Waste Management in Aurelio Arago Memorial National High School:

Empowering Students Through Perception

Effective waste management is a cornerstone of environmental responsibility.

It's a multi-faceted process encompassing the treatment of solid waste, the recovery of

valuable resources, and the crucial task of minimizing overall waste generation.

Responsible waste management practices benefit everyone, from individual

households to businesses and institutions, and schools are no exception. In fact,

schools play a vital role in fostering a culture of environmental awareness and

sustainability among future generations.

A 2015 study titled "A Study on Waste Disposal Practices" underscores the

ongoing challenge of waste disposal. Public awareness of the amount of waste

generated in homes and institutions remains low. This lack of awareness hinders the

implementation of effective waste management practices. Waste management,

however, is intricately linked to both technological advancements and social

development. As societies progress and waste generation becomes more complex,

innovative solutions and a shift in social attitudes are required to effectively address

this growing concern.

At Aurelio Arago Memorial National High School, a critical gap exists in

understanding student perceptions of the waste disposal practices implemented by the

Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG). Prior research in this area is non-

existent. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating student views on the

effectiveness of the SSLG's waste disposal programs. By capturing student


perspectives, the study hopes to gain valuable insights that can be used to develop

targeted interventions. These interventions, in turn, will contribute to improving the

overall effectiveness of the school's waste management system.

Students themselves have a legal responsibility to ensure a well-functioning

waste management system within their school. This legal responsibility translates

into a real opportunity for student empowerment. By actively participating in waste

management efforts, students develop a sense of ownership and accountability for

their environment. Schools that successfully integrate students into waste

management initiatives not only foster a sense of environmental responsibility but

also cultivate valuable skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership.

Schools are increasingly recognized as environmental role models within their

communities. Implementing efficient waste management systems is crucial to

fulfilling this responsibility. The diverse types of waste generated in schools present a

unique challenge. Paper and cardboard, for instance, make up a significant portion of

school waste. Recycling these materials offers numerous benefits, including cost

savings, resource conservation, and enhancing the school's eco-friendly image. By

prioritizing waste reduction, reuse, and recycling efforts, schools can significantly

reduce their environmental footprint and serve as a positive example for the wider

community.

Effective waste disposal is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy

learning environment. A clean and healthy environment not only reduces the risk of
illness but also fosters a more positive and productive learning atmosphere for

students.

This study will investigate student perceptions of the waste disposal

management practices implemented by the SSLG at Aurelio Arago Memorial

National High School. It will specifically address the following questions:

1. How do students perceive the implementation of waste disposal practices by

the Supreme Secondary Learner Government?

2. What values are promoted by Aurelio Arago Memorial National High

School regarding proper waste disposal?

This study aims to assess student perceptions of waste disposal management at

Aurelio Arago Memorial National High School. It will focus on:

1. Investigating student perceptions of how the Supreme Secondary Learner

Government implements waste disposal practices.

2. Identifying the values promoted by Aurelio Arago Memorial National High

School regarding proper waste disposal.

This study explores student perceptions of waste disposal management at

Aurelio Arago Memorial National High School, utilizing a method called photovoice.

Photovoice empowers participants to document their experiences and perspectives

through photography. This approach can be particularly insightful when investigating

social issues such as waste management. By analyzing student-generated


photographs, the study can gain a deeper understanding of student perceptions

regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the school's current waste disposal

practices.

The findings from this study hold significance for various stakeholders:

Students and facilitators of Aurelio Arago Memorial National High School:

By promoting effective waste management practices, the study contributes to

environmental protection, student health and well-being, and a more positive learning

environment.

Future researchers: This study can serve as a valuable reference point for

future research on similar topics, particularly those exploring student perceptions of

environmental issues through photovoice methodology.

Scope and Limitations

This study will employ photovoice to investigate student perceptions of waste

disposal management at Aurelio Arago Memorial National High School. The

participants will be junior high school students randomly selected, with one student

chosen from each grade level. This approach ensures a representative sample of

student voices while acknowledging the limitations of a smaller sample size.
