Researchers validated an educational resource about microplastics in market fish in Medan, Indonesia, assessing it as suitable for use in science education to improve public environmental literacy.
Science Literacy Profile of High School Students: Implications of PBL Didactic Design on the Topic of Microplastics
This education research paper is not primarily about microplastic risks; it studies Indonesian high school students' scientific literacy after a problem-based learning curriculum using microplastics as a teaching topic, assessing students' ability to explain phenomena, evaluate investigations, and interpret data within the PISA framework.
Perception of water pollution among Malaysian university students: A case study
This Malaysian university survey found that students had moderate awareness of water pollution but limited understanding of its causes and consequences. Better environmental education about water pollution sources — including microplastics — is needed to build the informed citizenry required for effective pollution prevention.
Mobile Augmented Reality Games Towards Smart Learning City Environments: Learning Sustainability with the [Project’s Name] App
This study evaluated mobile augmented reality games as educational tools for teaching sustainability competencies in a smart learning city context, with one module addressing plastic pollution and microplastic awareness among urban residents and students.
Microplastics in Biosolids: Integrating Environmental Risk Assessment into Sustainability Engineering Education
Researchers argue that microplastics accumulating in wastewater biosolids and subsequently applied to agricultural land require a formal environmental risk assessment framework, and present a problem-based curriculum model embedding this framework into sustainability engineering education to prepare graduates for plastic pollution challenges.
Contextual Teaching and Learning in Learning Environmental Pollution: the Effect on Student Learning Outcomes
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.
PEPS-KL: An Ecoliteracy Intervention for Plastic Waste Management Education
Researchers implemented the PEPS-KL ecoliteracy intervention with 35 tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Takalar in South Sulawesi, using an ADDIE-structured, CBPR-based 6-hour program to improve plastic waste management knowledge and environmental awareness through experiential learning activities.
Investigasi Pengetahuan Dasar Tentang Bahaya Sampah Plastik pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar di Pulau Maitara, Maluku Utara
Researchers investigated basic plastic waste knowledge among elementary school students on Maitara Island in North Maluku, Indonesia, finding low awareness of the environmental hazards of plastic waste and highlighting the need for non-curricular environmental education in schools to reduce plastic pollution in coastal ecosystems including mangroves and coral reefs.
Investigating the knowledge, attitude and perception on microplastic pollution: a comparison between residents in Temerloh living in urban and rural areas
Researchers surveyed urban and rural residents of Temerloh, Malaysia, on their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of microplastic pollution, finding gaps in awareness that contribute to poor waste management behaviours and ongoing environmental contamination.
Efforts to Increase Public Awareness About Microplastic Hazards in Communities at the Coastal Beach of Padang
Community outreach activities in Padang, Indonesia, aimed to raise public awareness about the hazards of microplastics, particularly at coastal beaches where plastic waste accumulates. The study documents how environmental education programs can build local capacity for addressing plastic pollution.
Pembimbingan siswa SD sekitar lokasi pantai wisata Kastela untuk smart berplastik
Not relevant to microplastics research; this paper describes an educational program teaching Indonesian elementary school students about waste sorting and sustainable waste management through interactive play-based methods.
Pencegahan Pencemaran Lingkungan dari Limbah Plastik dengan Pelatihan Pembuatan Ecobrick
Researchers describe an ecobrick training program conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Sangasanga, an Adiwiyata school in Indonesia, aimed at reducing plastic waste pollution by teaching students to compact non-recyclable plastics into reusable building modules. The intervention sought to raise environmental awareness and integrate sustainable plastic waste management into school activities.
Integrating Community-Based Environmental Assessment into Engineering Education: A Case Study on Microplastics Distribution and River Discharge in Klang River
This case study describes engineering students sampling and analysing microplastics in the Klang River in Malaysia as a community-based environmental assessment project, integrating FTIR analysis, pollution data interpretation, and simulation tools. The pedagogical approach improved critical thinking and interdisciplinary skills while generating real environmental data.
Citizen_Labs – conception and evaluation of a course on plastic waste and microplastic in adult education
Researchers conceived and evaluated a citizen science laboratory course on plastic waste and microplastics for adult education, examining how experiential learning formats can raise environmental awareness and scientific literacy about plastic pollution among non-specialist participants.
Real action based on search solve create and share (SSCS) model to improve sustainability awareness of junior high school students
Researchers implemented a real-action project using the Search-Solve-Create-Share (SSCS) learning model with an education for sustainable development approach to improve sustainability awareness among 7th-grade students in Siak, Riau Province, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design comparing SSCS-taught and control classes found the model effective at enhancing student understanding of local environmental issues including water and air pollution.
Edukasi Bahaya Sampah Plastik Terhadap Ekosistem Perairan Pada Siswa Kelas I Min 32 Kecamatan Mesjid Raya Kabupaten Aceh Besar
This Indonesian paper describes educational outreach to elementary school students about the dangers of plastic waste to coastal and aquatic ecosystems. Educating children about microplastics and plastic pollution is an important long-term strategy for changing behavior to reduce environmental contamination.
