摘要:This study was done to explore elementary school children’s waste consciousness
at NES and NonNES. The pupil’s consciousness was viewed from three aspects:
knowledge, attitude, and action in relation to waste and its management. The study
involved 647 elementary school pupils in Denpasar city, Bali, Indonesia. The data
were collected using questionnaire, interview, and observation. The question
coverage covers 1) the types of solid waste and the colors of the garbage bins for
them, 2) waste management actions taken at school, 3) waste management
difficulties faced at school, 4) pupils’ attitudes when seeing an inappropriate waste
disposal behavior, and 5) actions taken to reuse waste at school. The data were
analyzed through qualitative and percentage analysis. The result showed that
pupils’ consciousness of the NES and those of the others do not differ much.
Hence, the winning of the National Eco-School reputation does not guarantee the
possession of a higher level of waste consciousness of the pupils than that of those
who come from other schools.
