The Utilization of Mathematical Modeling in Promoting Environmental Awareness and Sustainable Practices in Batangas State University - TNEU Campuses

Abstract

This study covered the mathematical modeling utilization as strategic instrument in promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices of selected campus of Batangas State University – TNEU campuses. As anchored to different theories and sustainability frameworks, it demonstrated how mathematical models provide structured, evidence-based approaches students, faculty, and staff.

The purpose of the study aimed to find if there is significant relationship between respondents’ promotion of environmental awareness and the degree of utilizing mathematical models. Moreover, the study also aimed to know the majority challenges faced by the respondents in understanding mathematical models as tools for environmental awareness and sustainable practices.

The research used both quantitative and qualitative approaches, integrating survey data, statistical analyses, and mathematical simulations for assessing levels of awareness and the effectiveness of sustainable practices. Data were collected via G-suite electronic mail from the science and/or mathematics faculty of some campuses of BatStateU – TNEU.

Findings were found to have highlighting potentials of mathematical modeling, not only as an academic exercise, but rather as a practical instrument in policy formulation, the curriculum integration, and definitely institutional decision making.  

Ultimately, the study focused underscoring the critical role of mathematics in the advancement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level, which will be positioning Batangas State University - TNEU as a model of environmental stewardship and sustainability in higher education.
