Utilization and Attitudes Toward Recycled and Reused Materialsas Teaching Resources Among Student Demonstrators
Full text linkThis study investigates the utilization and perception of recycled and reused materials as instructional materials in the pedagogical process among Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) students. With increasing environmental concerns, including waste disposal and resource conservation, this research aims to explore how sustainable practices, such as recycling and reusing, can be integrated into the teaching and learning process. The study used a quasi-experimental design, involving 27 second-year BEEd students who conducted demonstration teaching using various recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, cans, and newspapers. Data were collected through interviews and observations, which were then analyzed using a thematic approach. The results revealed that recycled materials were frequently used due to their accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. Participants highlighted the advantages of using these materials, such as reducing waste, saving money, and promoting creativity. However, challenges were noted in terms of preparation and the perceived effectiveness of these materials in enhancing student learning. The study concludes that while the use of recycled and reused materials has potential educational and environmental benefits, further support in terms of teacher training and resources is necessary to fully integrate these materials into teaching strategies. The findings suggest the need for continued research and initiatives to promote sustainable practices in education
