Abstract

Student teachers and cooperating teachers are mandated to teach and impart to students the needed skills for them to become environmentally conscious citizens upholding sustainable and ecomonical practices. With that, the present study compares the green skills integration practices of student teachers and their cooperating teachers among secondary schools in a province in the Philippines as a basis for an enhanced instructional plan. The study utilizes the comparative design of quantitative research, wherein a questionnaire is used to gather data from 100 respondents (50 student teachers and 50 cooperating teachers) who voluntarily participated in the study. The study is implemented among public secondary schools in a province in the Philippines where the student teachers are deployed. As partners in the internship program, the cooperating teachers of the student teachers are included to compare their integration practices. A questionnaire is used to measure the green skills integration in the teaching practices. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent samples t-test) are used to analyze and identify significant differences in their integration practices. Findings reveal that cooperating teachers are more engaged in integrating green skills than student teachers, highlighting the need for enhanced training and support. A comprehensive learning plan, including targeted training and curriculum integration, is recommended to promote sustainable practices in education.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores community perceptions of environmental conditions and sustainability initiatives in selected barangays of Mariveles, Bataan. Utilizing semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with 30 residents from Barangays Alas-Asin, Baseco, and Sisiman, the research aims to understand local perspectives on water quality, air quality, and community engagement in environmental efforts. Thematic analysis revealed several key findings: participants expressed significant concerns about access to safe water sources and air quality, linking these issues directly to their health and well-being. A strong sense of personal responsibility for environmental stewardship was evident; however, barriers such as time constraints and limited awareness hindered active participation in local initiatives. The study also highlighted the importance of education and communication from local authorities to foster greater community involvement. Participants suggested regular community clean-up drives, enhanced educational programs on sustainability, and improved collaboration with local organizations as effective strategies for addressing environmental challenges. Based on these insights, a five-year Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plan titled “Kilos-Lakas-Kalikasan” is proposed to establish a structured partnership between GNPower and the community, focusing on collaborative projects aimed at enhancing environmental protection. This research contributes to understanding the role of community engagement in sustainability efforts and offers actionable recommendations for improving environmental conditions in Mariveles.
