| Summary: | The main issue in this research is about primary school pupils’ environmental
awareness which has yet to achieve the prescribed objectives despite the
implementation of cross curriculum environmental education which has been
implemented in 1988. This research was carried out to (i) identify teachers’ views
about the effectiveness of the year 6 science curriculum in terms of pupils’ awareness
on the environment; (ii) study the knowledge, perceptions, attitudes and behavior
between urban and rural primary school pupils on environmental issues; (iii) review
the constraints that exist in preserving the environmental awareness among pupils
and (iv) develop a model to increase pupils’ awareness on the environment. The
research area for this research was the administration unit of Kulaijaya District
Education Office. There were 685 pupil respondents involved in this research
(questionnaire), 81 pupil respondents (interview), 58 administrator respondents and
225 parent respondents who were selected randomly. For 22 teacher respondents
they were selected based on purposive sampling. Quantitative and qualitative
methods were used in this research to obtain a more robust research result.
Researched data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for variable descriptions
and inferential statistical t-test, Person correlation, Spearman’s rho, multiple
regression and partial least square (PLS) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
As for qualitative data, they were analyzed manually. Research findings showed that
year 6 Science curriculum was not appropriate and needed improvement to meet the
current demands. Analyses of data on the knowledge, perception, attitudes, and
behavior showed no significant difference between school’s locations with each
producing t=1.005 (p≤.315); t=-1487 (p≤.137); t=-.687 (p≤.492) and t=1.413
(p≤.158). The data also showed that all constructs were related to each other and all r
values were at significant level of p≤0.01. The main constraints faced by the
implementers in school were the lack of funding, material, time, knowledge and
monitoring by top management. The environmental awareness model was
constructed based on results of this research, aimed at increasing the awareness of
pupils on the environment. SEM test showed that the model is coherent with the
observed data. This shows that this model is acceptable. In conclusion, the
cooperation between all stakeholders is significant in ensuring the enhancement of
pupils’ environment awareness. |
