Abstract

Waste burning remains a common practice in many communities despite its negative impacts on health and the environment. This topic was chosen due to its urgency in the context of air pollution, particularly following the 2022 fire at the Antang landfill in Makassar, which highlighted weaknesses in waste management systems. This study aims to explore how low risk perception and strong social norms are associated with the persistence of waste burning behavior. This research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, involving five informants consisting of both perpetrators and those affected by waste burning. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, and analyzed using thematic techniques. The findings indicate that waste burning behavior is influenced by habits, limited waste collection services, and social norms that support the practice. Although the community is aware of health risks such as respiratory problems, stress, and decreased quality of life, the lack of alternative waste management methods reinforces this behavior. In conclusion, waste burning practices are primarily driven by psychological factors and inadequate environmental conditions. This study recommends improving waste management services, increasing public education about pollution hazards, and strengthening social norms that encourage environmentally friendly practices.

Abstract

Low student engagement in learning remains a serious problem in junior high school education, particularly in Indonesia. Initial survey data from 36 students showed that 52.7% had skipped school without permission, 50% were frequently late, and 75% felt unmotivated to learn. This condition underscores the importance of research on psychological factors that contribute to increased student engagement. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-control and student engagement, which includes four dimensions: agentic, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive, based on the framework proposed by Fredricks et al. (2004) and further developed by Reeve and Tseng (2011). The method employed was a quantitative correlational design, with 207 students aged 12–16 years selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used were the Student Engagement Scale (20 items, ω = .876) and the Self-Control Scale (20 items, ω = .844). Analysis using Pearson's Product-Moment correlation showed a significant positive relationship between self-control and student learning engagement (r = 0.466, p < 0.001). The highest correlation was found in the behavioral dimension, followed by emotional, cognitive, and agentic dimensions. Additional analysis revealed differences based on gender and grade level: female and seventh-grade students had higher self-control and learning engagement than male and eighth-grade students. The novelty of this study lies in testing a multidimensional model of student engagement simultaneously, with self-control as the primary predictor, in the context of Indonesian junior high school students. This topic has been rarely researched. Practically, the results of this study recommend implementing self-control training through character-based activities and self-reflection in school, as well as consistent parenting support at home, to continually increase student learning engagement.
