Abstract

This study aims to raise awareness and promote ethical e-waste management based on Islamic principles. It seeks to educate students and local communities on the importance of sustainable electronic waste disposal while integrating environmental responsibility with religious values. The study was conducted at Western Philippines University and an Islamic boarding school in Rio Tuba, Palawan, Philippines. It involved educational workshops, field surveys, and collaboration with organizations such as Muhammadiyah Philippines and Palawan Muslim Consultative Da’wah. Due to the hazardous nature of e-waste, hands-on recycling activities were replaced with location assessments for future management projects. The program successfully enhanced students’ understanding of e-waste issues and the ethical responsibility of managing electronic waste. Participants engaged in discussions, site visits, and project planning, fostering a strong commitment to sustainable practices within their communities. This study was limited by the inability to conduct hands-on recycling activities due to safety concerns. Additionally, the research focused on a specific educational setting, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. This study contributes to environmental education, particularly in integrating Islamic values with sustainability efforts. It provides a framework for ethical e-waste management that can be applied in educational institutions and community development programs. The findings are relevant to educators, policymakers, and environmental researchers seeking to promote sustainable waste management through religious and ethical perspectives.

Abstract

This study examined the predictive influence of school administrators' leadership and 21st-century science learning practices on Grade 9 students' critical thinking and academic performance in science. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational design with a predictive component was employed in 58 public junior high schools in the Zamboanga del Norte Division, Philippines. Data were collected from 58 school administrators, 89 Grade 9 science teachers, and 340 Grade 9 students using validated questionnaires, a critical thinking test, and official school records. Findings revealed that administrators' leadership was "Very High," 21st-century practices were implemented "Often," and students demonstrated "High" critical thinking and "Very Satisfactory" academic performance. Multiple regression analyses showed that learning environment and school culture (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) and instructional leadership (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of critical thinking, while authentic assessment (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) and integration of critical thinking strategies (β = 0.27, p < 0.001) were the strongest predictors of academic performance. The study provides empirical evidence that school leadership and instructional practices are interconnected drivers of student success. It recommends that administrators prioritize instructional and cultural leadership, and that teachers consistently integrate inquiry-based and cognitively demanding strategies to foster critical thinking and improve science outcomes.
