| Abstract | This study implemented a "Training to Trainers" approach to sustainably transferknowledge on solid waste separation and management in schools from current to futuregenerations. The goal was to empower youth to translate their learning into concrete wastereduction outcomes, such as accurate waste separation, increased beneficial use of waste andPET plastic, and a true understanding of waste management. The 150-minute training utilizedan environmental education model, incorporating instructors, PowerPoint presentations, videos,and three active learning activities: solid waste separation games, solid waste compositiongames, and solid waste-to-treasure games. Participants included 1,610 students from 25secondary schools across Thailand. Assessment results showed that upper secondary studentsachieved a higher average learning score (72.60%) than lower secondary students (70.55%),with no statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level for content on solid waste separation,recycling, and organic waste management. Participant satisfaction with the training was ratedhighly (M = 4.52), as was the perceived applicability of the knowledge gained (M = 4.58).A one-month post-training follow-up revealed that educators had integrated waste managementtopics into English and science curricula, with consistent use of waste separation activities inschools, indicating sustained knowledge application and expansion. |
