal the relationship between the program components and the needs of children and society.
