CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The environment encompasses all things that surround every living thing. While
man is the most intelligent among the creatures on this planet, he is also the culprit of all
environment problems occurring at any sides of the world. With man’s desire for the
economic development, environmental problems and issues have cropped up.
Everybody is now facing the challenges of preserving life and how to sustain
culture and to survive. This is due to the impact of climate change related disasters.
Climate change is a critical global issue. The increase of temperature which is attributed
to human activity has brought widespread and unpredictable changes around the world.
Recent scientific studies reveal that human activities have contributed significantly to the
increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that causes climate change.
In recent years, scientists have been carefully examining the ways that people
affect the environment. They have found that we are causing air pollution, deforestation,
acid rain, and other problems that are dangerous both to the earth and to ourselves.
Nowadays, when you hear people talk about “the environment”, they are often referring
to the overall condition of our planet, or how healthy it is.
as we live we must take care of it. Global environmental problems of shrinking natural
resources, pollution and population growth challenge the ways people live. A habitable
environment makes it possible for humans to live comfortably. Though it depends on
how the people use and care for it.
People can protect the environment if they are mindful in conserving it. If they do
so, it increases the possibilities that they gain bountiful resources that they can use.
Though the environment help us save our lives, we must be thankful for it. Natural
disasters can be unpredictable, devastating and can cause irreparable damage. They can
cause huge loss of life and properties. Unlike the man-made disasters, these are the
effects of the careless attitude of people. The environment plays an important role in
saving our life like when we are suffering floods. The trees are the one who sip the water
that the rain falls onto the ground.
Be safe. Be aware. These was the common instruction that everyone usually hear
from each individual. Our surroundings are full of toxicities such as environmental
problems. These problems causes the people to be vulnerable to the harmful effects. One
may only be exempted to the harmful effects if we are aware to what is happening on our
surroundings.
Due to the unpredictable events, people encounter the natural disasters without
preparedness. Various program such as medias can help people to be notified for what’s
to come in an unexpected time. Through this program, people can be aware and get ready
for those unforeseen occurrence.
Almost all the people living all over the world, they must be informed that the
behaviors in nature is important to apply to their own self. Anyone can take the risk if
they don’t know the proper attitude and are not aware in maintaining the environmental
problems. People say that they know the right attitude in the environment but they’re all
just “talk with no walk”.
In protecting the environment, we can not only save our own lives but also the
others. Our ozone layer depletion caused by the human activities and inventions are one
of the factors that effects the lives of every individual here on our planet. We should be
aware and evade in being the cause of these poisonous substances.
In conclusion, the researchers will do their best in conducting the study about the
awareness of Senior High School STEM students in maintaining the environment at
Bauan Technical Highschool. It will be helpful to the people who have limited
knowledge about the topic.
This study was conducted because the researchers wanted to know the insights of
the SHS STEM students in Bauan Technical Highschool about the environmental
awareness. The researchers would like to know the extent of awareness of the
respondents. Lastly, the researchers want to assess every respondents’ perceptions of
awareness in maintaining the environment in public.

The General Objective of this research is to know the awareness of SHS STEM
students in maintaining the environment in Bauan Technical Highschool. The researchers
had come up with 4 specific objectives out of the general objective and these are as
follows: To determine the advantages and disadvantages of a clean environment based on
the respondents. To know the factors affecting the environment behaviour based on the
respondents. To determine the effects of their actions towards the environment. To
present a video that will make them reflect on the impact of each individual’s action
towards the environment.
Definition of terms:
Utilization. Utilization is the action of using something, i.e., making practical and

According to Chealsea et. al (2012) that in the objectives of EE, education should
help learners value the environment hence getting motivated in making appropriate
environmental decision and later on taking action in addressing environmental concerns.
This is because change in students‘ behavior has much to do with change in attitude.
Sarkar (2011) cited that the participation is the point of action towards
environmental protection. It is the final stage in EE conceptual framework depicting and
informed citizenry with capacity to make informed decisions and take action. Effective
participation process should be creative and flexible drawing on the wide array of
approaches and methods.

Rogayan (2019) reiterated that the earth is now suffering from innumerable
afflictions at present caused by egregious human activities that relentlessly denuding the
environment. The challenge for everybody is to take the wheel of action and move
towards a common cause in preserving life on earth.
According to Sivamoorthy, Nalini & Satheesh Kumar (2013) that the growing
concern with environmental issues and their impact on general awareness is one of the
most noticeable phenomena of the last two decades. Marpa and Juele (2016) said that the
rapid depletion of the earth’s natural resources and the fast degrading environment are the
realities which can no longer be denied.
Woodgate (2012) indicated that the awareness of environmental issues has grown
tremendously over the last decade as modern science and more globally conscious
population continues to enlighten the connection between a healthy planet and
livelihoods of people everywhere. The connection has arguably been undermined by
population growth, urbanization and land area loss, creating a potential divide between
people and the natural environment. Through contact with and learning about natural
areas we can begin to mend this disconnection and restore our balance with nature.
Environmental education (EE) has the potential to facilitate awareness that leads to this
connection.
become not only how much do students know about environment? but also what are their
attitudes towards environmental quality?
Puri and Joshi (2017) indicated that the environmental education is a process
aimed at developing a world population that is aware of and concerned about the total
environment and its associated problems and which has the knowledge, attitudes,
commitments and skills to work individually and collectively towards the solution of
current problems and prevention of new ones.

Gonzaga (2017) cited that people’s awareness has been recognized as a powerful
tool in environmental sphere. Information through education has an important impact to
alter behaviour.
According to Marpa and Juele (2016) that in the Philippines, studies focused on
the environmental awareness and practices of high school students as basis for disaster
preparedness program. The level of awareness and extent of practices in green
technology and the environmental awareness of the graduating college students.
According to Yurtta and Sülün (2010) that the cities have been driving forces in
economic and social development as centers of industry and commerce. The World Bank
estimates that in the developing world, as much as 80 percent of future economic growth
will occur in towns and cities. Yet along with the benefits of urbanization come
environmental concerns. These include a diversity of problems, from lack of access to
clean drinking water, to urban air pollution, to greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of

According to Sivamoorthy, Nalini and Kumar (2013); Sharma (2016) that several
studies have been conducted to gauge the environmental awareness and practices of
students in various levels. Foreign studies have focused mainly on the environmental
awareness and practices of college students.
Mondal and Mete (2010) cited that the status of environmental awareness among
1000 secondary school students residing either in rural or urban areas. As efforts to
intensify EE in schools through multidisciplinary approach have continued to increase
over the years, a varied feedback has been received regarding students‘ level of
awareness, attitudes and participation in environmental activities.
Redclift and Woodgate (2013) indicated that the result of socioeconomic, cultural
and biophysical difference between the different urban settlements, it is no longer
obvious that all urban students are advantaged as postulated by studies that modeled rural
versus urban comparison. This necessitates the need to establish the relationship across
these divides in an urban set up. This is essential in establishing the special and unique
characteristics and features of various divides in order to determine how best to use EE to
address environmental problems in different divides. This study thus looks at the level of

Synthesis
The literature's further explain what environmental awareness are. In this literature,
different kinds of environmental awareness are shown.
The study of Gonzaga was similar to this study for awareness has been recognized as
a powerful tool in the environment’s preservation. Enough amount of information may
bring a drastic change to the way people treat the environment.
The studies of Marpa and Juele are similar to the present study in a way that both are
focused in maintaining the environmental awareness and practices of high school
students. It was known that showing environmental awareness in an early age would help
one to be a better individual and better adult in the making.

In the study of Yurtta and Sulun, the increasing concerns together with the rising of
economic advancement becomes alarmingly high that pursuing the protection of the
environment also becomes challenging. The study conducted by the present researchers
would also like to inform this concerns regarding our environment.
Ziadat’s study was similar to the researcher’s present study because assessing the
environmental awareness of the people would help result to straightening their
problematic environmental attitudes.
The studies of Sivamoorthy et. al and this present study focuses mainly on the
environmental awareness but with SHS students as the respondents instead of college
students.
Mondal and Mete’s study is similar to the present study in a way that both focuses on
the status of environmental awareness of students.
The study of Redclift and Woodgate’s is similar to this study for both look at the
level of environmental awareness, attitude and participation of secondary school students.
The study conducted by Penny Singh is similar to the present researcher’s study in
terms of enhancing the learning and awareness through assessment. A student’s
participation and emotional understanding of the current situations and problems will
further give the students an insider’s perspective into developing a more positive and
disciplined attitude to counter the present environment’s concerns caused by
undisciplined environmental behavior

and information that they will use for the entire study. It describes who were the
respondents and what will be the focus of the research. This also shows the procedure in
data collection, the instrument used and how the data collected were analyzed.
Research Design
Relatively, this design is appropriate for this study because it aims to know the
awareness of Senior High School STEM Students responsible in maintaining the
environment.
Research Local
The study will be conducted in the the Bauan Technical High School because the
repondents are the students studying in the said school. The respondents will be
interviewed inside the campus where the researchers will observe the actions acted upon
by the respondents. The study will be conducted in the second semester of the academic
year 2019-2020.
The respondents of the study are the STEM Students in BTHS. They were chosen
through availability sampling. It is a non-probability sampling technique where subjects
are selected because of their convenient accessibility and proximity to the researcher.
Furthermore, availability sampling is a statistical method of drawing representative data
