THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROMOTING PROPER

WASTE DISPOSAL POLICY TO THE GARBAGE

DISPOSAL HABITS ADOPTED BY SENIOR HIGH
SCHOOL STEM STUDENTS OF BENTHEL ASIA

GROUP 3
Introduction
Improper waste management persistently lingers to be an underlying issue
affecting the environmental health of educational institutions in the country. Several
studies have presented empirical data concerning the partial failure of implementing
and promoting proper waste disposal practices to students.

The vitality of evaluating whether proper waste disposal practices are profitably
observed within the premises is being able to determine its benefits and drawbacks
to the environment and the people. This enables current and future researchers to
gain knowledge and information essential for the development of more improved and
advanced research studies in this matter.
Theoretical Framework
Conceptual Framework
Research Questions

• What is the purpose of Proper Waste Disposal Policy?

• What is the importance of promoting Proper Waste Disposal Policy in
educational institutions?
• How beneficial is Proper Waste Disposal Policy in addressing improper
waste management?
Significance of the Study
Grade 12 Senior High School STEM Learners of Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc.
This study will be most beneficial for them in developing self-discipline in maintaining the
environment clean. With that, they can help raise awareness to other learners who are not
practicing proper waste disposal.
Grade 12 Senior High School STEM Teachers of Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc.
This study will help them have a better understanding of the importance of promoting proper
waste disposal policy to learners. It will aid them in imposing proper waste disposal practices, to
be strictly complied within the premises of the institution.
Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc. This study will benefit the institution and its
constituents by having a cleaner and safer environment within the perimeter, that can possibly be
instrumental to the eradication of any health or environmental issues caused by poor waste
disposal.
Future Researchers. This study will enable future researchers to gain more knowledge about
the effectiveness of promoting proper waste disposal policy to learners, and to acknowledge
potential disciplinary actions—to be implemented during the study.
Scope and Delimitation
The focal point of this research is the effectiveness of promoting proper waste disposal policy to the
Senior High School Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics learners. In this study, the
researchers will examine how the learners can execute proper waste disposal practices, within the school
premises, by occasionally observing their conduct within a specific time frame. This will be the researchers’
guide to obtain a reliable outcome. It contains information of the respondent’s perception on the promotion
of proper waste disposal policy and its effectiveness in influencing learners to observe and execute its
practices.

This study will take place in Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc. Sudtunggan, Basak, Lapu-Lapu,

Cebu that offers Senior High School Education with different strands. The researchers will conduct

interview to chosen learners from the Grade 12 STEM strand.

Research Methodology
Design
This research used quasi-experimental methods to gather the necessary data intended for the
fulfillment of this study. This design is comprised of studies that aim to evaluate interventions on
target population without using randomization. In quantitative research, the goal is to learn about
social issues and conditions by observing situations or events directly. Quantitative methods are
used to measure, describe and explain these situations. This research produces objective data
that can be clearly communicated through statistics and numbers.

Therefore, the researches opted to utilize quasi-experimental as the basis of this study to
determine the habits of Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics students
regarding proper waste management within the set time frame. It is notably important to use this
design as it properly constructed the data gathered to support this research, as well as to prove
the hypothesis. Through the aforementioned instruments, the researchers will be able to obtain
necessary information on the waste disposal practices that the learners observe within the school
premises.
Respondents
In selecting the research subjects, researchers used the purposive sampling
method with specific criteria to choose only those learners who were currently
enrolled in Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc. under the Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics track. Therefore, the researchers will particularly
focus on observing majority of the learners belonging to the four sections under the
said strand. Thus, a total of 100 subjects are expected to participate.
Locale

The researchers particularly chose the Grade 12 Science, Technology,

Engineering, and Mathematics learners as respondents of this study. All of the

respondents are from Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc. It is located at

Peninsula Place, Sudtunggan Road, Basak, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines.

Instrument
For data gathering purposes, specialized research instruments were developed, adopted and

modified. In respect of transparency and clarity, the details and objectives of the utilized

instruments were presented to the student-respondents, the teachers, and the school

administration for endorsement—as indicated in the permission letter. Privacy of details and

information is guaranteed through ensuring the protection of data gathered in a confidentiality

agreement.

In this study, the researchers opted to use the observation type of instrument. The

researchers formulated a set of standards, with regard to the suitable waste disposal practices

in a school setting, as a basis for acquiring results. The purpose of this is to evaluate whether

the target population acts accordingly.

Data Analysis

All the collected data will be analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics. In particular, the

frequencies and percentages techniques will be used. Descriptive statistics are a set of procedures to

summarize numerical data where a large number of observed values are reduced to a few numbers

(Schreiber and Asner-self). All data gathered will be kept strictly confidential. Observations will be

conducted to acquire the data needed.

The data collected will serve as the basis of this study to determine the effectiveness of promoting

proper waste disposal policy to Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

students of Benthel Asia School of Technology, Inc.
