The purpose of this study is the effect of project learning-based Zero Waste on Environmental sensitivity and consumption behavior of elementary school students. The research subject consists of 22 students from single 6th grade class at an elementary school in P city, forming the experimental group. In order to carry out this research, pre- and post-surveys on environmental sensitivity and consumer behavior were conducted and the results were analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. First, project learning-based zero waste education had a positive impact on elementary students' environmental awareness. The experimental group that applied this program showed significant improvements in the subdomains of environmental sensitivity before and after the class, including sensitivity, aesthetic appreciation and emotional stability, and empathy and compassion. Second, project learning-based zero waste education positively influenced the consumption behavior of elementary school students. The experimental group, which the program was applied to, showed significant improvement in the subdomains of consumption behavior, including purchasing behavior, usage behavior, and processing behavior, both before and after the class. As above, the project learning-based zero waste education positively influenced elementary students' environmental sensitivity and consumption behavior, and it is considered an effective learning program that can respond to environmental issues and cultivate the right awareness.
