Description

Abstract: This study explored the relationship between environmental awareness and practices. It sought to determine the level of environmental awareness and the extent of environmental practices and examine the correlation of the environmental awareness and environmental practices of the Junior High School students. This utilized correlational descriptive research and identified simple random sampling using Likert Scale survey-questionnaire and nonparametric correlation grouped with four environmental themes. This study found a high and good level of environmental awareness and practices in Stewardship and Finiteness of Resources. It also revealed contradicting levels of environmental awareness and practices in Change where it had a ‘high’ and ‘poor’ interpretations while in Materials Cycle had fairly aware and good interpretations. The study expressed an impressive overall high and good levels of interpretations yet displayed a weak correlation between environmental awareness and practices using the Spearman’s rho coefficient. It suggested creating programs that increase environmental  awareness and practices.

Keywords: environmental awareness, environmental practices, connectedness, ecological sensitivity, climate-disaster related risks.
