Abstract

This study examined the level of awareness, knowledge and practices of secondary schools students with regard to waste management. Few studies have captured waste management problems in Nigerian educational institutions, particularly the views of students. Using a structured, self-administered questionnaire, 650 students were surveyed from six secondary schools in two of the four educational zones of Ogun State. Data collected were subjected to percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and chi-square statistical analyses. Findings revealed that secondary school students from the sampled zones were aware of waste problems on their school compounds, but possessed poor waste management practices. The study showed that propensity for waste management practices differ by sex, class and age of students. Significant relationships were observed between students‘ sex, age and class and their level of awareness, knowledge and practices of waste management.

Özet

Bu çalışmada ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin atık yönetimine ilişkin bilgi ve uygulamaları, farkındalık düzeyleri araştırılmıştır. Çok az çalışmada özellikle öğrencilere ile ilgili olarak Nijerya‘daki eğitim kurumlarında atık yönetimi sorununa değinilmiştir. Yapılandırılmış, hususi uygulanabilir bir anket ile Ogun eyaletindeki dört eğitim bölgesinin ikisinde bulunan altı ortaöğretim düzeyindeki 650 öğrenci araştırmaya katılmıştır. Toplanan verilerden yüzde, standart sapma, t-testi ve chi-square istatistiksel analizleri yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin okul yerleşkesinde atık sorunlarının farkında olduklarını fakat atık yönetimi uygulamaları konusunda yetersiz olduklarını göstermiştir. Çalışma atık yönetimi uygulamasının cinsiyet, sınıf düzeyi ve öğrencilerin yaşına bağlı olarak farklılaştığını göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin cinsiyeti, yaşı ve sınıf düzeyi ile onların farkındalık düzeyleri, bilgileri ve atık yönetimi uygulamaları arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
