Ramsey, J. M., & Hungerford, H. (1989). The effects of issue investigation and action training on environmental behavior in seventh grade students. Journal of Environmental Education, 20, 4, 29-34.
Tested the issue investigation and action training (IIAT) instructional program by H. R. Hungerford (1988) et al, an environmental education methodology, on 64 7th graders for 18 wks. 85 7th graders received control science instruction. IIAT training directed at environmental issue analysis, investigation, and resolution promoted responsible environmental behavior among Ss. IIAT instruction promoted specific knowledge, skills, and beliefs critical to responsible environmental behavior. Data indicate that IIAT instruction may help to achieve the goal of citizen participation in environmental issue remediation.
