Peningkatan Pengetahuan Masyarakat tentang Bahaya Paparan Mikroplastik dan Dampaknya bagi Kesehatan
Researchers conducted a community education intervention at a university in Indonesia to increase public knowledge about the hazards of microplastic exposure and its health impacts, providing information about microplastic sources in everyday products including clothing, toys, and food. The study aimed to improve health literacy around microplastic risks among community members with limited prior awareness of this emerging environmental contaminant.
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.
Navigating through ocean literacy gaps: an analysis of elementary school textbooks in Croatian education
This paper is not about microplastics — it analyzes Croatian elementary school textbooks to evaluate how well ocean literacy principles and concepts are integrated across grades and subjects.
Scientific literacy through Problem-Based Learning focusing on the occurrence and consequences of microplastics in the environment
Researchers implemented a Problem-Based Learning approach to develop scientific literacy skills in students by focusing on the occurrence and environmental consequences of microplastics. The study, conducted in a Portuguese-language educational context, used microplastics as a real-world science topic to cultivate critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making competencies.
Edukasi Bahaya Sampah Plastik pada Perairan dan Biota Laut di Sekolah Alam, Pantai Bajulmati, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur
This paper describes an environmental education project at a nature school in East Java, Indonesia, focused on teaching children about the dangers of plastic waste in marine environments. Public education is considered an important strategy for building long-term behavior change around plastic use and disposal.
Identification of microplastics in fish from the local fish market of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia
This study identified microplastics in fish sold at a local market in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, finding plastic particles in multiple species across fiber, fragment, and film forms. The detection of microplastics in commercially sold fish raises food safety concerns for consumers who regularly eat locally caught seafood.
What are the valuable lessons from global research on environmental literacy in the last two decades? A systematic literature review
This paper is not about microplastics; it is a systematic literature review of global research on environmental literacy in education over the past two decades, analyzing publication trends and teaching approaches.
Igarapés como espaço educacional não formal para estudantes de uma escola pública no interior do Estado do Amazonas, Brasil
This paper describes a Brazilian educational project that used polluted and unpolluted local streams as outdoor classrooms to teach high school students about water pollution, including microplastics, through hands-on inquiry. While microplastic education is a component, the paper is primarily focused on pedagogy rather than reporting original microplastic research findings.
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.
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.
Fish—To Eat or Not to Eat? A Mixed-Methods Investigation of the Conundrum of Fish Consumption in the Context of Marine Pollution in Indonesia
Researchers investigated the dilemma of fish consumption in Indonesia amid marine pollution, using mixed methods to explore sociodemographic factors and perceptions that influence whether people continue eating fish despite contamination concerns.
Designing an Informative Pop-Up Book about Microplastic Particles for 8-13 Years Old Children
Indonesian designers created an interactive pop-up book about microplastics aimed at children aged 8–13 to address the lack of plastic waste education in schools. The project aims to raise environmental awareness and encourage responsible behavior from an early age.
Increasing knowledge and awareness of microplastic pollution in United States middle school students in a hybrid-classroom setting through science education
Researchers assessed microplastic pollution knowledge and awareness among middle school students in the United States, finding significant gaps in understanding of microplastic sources, pathways, and human health implications. The study highlights an educational opportunity and suggests targeted curriculum integration could improve scientific literacy around plastic pollution in younger generations.
Science-Learning Strengthening Model in Islamic Educational Institution: Case Study at MAN 1 Yogyakarta
This case study examines science education practices at an Islamic high school in Indonesia, exploring how the institution strengthens science learning outcomes. While unrelated to microplastics, science literacy is important for public understanding of environmental pollution including plastic contamination.
