Abstract

Exposure of school-age children to information and environmental influences that may encourage smoking behavior remains a critical concern, particularlybecause their understanding of the dangers of smoking is generally still limited.  This article presents the results of a study aimed at measuring the effect ofcounseling on the dangers of smoking on the knowledge of students at SD Inpres Peo. The research employed a quantitative method using a one-group pre-experimental design, specifically the One-Group Pre-Test and Post- Test model. The study population consisted of all fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-gradestudents at SD Inpres Peo, with a total sample of 62 students. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ knowledge after the counseling intervention. During the pre-test, most students demonstrated a low level of knowledge (58%), whereas after the intervention, the majority showed anadequate level of knowledge (67.8%). Results from the Paired Sample T-Test revealed that the mean knowledge score increased from 7.97 to 9.11 following the intervention (p = 0.000). The educational program on the dangers of smoking had a positive impact on increasing students’ knowledge, particularly among fifth-grade students. Support from teachers and the school principal plays an essential role in ensuring the sustainability of the program through thematic learning activities and other school initiatives. The program is expected to foster early behavioral protection and strengthen social norms within the schoolenvironment. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges remain, including student motivation, program sustainability, and the need for long-term evaluation to ensure behavioral change. The expected outcomes of the program extend beyond improved knowledge scores, encompassing the development of collective awareness and the reinforcement of preventive values.

Abstract

Early childhood environmental interventions increasingly promote waste-disposal habits, yet limited community-based programs have combined teacher modeling, child-friendly waste infrastructure, and multidimensional behavioral assessment among preschool children. This community engagement program aimed to improve teachers’ waste-disposal behavior and modeling capacity while strengthening preschool children’s positive waste-disposal development in six kindergartens in Makassar and Gowa, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A Participatory Action Research approach was applied through advocacy, focus group discussions, instrument assessment, enumerator training, baseline measurement, teacher-modeling training, school-based mentoring, post-intervention assessment, reflection, and program revision. Twelve teachers participated in the training, and each school received segregated waste bins for organic, inorganic, and hazardous waste with color-coded labels and visual illustrations. Teachers demonstrated significant improvements in modeling ability, knowledge, attitudes, and practices after the intervention, with all Wilcoxon signed-rank test results showing p < 0.001. Preschool children also showed significant improvements in cognitive, language, motor, social, and affective domains, with posttest scores exceeding pretest scores across all participating schools. The findings indicate that teacher modeling supported by accessible waste-disposal facilities can serve as a practical school-based environmental-health intervention for establishing positive habits during early childhood.

Abstract

Growing interest in plastic waste valorization has highlighted the potential of pyrolysis technology; however, its community-level application remains limited, particularly in rural waste management systems. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen local capacity by implementing pyrolysis technology to convert plastic waste into alternative fuel in Mattiro Ade Village, Pinrang Regency, Indonesia. The program adopted a participatory approach integrating Community-Based Research and Participatory Action Research. Activities included preparation, pyrolysis unit fabrication, operational testing, community outreach, practical training, and transfer of the unit to the local Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Waste Processing Facility. Qualitative evaluation was conducted through participatory observation of community understanding, involvement, and operational readiness. The results showed improved awareness of plastic waste management, active community participation, and adequate readiness among local operators to use the pyrolysis unit. The initiative also demonstrated the feasibility of introducing small-scale pyrolysis within a community-based waste management framework. By linking plastic waste reduction with alternative fuel production, this program offers a practical pathway for strengthening local environmental governance and promoting circular resource use. Further implementation should prioritize technical assistance, routine monitoring, and fuel quality assessment to support operational sustainability and replication in comparable rural communities.
