Abstract

Engaging aspiring pre-service teachers (PsTs) is crucial for achieving sustainable waste separation and recycling levels within the academic community. In this study, we considered three supplementary factors from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to elucidate the formation of actions related to engaging in waste separation and recycling intention on campus (WSRIs). An online survey, utilizing a questionnaire, was administered to over 530 PsTs in East Java, Indonesia, comprising 380 females and 152 males. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the main factors and paths influencing WSRIs. The waste separation and recycling intention of PsTs were primarily influenced by five internal subjective factors and three external factors. Among these, environmental education (EE), perceived behavioral control, and environmental knowledge (EK) displayed the most significant associations, with EE having the greatest direct effect. Conversely, attitude had minimal effect on WSRIs. Moreover, to improve waste separation and recycling practices on campus, it is recommended to integrate EK into daily life, emphasizing its importance in achieving these sustainable goals.

环境教育、知识和设施对职前教师校园垃圾分类和回收意向的影响：印度尼西亚师范院校案例研究

让有抱负的职前教师（PsTs）参与进来，对于在学术界实现可持续的垃圾分类和回收利用水平至关重要。在本研究中，我们考虑了计划行为理论（TPB）中的三个补充因素，以阐明与参与校园垃圾分类和回收意向（WSRIs）相关的行动的形成。我们利用问卷对印度尼西亚东爪哇的 530 多名 PsT 进行了在线调查，其中包括 380 名女性和 152 名男性。采用结构方程模型分析了影响 WSRIs 的主要因素和路径。PsTs的垃圾分类和回收意向主要受五个内部主观因素和三个外部因素的影响。其中，环境教育（EE）、感知行为控制和环境知识（EK）的相关性最为显著，其中环境教育的直接影响最大。相反，态度对 WSRIs 的影响很小。此外，为改善校园内的垃圾分类和回收做法，建议将环境知识融入日常生活，强调其在实现这些可持续目标方面的重要性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management. The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
