摘要：Waste management is a major challenge for many communities across Thailand. A centrallydevelopedsolid waste management curriculum, to promote behavior change among childrenand adolescents, has limitations due to difficulties of generalizability. In this study a locallydevelopedzero waste management curriculum was applied using the Delphi Technique, in-depthinterviews and participatory meetings. This curriculum, consisting of ten 50-minute learningmodules, was implemented in a group of 205 pupils (Grades 4 - 6 primary school), whereas acontrol group of 223 pupils received only a conventional solid waste management curriculum.Pupils learning outcomes were assessed at the end of each session, and on the last day of thecourse, using standardized tests and questionnaires. A test of the differences showed that thescores of learning outcomes among the Experimental Treatment Group, in terms of the CognitiveDomain, the Affective Domain and the Psychomotor Domain, had increased 24.6%, 22.6 %and 32.6%, respectively, from the Control Group; the differences being statistically significant(p-value <0.001). Additionally, pupils’ behavior in conducting ‘Solid Waste Management withthe 3Rs + Disposal’ (namely the reduction, reuse, recycling and appropriate disposal of solidwaste) showed increased differences that were statistically significant (p-value < 0.01). Thelocally-developed Zero Waste Management curriculum was effective in terms of improvingpupils’ knowledge, understanding, awareness, skills and behaviors in solid waste management.
