ClearHigh School Sustainable and Green Chemistry: Historical–Epistemological and Pedagogical Considerations
Not relevant to microplastics — this is a chemistry education paper discussing how to better integrate sustainable and green chemistry into high school curricula, tracing the history of the Science, Technology, and Society movement and advocating for systems thinking approaches.
Science Studies teachers’ selection of content when teaching for Sustainable Development
This paper is not about microplastics; it investigates how Swedish Science Studies teachers select content when teaching for Sustainable Development, finding that most teachers struggle to take a truly holistic approach that integrates social, economic, and environmental perspectives. The study is an education research paper with no relevance to microplastic science.
Integrating STEM Curriculum Across the Schools' Learning Environment to Reflect & Impact Life Practices
This paper is not about microplastics. It discusses integrating STEM curriculum across school environments to promote sustainability education and critical thinking, referencing UN Sustainable Development Goals. While it mentions environmental challenges broadly, the paper focuses on educational pedagogy rather than microplastic pollution or environmental contamination research.
Chemistry inquiry conducted by secondary school students into material degradation in the context of sustainability
Despite its title referencing material degradation and sustainability, this paper describes a chemistry education project in which ninth-grade students investigated how materials break down in the environment using inquiry-based learning — not original microplastic research. It examines green chemistry principles at the secondary school level, and is not relevant to microplastic pollution or human health impacts.
Perspectives on education for sustainability in chemistry teaching
This review examines perspectives on integrating education for sustainability into chemistry teaching, addressing how unsustainable lifestyles drive climate change, water pollution, and resource depletion. The paper discusses how chemistry educators can align curricula with sustainable development principles to prepare students to meet future societal needs.
Pedagogical Purposes of Scientifical and Technological Literacy within Sustainable and Green Chemistry in the High School
This paper distinguishes between environmental, sustainable, and green chemistry and discusses how these frameworks can be integrated into high school science education. Teaching students about plastic pollution and its chemical impacts is part of developing scientifically literate citizens.
Work-In-Progress: Integrating Sustainability Across the Chemical Engineering Curriculum
This work-in-progress describes efforts to integrate sustainability concepts, including plastic pollution and circular economy principles, across the chemical engineering curriculum, developing case studies and learning objectives for engineering students.
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.
Assessing experimental activities in chemistry instruction: a systematic review of available tools
This systematic review of assessment tools for chemistry lab activities found that most tools focus on cognitive outcomes in higher education, with limited attention to psychomotor skills or primary/secondary education levels. While not directly about microplastics, the review highlights gaps in how experimental science education is evaluated.
Green Chemistry Strategies for Mitigating Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Environments
Researchers reviewed green chemistry strategies that can reduce microplastic pollution at the source, including the development of biodegradable polymers, solvent-free synthesis routes, and the use of renewable feedstocks. The review frames chemical innovation as a key tool for pollution prevention.
Towards Sustainable Cosmetics Packaging
Not directly relevant to microplastics — this review examines the broader sustainability challenges of cosmetics packaging, including environmental, social, and economic trade-offs, without a specific focus on microplastic pollution.
Analysis of Students' Sustainability Awareness of the Environment
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research — it assesses the environmental sustainability awareness of high school students in West Java, Indonesia, using a descriptive quantitative educational research approach.
Microplastics Outreach Program: A Systems-Thinking Approach To Teach High School Students about the Chemistry and Impacts of Plastics
An outreach program for high school students used a systems-thinking approach to teach the chemistry of plastics, microplastic pollution, and environmental impacts. Student participants showed improved understanding of how plastic production and disposal connect to ocean ecology and human health.
A Study on the Awareness and Perception towards Sustainable Fashion
This paper is not directly relevant to microplastics; it surveys university students' awareness and attitudes toward sustainable fashion and the broader environmental impacts of the textile industry, including waste and water contamination.
Community-Engaged Research Projects in School Settings: Science Teachers’ Practices and Reflections
Not relevant to microplastics — this education research study analyzes how nine teachers implemented community-engaged research projects addressing environmental justice issues in their classrooms, focusing on pedagogy, student empowerment, and institutional challenges.
Sustentabilidade no processo produtivo da indústria cosmética: uma revisão da literatura
This systematic literature review examined sustainability practices in the cosmetics industry, including the growing concern over microplastic ingredients in cosmetic products. The review identified trends toward greener formulations, sustainable packaging, and consumer-driven pressure for environmental responsibility. The cosmetics sector is increasingly recognizing its environmental impact and exploring alternatives to synthetic microplastics.
Educating for environmental transition: the summer school on microplastics
Researchers developed a summer school curriculum on micro- and nanoplastics to train students at the intersection of environmental science, toxicology, and sustainability. The program used MNPs as a case study for interdisciplinary education about complex environmental challenges requiring both scientific and policy responses.
Fourteen-Year-Old Students’ Understanding of Problems Related to Microplastics in the Environment
Researchers assessed 14-year-old Slovenian students' understanding of microplastics in the environment, a topic absent from the national curriculum. The study found that students had limited knowledge, though performance correlated with grades in chemistry and biology, and exposure through informal or extracurricular science activities improved understanding.
Service-learning
This paper is not directly about microplastics; it describes a service-learning pedagogy used at a Croatian chemistry faculty to teach environmental protection, with community-based projects as the primary focus.
An Examination of Microplastics: Environmental Impact, Sustainability, and Recyclability Innovation
This paper examined the environmental impact of microplastics, sustainability implications of current plastic use, and recycling options to address the plastic pollution crisis. It called for a transition toward circular economy approaches that reduce primary plastic production and increase recycled content.
