ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION: KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND PRACTICES AMONG SELECTED POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES STUDENTS, STA. MESA, MANILA, FIRST SEMESTER SCHOOL YEAR 2008-2009
ABSTRACT This study aimed to provide information on the awareness of selected students of PUP Main on Environmental Science concepts for the First Semester, School Year 2008-2009. The descriptive correlation method of research was utilized. Results show that the students in general, possess satisfactory knowledge, desirable attitude and desirable practices towards environmental conservation.
RationaleYouth have always been regarded with both special concerns and special responsibilities in relation to the environment. Undoubtedly, they would be greatly affected by a number of environment risks and hazards we all inherited from our ancestors. They are expected to engage in new form of environmental action and activism that will hopefully generate more effective responses to environmental challenges.
Though we are waking up to the need to change our attitudes and practices concerning the environment, our efforts are not exerted fast enough to avert the dire consequences of our negligence. We as educators should then work hard together so as to motivate our youth to save our environment not only for themselves but also for the future generations.

investigation method of research was used which aimed at determining the knowledge on, attitudes towards, and practices on environmental conservation among selected students of Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Sta. Mesa, Manila and the relationships of the variables to each other.
The test and questionnaires were administered to 394 students randomly selected. In determining the number of respondents, the Slovin formula or sample size was used. Students were selected using the stratified proportional random sampling.
The data needed for the study were obtained using the Test of Knowledge on Environmental Conservation, the Questionnaires on Attitudes and Practices Towards Environmental Conservation designed by Mr. Marvin L. Cadorniga of Philippine Science High School Western Visayas.
Statistical Treatment• The proponent conducted the tests in the different colleges in PUP Sta. Mesa, Manila which were randomly selected. The data were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted using mean as inferential statistics.
Table 1 shows the Level of Knowledge on Environmental Conservation of Selected PUP Students.

• The students, in general, possess desirable attitude towards environmental conservation.
Table 3 shows the Desirability of Practices towards Environmental Conservation of Selected PUP Students. * It shows that 112 out of 394 students or 28.43 percent have “highly desirable” practices of environmental conservation, 125 out of 394 or 31.73 percent have “desirable” practices. * The students, in general, possess desirable attitude towards environmental conservation.
