Contextual Teaching and Learning in Learning Environmental Pollution: the Effect on Student Learning Outcomes
Summary
This study evaluated contextual teaching and learning approaches for environmental pollution education, finding that connecting plastic pollution and waste concepts to real-world situations significantly improved student comprehension and motivation compared to conventional instruction.
Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a learning concept helps teachers relate subject concepts to real-world situations and student engagement to find materials learned and connect in everyday life. This study aims to determine the influence of CTL to improve student learning outcomes on environmental pollution materials during pandemics. The research was conducted at Manokwari Advent Junior High School in April-May 2021. The sample of learning grade VII A (experimental class) number of learners as many as 22 people and grade VII B (control class) the number of learners 20 people. This research method was quasi-experimentation with a nonequivalent control group design, an instrument used in research in the form of cognitive tests in the form of multiple choice. Analysis of data mechanisms used in the study was a normality test, homogeneity testing, and followed by hypothesis testing using the SPSS IMB 20 mentoring program. After the test was obtained, the results of the learning class experimental have an average post-test of 86.25, while the value of the post-test control class is 45.25; then, it can be concluded that the CTL model can improve the learner learning outcomes

Waste Education in Teacher Training: Exploring the Role of Context in Shaping Perceptions and Didactic Approaches
This study examined how 130 future teachers perceived and approached waste issues when framed through two socio-environmental contexts: international waste export and microplastic pollution in nature. Both contexts fostered systemic thinking, but each shaped distinct attributions of responsibility and different pedagogical approaches, highlighting the importance of context in environmental education design.
Raising environmental awareness: evaluating microplastic education interventions in Jakarta’s high schools
Researchers found that hands-on, interactive teaching methods work better than traditional lectures for helping high school students understand microplastic pollution (tiny plastic particles that can harm our health and environment). However, actually changing students' attitudes and behaviors about plastic use may require longer, more comprehensive programs. This matters because educating young people effectively about microplastics could help reduce plastic pollution that ends up in our food and water.
Knowledge of ecological concepts, environmental concern, and ecological behavior: A multiple correlation analysis
This education study examined the relationship between ecological knowledge, environmental concern, and pro-environmental behavior in students. Environmental education that increases knowledge about plastic pollution and microplastics is associated with greater concern and more sustainable behaviors.
Measuring Individual Pro-Environmental Behavior Transformation: Contextualizing Individual Learning Behavior
This experimental study tested whether showing students videos or pictorial materials on environmental catastrophes effectively changed their pro-environmental behavior. The study assesses educational interventions as tools for driving behavioral change on environmental issues like plastic pollution.
Impacts of Education and Perception on Vietnamese High School Students' Behaviors Regarding Plastic Waste : The Mediating Role of Attitude
A study in Vietnam analyzed how education and perception influence plastic waste behaviors among high school students, with environmental attitude serving as a mediating factor. The findings suggest that improving environmental knowledge and attitude formation is key to changing plastic disposal behaviors in young people.
