CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
The environment is something everyone’s familiar with. It's everything that
makes up the surroundings and affects the ability to live on the earth—the air
everyone breathe, the water that covers most of the earth's surface, the plants
and animals around the surface, and much more. It has a corresponding way of
how they protect this natural resources. They are the ones who take the
responsibility in maintaining the beauty of the environment.
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.

2
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.
The environment is the natural world, as a whole or in a particular
geographical area, especially as affected by human activity. Many species live in
this natural world and 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.
Our Mother Earth is currently facing lot of environmental concerns.
The environmental problems like global warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban
sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change
and many more affect every human, animal and nation on this planet. Over the
last few decades, the exploitation of our planet and degradation of our
environment have gone up at an alarming rate. As our actions have been not in
favor of protecting this planet, we have seen natural disasters striking us more
often in the form of flash floods, tsunamis and cyclones.
Preservation is a biocentric dimension that reflects conservation and
protection of the environment. Individuals with this type of environmental attitude
place priority on preserving nature in its initial state. These individuals are often
keen on protecting nature from any human use or alteration.
Utilization is an anthropocentric dimension that reflects the utilization of
natural resources. An individual with this environmental attitude believe that it is

right and appropriate for natural resources to be tapped on for human use and
alteration.
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”.
To sum it all, environment is a very important matter to everyone which
makes it easy to say that all of the people are taking care of their surroundings in
order to reap more productive benefits from it and use it for maintaining their
everyday lives.
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 researchers assume that the SHS STEM students in Bauan Technical
Highschool will much determine the outcome on this research study. This
research intends to help the future researchers who are going to conduct the
same research.
This research is important to conduct for it can help SHS STEM students
in Bauan Technical Highschool to be aware of the environmental attitude of each
individual. This study is more beneficial to the following persons:
Students. They can get lessons from this research as an additional
information to their own insights.
Adults. This research can help them to act as a good model and spread
awareness to the younger ones.
Teachers. This research can be their guideline or it can serve as their
basis in teaching the right attitude to their students.
Parents. This study will help them to have some tips as they give advice
and guide their children.
Barangay Officials. This research serves as their reference in
maintaining the surroundings of their own barangay.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). This
study helps their organization in more effective supervising of development,
utilization, and conservation of the country’s natural resources.
Future Researchers. This may help the future researchers or other
students who wish to conduct the same study. This can be served as their
guidelines and to answer some aspects that not have been tackled and
investigated yet.
The study will only focus on the awareness of SHS STEM students in
maintaining the environment in Bauan Technical Highschool. It will not discuss
any other kinds of attitudinal problems.
This study covers only the SHS STEM students in Bauan Technical
Highschool. The study does not include the SHS STEM students of other
schools.
Objective of the Study:
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:
Climate Change. A change in global or regional climate patterns, in
particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and
attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced
by the use of fossil fuels.
Air pollution. It is the presence in or introduction into the air of a
substance which has harmful or poisonous effects.
Deforestation. It is the clearance, clear cutting or clearing is the removal
of a forest or stand of trees from land which is then converted to a non-forest
use. Deforestation can involve conversion of forest land to farms, ranches, or
urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests.
Acid rain. It is a broad term that includes any form
of precipitation with acidic components, such as sulfuric or nitric acid that fall to
the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms. This can include rain, snow,
fog, hail or even dust that is acidic.
Geographical area. It refers to a position on the Earth. It is defined by two
coordinates, longitude and latitude. These two coordinates can be used to give
specific locations independent of an outside reference point. 8
Natural disasters. Natural disasters are catastrophic events with

atmospheric, geological, and hydrological origins (e.g., droughts, earthquakes,
floods, hurricanes, landslides) that can cause fatalities, property damage and
social environmental disruption
Attitude. An attitude is a positive; negative or mixed evaluation of an
object that is expressed at some level of intensity. It is an expression of a
favorable or unfavorable evaluation of a person, place, thing or event. These are
fundamental determinants of our perceptions of, and actions toward all aspects
of our social environment.
Preservation. Preservation is the act of maintaining, protecting or keeping
something in existence.
Ozone Layer Depletion. The ozone layer in the
upper atmosphere caused by the release of chemical compounds containing
gaseous chlorine or bromine from industry and other human activities. The
thinning is most pronounced in the polar regions, especially over Antarctica.
Utilization. Utilization is the action of using something, i.e., making
practical and effective use of it. Put simply; the term refers to the use of
something or the process of using it effectively.
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter is designed to gain information about the awareness in
maintaining the environment in Public. This chapter presents profound review
of the related literature and studies which are found relevant in discerning the
awareness of Grade 11 Senior High School STEM Students in Maintaining the
Environment in Public.
Related Literatures

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.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (2016) that one of the
objectives of the Science education in the Philippines is to develop students who
are environmentally-conscious and ecological-friendly. The month of June of
each year is declared as the Philippine Environment Month by virtue of
Presidential Proclamation No. 237 signed in 1998 by then President Corazon C.
Aquino. During the celebration, various important events are being celebrated
such as the World Environment Day on June 5, Philippine Eagle Week on June
4-10 and Philippine Arbor Day on June 25.

Ogunjinmi (2012) said that an individual‘s personal evaluations are more
revealing of the person‘s attitude than what he or she claims to do. Attitudes are
favorable or unfavorable feelings toward a characteristic of the physical
environment or toward a related problem and are therefore directly related to
behavioral change. Behavioral change which is paramount in addressing
environmental challenges is a function of change in behavioral intentions.
According to Kulasekera (2012) that the environmental attitudes are
related to environmental problems. Environmental attitudes have been defined as
―the collection of beliefs, affect, and behavioral intentions a person holds
regarding environmentally related activities or issues.
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.
Foreign
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.
According to Woodgate (2012) that understanding the basis of
environmental attitudes to facilitate environmental behavior is advantageous,
since a clear goal of environmental education is to change behavior. For
educators, the question should 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.
Honabarger (2011) reiterated that the environmental awareness of
students was not adequately translated to pro-environmental behavior. It was
reported that consumers who acknowledge awareness of environmental issues
still do not take steps to purchase environmental friendly products. The study
later bridged the gap between environmental awareness and environmental
behavior through eco-labels, text, or both, over cleaning products.
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 rapid population growth,
competing demands of economic growth and environmental protection is a major
challenge.
Ziadat (2010) cited that to understand environmental attitudes, the level of
knowledge possessed by the population under observation concerning the
severity of environmental problems, their reaction to and their interactions with
nature must be ascertained by assessing environmental awareness.
Foreign
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.
Gihar (2011) studied the environmental responsibility among prospective
teachers of Ghaziabad District of Uttar Pradesh. The study revealed no
significant difference between rural and urban prospective teachers regarding
environmental responsibility, whereas female prospective teachers have scored
significant higher mean values on all the dimensions of Environmental
Responsibility Assessment Inventory.

14
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
environmental awareness, attitude and participation among secondary school
students in Kasarani and Kibera Divisions.
Penny Singh (2013) conducted a study on environmental Education:
Enhancing Learning and Awareness through Assessment. The major findings of
the study were Awareness of environmental issues among Environmental
Education students and the community at large, this study situated assessments
within communities of practice around the university. Using action engagement
within action research students had to work with insiders from the community to
identify, formulate action or intervention plans and find solutions to problem

situations in the community. Using action engagement within action research in
this study definitely enhanced student's knowledge of their community's
problems. Their personal involvement and the cyclical approach adopted,
enhanced students' emotional understanding and gave them an insider
perspective into the situations and problems that required intervention; and trust
was built between the students and members of the community as they worked
together to accomplish a common goal.
Synthesis
The different studies presented above contributed to the development of the
presented study. Discussion of differences as well as similarities with the present
research were presented below.
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.
16
According to the study of Honabarger, environmental awareness and
environmental behavior have a huge gap between each other in which this
current study would like to address to and bring about to the future researchers
and readers of this study.
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

Chapter III
Research Methodology
This chapter discusses and describes how the researchers gathered the
necessary data 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
This research is qualitative in nature. Phenomenological research is
associated with naturalistic inquiry and deals with the issue of human complexity
by exploring it directly. It emphasizes the ability of humans to shape and direct
their own experiences. Naturalistic investigations emphasize understanding the
human experience through the collection and analysis of qualitative materials
that are narrative and subjective. The findings from this type of study are based
on real life experiences of people with first-hand knowledge of the phenomenon
or situation.
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 19
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.
Participants of the Study
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 by selecting people either by volunteering
or selecting units because of their availability or easy access. This method is
chosen by the researchers because of the availability and the quickness with
which data can be gathered.
Data Collection
Since the researchers used phenomenological research approach, they
are tasked to observe and interview their respondents. In order to obtain and
gather data about the study, the researchers used two methods; observation and
interviewing. The researchers will give out questionnaires for the purpose of
interviewing the respondents to know the awareness of Senior High School in
maintaining the environment and a checklist to observe the awareness of Senior

High School in maintaining the environment. 20
