ClearDo future teachers’ sustainability commitments really relate to action-oriented educational approaches?
Researchers analyzed educational proposals designed by 130 future secondary school teachers addressing the socioecological problem of microplastic pollution, examining the relationship between teachers' own sustainability perceptions and their selection of action-oriented educational approaches through mixed qualitative and quantitative methods.
A study on elementary school teachers’ perception of the use of plastic instruments in music classes
Researchers surveyed 111 elementary school teachers in South Korea about their concepts and practices related to sustainable development and carbon neutrality, as well as their perceptions of plastic musical instruments used in music classes, examining how environmental awareness shapes educators' views on plastic use in educational settings.
Systematic literature review: a typology of Sustainability Literacy and Environmental Literacy
This systematic literature review develops a typology of sustainability literacy and environmental education frameworks, mapping how different educational approaches define and measure student competencies related to ecological awareness and sustainable behavior.
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.
Perceptions of Teachers in Training on Water Issues and Their Relationship to the SDGs
Researchers surveyed pre-service teachers' knowledge and attitudes about water conservation issues and their links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, finding that while awareness of clean water access was high, understanding of indirect water-related SDG connections — including pollution and ecosystem health — was limited.
A study on elementary pre-service teachers’ perception of the use of plastic instruments in music classes from the carbon neutral perspective
Researchers surveyed 170 pre-service elementary school teachers in Gwangju to assess their understanding of environmental pollution, carbon neutrality, and awareness of plastic musical instruments used in music education, finding varying perceptions about plastic instrument use in relation to sustainability goals.
A study on elementary pre-service teachers’ perception of the use of plastic instruments in music classes from the carbon neutral perspective
Researchers surveyed 170 pre-service elementary school teachers in Gwangju to assess their understanding of environmental pollution, carbon neutrality, and awareness of plastic musical instruments used in music education, finding varying perceptions about plastic instrument use in relation to sustainability goals.
Assessing in-service chemistry teachers’ environmental literacy on hydrosphere pollution
Researchers assessed the environmental literacy of 66 in-service chemistry teachers regarding hydrosphere pollution topics including microplastics, agricultural runoff, ocean acidification, e-waste, and persistent organic pollutants. Teachers showed moderately low overall environmental literacy with limited knowledge and frequent misconceptions on newer issues like microplastics, despite demonstrating strong pro-environmental dispositions.
Environmental education in schools: sustainability and hope
Researchers surveyed 100 teachers in Indonesia to assess the state of environmental education in schools, finding that while teachers hold high expectations for student learning and behavior change, schools need stronger curriculum integration, teacher training, and extracurricular programs to make environmental education effective.
A Retrospective Approach to Pro-Environmental Behavior from Environmental Education: An Alternative from Sustainable Development
This 20-year bibliometric retrospective on environmental education and pro-environmental behaviour research found a persistent gap between acquiring environmental knowledge and changing behaviour, concluding that participatory pedagogical approaches and greater integration of sustainable development into higher education are needed to bridge this divide.
“Sustainable” Is Synonymous to “Eco-Friendly”: Student Perceptions about Sustainability and Sustainable Behavior
Researchers surveyed 139 students aged 10 to understand adolescent perceptions of sustainability and eco-friendly behavior, finding that many conflated "sustainable" with "eco-friendly" and lacked nuanced understanding needed for effective sustainability education.
Environmental attitudes among students at the University of Madeira, Portugal
Researchers used the New Ecological Paradigm scale to measure environmental attitudes among university students in Madeira, Portugal, identifying key challenges in ecological awareness that should be addressed through environmental education programs.
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.
Sustainability in K-12 education: how can schools support students to address challenges of environmental sustainability?
This action research study examines how K-12 schools can promote environmental sustainability, finding that successful programs combine student education, school-wide practices, and community engagement to reduce environmental impact.

This study analyzed survey data from European consumers across multiple countries to assess environmental attitudes and purchasing behavior, finding significant variation between countries in environmental engagement and identifying factors such as education and income that moderate the attitude-behavior gap.
A New Situation Analysis in Environmental Literacy: Microplastic Waste Awareness
Researchers compared microplastic awareness levels among pre-service teachers from different disciplines at a Turkish university using a standardised awareness test. Awareness varied significantly by subject area, with science-related fields scoring higher, highlighting the need for improved environmental literacy education across disciplines.
Pre-Service Primary School Teachers’ Understanding of Biogeochemical Cycles of Elements
Pre-service primary school teachers showed varying levels of understanding of biogeochemical cycles of elements, with individual interest and prior science achievement in chemistry, biology, and physics emerging as important predictors of environmental literacy competence.
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.
Ocean Literacy’s Influence on Integrated Learning: Teachers’ Understanding and Involvement
Researchers investigated ocean literacy integration in Indonesian junior high school education, surveying 116 teachers to examine how their understanding of ocean literacy and participation in related training influenced their inclination toward integrated teaching approaches.
Parental Awareness of Microplastic Pollution and its Relation with Healthy Living Education Consciousness
Researchers surveyed 362 Turkish parents about their awareness of microplastic pollution and its relationship to their consciousness about healthy living education for their children. Results showed a positive correlation between microplastic awareness and healthy living education consciousness, suggesting that environmental awareness and health behavior intentions are linked in parental decision-making.
