Sažetak
This study targets development of an effective training scheme model that can be implemented
at elementary school level with focus on recovery and recycling of wasted papers
in Turkey. For this purpose, three schools were chosen from a district within Istanbul.
They were separated from one another as full intervention (FI), semi-intervention
(SI) and control (C) schools. Different levels of educational activities carried out in the
schools, mostly in the FI school, were directed toward being informative as regards recycling
and the development of a positive attitude. Afterwards, in order to evaluate the effects
of the training, paper wastes were collected in recycle bins placed at appropriate
points in schools and weighed on a weekly basis. Quite a significant result was found
(p = 0.0001), when the difference was calculated through the Kruskal Wallis Variance
Analysis method, regarding the weekly average amount of paper in each of the three
schools against per person. Furthermore, when the results were evaluated and compared
as to the ones before the 2.5 months summer vacation and the ones after it, the seven
measurements taken before (p = 0.001) and the eight taken afterwards (p = 0.0001), were
found to have valid differences, once again, as against schools. The results show that
the approach we provided to education is an effective method not only for the collection
of paper wastes but also for applications in various areas of health education.
