Study Notes

Introduction

Research paper on the role of SACS High School employees in reducing plastic usage
Presented to St. Alphonsus Catholic School, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Inc., Junior High School
In partial fulfillment of English 10 requirements
Authors: Yoau L. Ali, Maritt Ingrid P. Amoin, Yvaine Raudelle F. Apilan, Chloe Monnique Baccay, Emmanuel Jay A. Berdin, Zeke Mari O. Bering, Jeff Andrey P. Juranes, Franz Gabriel R. Omega, Janel Jane G. Paquibot, Dave Mathieu Z. Remata, and Jeth Anthony V. Tumulak

Chapter 1: The Problem and the Scope

Studies show students' roles in reducing plastic, but few studies focus on employee roles
Plastic's widespread use, durability, and versatility impact daily life
Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, creating environmental challenges
Plastic pollution affects wildlife and human health through soil and water contamination, as animals mistake plastic for food
Traditional approaches to reducing plastic waste, focusing on technical solutions, are insufficient
Human behavior plays a crucial role in addressing plastic waste
Public awareness of plastic's environmental impact is high, but ingrained habits, social norms, and situational factors influence consumption and disposal behaviors

The importance of educating students on Solid Waste Management (SWM) in developing countries facing rapid urban growth is highlighted
A lack of practical education from teachers prevents students from implementing sustainable practices.
Teacher training in SWM is vital to develop sustainable attitudes in students
Awareness and practices of students and staff about solid waste management at a Catholic school in the Philippines were evaluated
Education is critical to change attitudes and behaviors regarding plastic waste reduction.
Creating school waste management programs promoting cleaner and more sustainable campuses are recommended.
Strict enforcement of local policies (e.g., plastic bag bans) plays a vital role in reducing their usage
The study emphasized the importance of awareness, education, and the development of effective waste management programs

Chapter 3: Research Methodology

A descriptive quantitative study using a survey on SACS High School employees
Assessing the roles of employees in reducing plastic usage (e.g., actions taken, benefits gained, challenges faced, strategies for promoting responsible plastic use)
The survey intends to collect data from the campus employees on their perspectives in the use of plastic materials
Recruitment is optional with fair procedures and assurance of anonymity
The researchers will use Slovin's Formula to ascertain the needed sample size
The approach will also use multiple response questionnaires through an online survey
Ethical considerations and data treatment, including weighted mean and simple percentage calculations, will be addressed to ensure valid and reliable analysis

Survey Questions (Examples)

What benefits do employees gain from reducing plastic use? (e.g. Cleaner environment, reduced waste, positive role model)
Which areas should employees focus on to reduce plastic use more effectively? (e.g., classrooms, school events, canteen)
Should SACS High School increase education and awareness campaigns about plastic waste?

Additional Information

Operational definitions of terms (e.g., plastic, usage, benefit, environment issues), were provided, clarifying the meanings of particular words used within the study
The researchers aim to identify the practical steps employees can take to minimize plastic waste and promote sustainability
The research outcomes aim to generate insightful impacts on the students and employees
