ABSTRACT This study uses a mixed methods research design, which is a sequential approach where quantitative studies are followed by qualitative studies. The target population of this study was primary school teachers in Perak while the study population was teachers who were directly involved in teaching lace school environment education. Researchers selected teachers who are committed to environmental education at 38 Perak state primary schools with 380 teachers as a population. Researchers use quantitative research design and observation methods to gain a sense of teacher commitment in influencing the effectiveness of environmental education. The findings showed that there was a low positive correlation (r = .175, p> .05) between teacher commitment and primary school environment based on the Pearson Correlation test. To see the difference in the level of commitment of teachers at the high, medium and low levels of primary education; One-way ANOVA statistical tests were used to see the mean of one variable for more than two non-dependent groups. Based on the ANOVA test, the results of the analysis of the difference in the level of teacher commitment to primary school environment, p <0.05. Based on the study value F = 1.13, p = 0.29 is obtained, which is a significance level greater than 0.05. While qualitative research also provides the findings of the primary teachers' commitment to primary school environment education. This suggests that if teachers' commitment is low then the level of environmental education is low. It is hoped that this study will serve as a benchmark and guide to support a specific subject of Environmental Education science, in enhancing the understanding and implementation of environmental education in the country. Keywords: Environmental Education, Primary Schools, Teacher Commitment ___________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Environmental education is a science that enhances people's awareness of the role and responsibility of preserving the quality of the environment (Whitney, 2014). Environmental education certainly helps new and old generations protect the life of the human world (Taylor, 2014). One of the ways in which environmental education is needed is to integrate environmental education into classroom and classroom teaching (Valerie, 2016). Furthermore, 3 Proceeding: 1st International Conference on Social Science, Humanities and Regional Economy (I-SHARE' 2019) (eISBN: 978-967-17343-1- 5) Hatyai , Thailand education is a fundamental agent used to control the environment. It is also for sustainable development since the Declaration of Tbilisi 1978. The Tbilisi Declaration defines environmental education as a learning process that can raise public awareness of the environment, knowledge and challenges that need to be addressed in relation to current environmental issues (Tilbury, 2015). Schools are a major way of addressing environmental issues (Moroye, 2015). In this regard, environmental education is not limited to the process of teaching and learning in the classroom and should be viewed as an area of education across the curriculum and the curriculum (Holdman, 2015). This is because education is seen as an asset because the education system is an ongoing process for training human beings for effective and sustainable development (Taylor, 2014). Braun (2015) states that successful learning processes will produce individuals and societies who are sensitive, intellectual, active, understanding and capable of identifying things for good or bad (Joy, 2014). Therefore, this is because education is the most influential agent of change in society and life as it can bring change to society from the backdrop and never miss the changing times of society as a developed and civilized society (Burger, 2014). Through education, especially environmental education, teachers will be able to create a society that is able to understand the relationship between the human environment and the physical environment (Holland, 2017). Also the ability to understand these interactions is important because the two environments are interrelated, as any excess disturbance to the physical environment will have an impact on the human environment (De’Silva, 2018). LITERATURE REVIEW Researchers have conducted this research based on several research objectives. In this regard, the mission of environmental education is to seek human well-being and sustainable economic development

PROJECT SUMMARY The second quarter of 2013 saw the full implementation of the STEP Project with the community learning centres, the automatic weather stations and the Model for Participatory Sustainable Costal Resources Management in place and functioning. The project in this reporting period focused on enhancing community planning and participation and sharing of good practices to create sustainability of pilot activities. The Comparative Law Codes: Thai and Islam and the Sharia Curriculum were in the drafting process. A series of workshops on the violation of human rights were conducted to pave the way for creating networks for effective protection of women and children rights. The insider peace-building platform (IPP) process was concluded with recommendations to expand the IPP networks in communities. The second round of investigative reporting was initiated to gain a deeper understanding of the Peace Dialogue Process between the National Security Council (NSC) and the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN). The project initiated additional activities to investigate and monitor peace talks between the Thai government and the BRN, as the formal recognition of a peace process is a major policy shift on the part of the Thai government which prompts the BRN to emerge in the public. The project intended to work with civil society groups, government agencies and relevant organizations to create safety or a road map to pave the way for peace process as it is a legitimate mean of resolving the conflict.

  • Chapter 2 Methodology
    Chapter 2 Methodology This chapter describes the methodology used in the two studies reported in this thesis. Graphical and statistical analyses were carried out using the R program (R Development Core Team 2007). They include methods for descriptive analysis when measuring prevalence, and odds ratios for measuring associations. Pearson’s chi-squared test was used to assess the overall association between binary outcomes and categorical determinants, and logistic regression was used to model the detailed associations between these outcomes and determinants after adjusting for other determinants. 2.1 Data source and data management Data used were taken from the database of 26,158 women who delivered singleton babies in Pattani hospital during the period from 1 October 1996 to 30 September 2005. Demographic information including complications, delivery type, birth weight, 1-minute and 5-minute Apgar scores, and records of neonatal morbidity were collected by birth attendants. Relevant data for our studies were transferred to a MySQL database and extensively checked and cleaned to eliminate errors arising from faulty and incomplete data entry where possible. The data were then stored in text files suitable for analysis using the R statistical system (Venables and Smith 2002). This software has a suite of many appropriate functions for graphing and analysing statistical data. 10 11 The data were analyzed using neonatal morbidity (complication based-risk factors for neonatal morbidity) as an outcome for the first paper, and using caesarean delivery as an outcome for the second paper. Due to the fact that caesarean section was recorded as a complication and at most one complication was recorded for each delivery, the numbers of cases were 19,268 for the first study and 25,829 for the second study as shown in Figure 2.1.
