Abstract
Purpose and Research Question - This study aims to explore the significance of a home project to instill the habit of reducing domestic waste by converting food waste into a useful product. This study attempts to answer the research question on how parents can play a pivotal role in teaching children to practice sustainability living at home.
Methodology - This case study analysed the role of parents in helping an 8-year-old child to carry out project to convert fruit peels into eco-enzyme. Interviews, observation, and artifacts were used to collect data for analysis. Content analysis was performed to assess the application of the ADDIE instructional model for a home-based project. Thematic analyses were carried out to explore the roles of parents in supporting a child in a home-base sustainability project.
Findings - This case study illustrates the use of the ‘Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation’ (ADDIE) instructional model to plan and carry out a homebased sustainability project. The analysis of exemplar provided useful lesson ideas with stepby- step guide to reduce kitchen waste in making eco-enzyme as a homemade cleaning agent using ordinary fruit peels.
Significance and Contribution in Line with Philosophy of LSM Journal – The exemplar presented in this study is significant to educators and researchers who are considering sustainability education to reduce kitchen waste and teach science contextually.
