The Implementation of 6M Based Waste Management Module to Support Adiwiyata School Program

Abstract

The present study aimed at improving the attitude and behavior of the students of SMPN 2 in waste management through the implementation of problem based learning (pbl) aided by 6M based waste management module. This study was a classroom action research (CAR), and the subjects of the study were 129 students. The problem based learning consisted of several stages, covering: the orientate the students to problems, ask the students to study, guide the students to individual and group investigation, develop and present the students' works which are supported by 6M based waste management module utilization that is able to change the students' attitude and behavior towards waste. The data of the students' attitude were collected through Likert scale, while the data of the students' behavior were collected through questionnaire. Other supported data were collected through observation. The data which were obtained from the attitude scale and the behavior checklist were analyzed by using N-gain score. The result of the study showed that the mean score of the students' attitude in cycle I was 79.8 increased into 88.5; while in cycle II increased from 78.0 into 92.0. The cycle I N-gain score increased from 0.4 (moderate) to 0.6 (moderate).The result of the study showed that the mean score of the students' behavior in cycle I was 50.6 increased into 56.2; while in cycle II increased from 59.2 into 81.9. The cycle I N-gain score increased from 0.1 (low) to 0.6 (moderate). Those means showed that the implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) strategy aided by 6M based waste management module can improve the students' attitude and behavior in managing wastes.

Peer-led theoretically Desinged HIV/AIDS prevention intervention among students: a case of health belief model

“…Various research projects confirm that the school setting can be the optimal place to access the largest number of teenagers. School is the right place to implement educational programs to counteract high-risk behavior before it is internalized in young people [ 19 ].…”

School-based peer-led diabetes intervention among female adolescents: a cluster randomized trial

“…Relying on the five senses, this method can shape adolescents’ thinking and develop their creativity [ 16 ]. Several studies provide evidence that school is the best setting to access adolescents as it is the location where educators can intervene to change high-risk behavior among adolescents [ 17 ]. Considering the ever-increasing rate of diabetes and the fact that type-2 diabetes is more prevalent among women than men (both in Iran and in the world) according to World Health Organization [ 18 ], and a comprehensive interventional study, which investigated all the behavioral risk factors of type 2 diabetes in adolescents, was not found, so the current study aimed at determining the effect of peer education on knowledge, health beliefs and preventive behaviors of type 2 diabetes in female adolescents in Tehran.…”

Students' Sustainable Waste Management Behaviors: Comparison Between Vocational and Public High School

“…Adiwiyata is an award given to schools that have successfully carried out environmental care and cultured movements in schools by the government, the provincial government, and the district / city government, schools movement is called the PBLHS Movement, one of which is waste management consisting of reduce, reuse and recycle (MENLHK, 2019;IPCC, 2013). The wastes-less-care culture, which is applied in Adiwiyata schools including the 6M concept, consisting of reducing, reusing, replacing, separating, recycling, and composting, which are considered as an excellent notion to overcome such behavior (Krisnawati et al, 2015). The waste management behaviors of students can play a significant role in tackling waste management problems by minimizing potential impacts on the environment (Matsui et al, 2007) furthermore for the future of this regency.…”
