DISASTER RISK KNOWLEDGE AND RECYCLING PRACTICES AMONG SELECTED STUDENTS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES
Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and awareness concerning resilience in disaster risk reduction and recycling practices among CTE students at the University of Mindanao. A descriptive method with the goal of gathering quantifiable data for use in the statistical analysis of the population sample is a well-known method for conducting market research that enables gathering and describing demographic information (Bhat, 2023). The data gathered for this study came from the total number of 350 CTE students enrolled in the school year 2023-2024. It was gathered using a correlational research design with a convenience sampling method. In interpreting the data, Spearman was utilized to determine the significant relationship between the two variables. The study found that there is a significant relationship between disaster risk reduction knowledge and the recycling practices of CTE students. This implies that students have a higher knowledge in terms of disaster risk reduction knowledge and recycling practices.
