Aim of the present research is to reveal correlation between
procedural knowledge of recycling and socioeconomic status
of the primary school children. The present research was
designed in correlational research, one of the quantitative
research tradition. Data were analyzed through SpearmanBrown Rank Order and multiple regression. Results of the data
analysis indicated that procedural knowledge of recycling is
positively correlated with maternal education, maternal
employment, and residential area rather than paternal education and paternal employment. Regression model strongly fitted into observed data. Regression model also revealed that
maternal education, maternal employment and residential
area can predict procedural knowledge of recycling among
primary school children. Results of the study were discussed
along with social learning theory, social capital and relevant literature.
