High School Students’ Knowledge Levels and Attitudes About Waste Batteries, Their on Health and Sustainability, and the Effect of Health Education: Two Selected High School Examples

Öz

Objective: Waste batteries are both a risk factor that may affect human health and a resource that should be recycled due to the metals they contain. In this study, high school students' level of knowledge, sustainability attitudes and related factors about the properties of waste batteries, possible health effects and sustainability of waste batteries were examined. Method: The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental design in a one-group pre-test-post-test design. The study was conducted with 168 9th grade students in science and vocational high schools. The entire population was selected as the sample. “Sustainability Awareness Scale (SCS)” and ‘Waste Batteries Knowledge Level’ were used for pre and post-study evaluation. Results: The post-test median scores of male (p=0.004) and female (<0.001) science high school students are statistically significant and higher. In addition, the post-test median score of students whose family income was equal to their expenses (p=0.001) and whose income was more than their expenses (p=0.008) was statistically significant and higher. According to gender, the post-test median score for the total score of the SCS was statistically significant and higher in female (p=0.043). The post-test median score for knowledge level was higher and statistically significant in male (p=0.044) and female (p=0.012) vocational high school students. In addition, the post-test median score of the students whose family income was equal to their expenses (p=0.007) and whose income was more than their expenses (p=0.010) was higher and statistically significant. The median scores of knowledge level (<0.001), total score (p=0.001), knowledge (p=0.004) and attitude subdimension (<0.001) in science high school were higher than those in vocational high school and statistically significant. Conclusion: In our study, while the total score of the SCS was found to be “moderate” in vocational high school students, it was found to be “high” in science high school students.
