The research findings indicate that children actively participate in substantial conversations regarding the composting process and recognize the vital role of organic waste management for the environment. This study emphasizes the importance of teachers in guiding children to identify and comprehend the distinctions between organic and inorganic waste by focusing on the process of managing composters.
