Abstract

Teachers and the would-be teachers are the facilitators of learning who are the first to implant to us knowledge as we aim to instill sustainable development in every facet of our daily operations. Moreover, to realize sustainable development, this research focuses on the extent of environmental awareness in the framework of waste management among preservice teachers in the College of Teacher Education. This study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design with a 30-item survey questionnaire consisting of five different categories to measure the level of awareness of the preservice teacher. It was administered to a total of 250 third year and fourth-year preservice teachers upon which 213 (85.2%) responded. The findings of this study revealed the multifaceted spectrum of attitudes of the preservice teachers that span from pessimism to optimism in relation to waste management practices and environmental concerns. The results suggest that stakeholders consider a diverse range of perspectives when formulating strategies to promote sustainable waste management practices and cultivate environmental awareness.
